Hansum!

I know that this is a little cruel but I just really had to share this short but, nonetheless, interesting conversation that I had with an officemate. This officemate of mine is from Myanmar and has been working in the company at least 3months longer than I have. He has a heavy accent when he speaks and this causes me to raise an eyebrow and repeatedly ask what he just said. He has this "astig" aura especially since he's one of the more experienced people in hardware... and this is one of the reasons why our conversation this afternoon is just one of those that I just had to share... :D

We went to the Siemens building for a basic training on their new programmable logic controller series (I know, boring). Anyway, after an hour of boring and seemingly-useless lecture, the instructor finally decided to give us a short break... thank goodness! So there I was in the Siemens pantry with 4 other officemates, drinking coffee and talking about Prison Break and Heroes ;)

Then this guy from Myanmar suddenly bursts out and says...

HIM: "This guy from Prison Break ah, the one with the tattoos, he very hansum!"

My coffee cup stops midway to my mouth and I go very still. Time slows down as I struggle to compose myself and manage to look at him with a straight face.

ME: "Uh, you find him handsome?"

HIM: "Yeah lah. He has very nice build, no fat."

I smiled and decided to play along.

ME: "He does look good, doesn't he? With those captivating eyes."

HIM: "I like him when he wear business suit. Very nice..."

I am still speechless and still couldn't believe that this masculine guy also finds one of my Hollywood crushes attractive.

ME: "Yes, he... uhhh..."

HIM: "I like his tattoos lah. Very nice..."

And he proceeds to cross his legs, almost like a woman who fantasizes about a possible affair with a stranger. I look around and thought about calling the other guys over to hear this new revelation but thought twice about it.

What the heck... it's not every day that I find somebody to talk about Hollywood hunks in the office. I took a big gulp from my coffee and smiled... decided to just sit back and enjoy this interesting conversation.

ME: "So... what do you think about the actor who plays Lincoln...?"

Additional thoughts for the day, the people in the condo were just hanging out and a couple of them were jamming with the guitar and singing along. Suddenly, a guy mentioned a song that I still have to find...

XXX: "Bai! Tukara pud 'tong The Savior Is A Child ni Gary V.!!!"

*peace na lang daan*
