Even though it was a weekend, I decided to come to work, unfortunately, I wasn't able to do much, well I did a lot of studying though, but not actually work, but more of research, which I kind of felt no pressure in doing, because afterall, it was just learning and training.
However, it wasn't the highlight of my day. What made this day a bit different from the rest is that this day I had the talk with a 23-year-old female officemate of mine. Yes it is sex/relationships talk, but not the kind where you discuss where the birds and the bees come from but mostly about the opposite sex. I kind of didn't expect that I would be the one to give her that kind of talk because there was an officemate of ours who was really itching to have that conversation with her. Let's just say that C, my naive officemate, really thinks that boys do not masturbate and she even wonders why guys are so turned on by boobs and butts. It was kind of hard explaining to C without me sounding like a slut and even compromising myself. I am no expert at this but I do know a little bit about the opposite sex, well having dated a lot in the past (even in the present, but that's a different story). It was kind of funny discussing a thing with a woman who still has the mindset of a 12 year old. I don't know how she grew up, oh well.
Lately, I've been finding myself being the giver of such talks. A few weeks back, I managed to somehow clear things up with another female office about the way she acts in front of this certain guy and that this guy misinterprets her and thinks that she is into him. I found out that she wasn't really aware that she was doing this and that and she told me that I convinced her that I was right, and now, I think things are going pretty well with her. Yey for her.
Cheers,
J

you know, i wonder how your officemate (the first one) could possibly have been so sheltered! and i'm kinda curious about how the second woman was acting around that guy. ?

what? she's 23 and she still thinks that way? yeah i agree with silverwhisper is she really that sheltered? sa panahon ngayun hindi pa nya alam? well sana maenjoy ang araw na ito kahit nagtratrabaho ka!!!! -

hi pusscat. :> Welcome to my blog. :> I myself have recently returned to blogging after several months of absence, so I don't have much posts. Anyway, thank you very much :>
ed. Well, I actually did not know the exact reason why she was so sheltered. I mean we even came from the same university, well in different branches at least, but back in that university you'll be exposed to all kinds of things. She does read a lot of books, but she quickly dismisses them as somewhat not reflecting real life. Let's just say C assumes the best in people.
My other officemate however was acting all interested and friendly and even telling the guy what happened to her at work, or at the house, or just anything under the sun, and the guy would do the same. The guy would call her cellphone at least several times a day, and she even entertains it. Unfortunately, the guy is married and has a family, and the guy even told her that he has a crush on her and gave her lots of gifts, while he should be showering his own wife with gifts and compliments.
queenie. :P Nasa bahay ako ngayon, and I'm gonna do my chores a bit later. Yeah, she really is sheltered and I mean sheltered. It was kind of funny having that talk because it was like explaining relationships to a 8 year old! :> You should have seen her face when I was trying have this conversation with her.
Cheers,
J

yeah, I'm glad I did too. I just don't want my friends to be considered as a mistress because I know that my friend is a good person, she just wasn't really aware of what she was getting herself into.
Cheers,
