This morning I came to the office quite decent than my normal outfit. I was wearing heels and khaki pants instead of my usual denim pants and flat shoes. The reason, because I was trying out my new shoes and I feel like dressing up. However everybody started speculating, well in a funny and joking way that I dressed up because of an interview for a possible new employee for our company whom they were saying has a crush on me. When I tried explaining the truth, it seemed quite an excuse to them. Well, of course if I were on their shoes, I would have thought of the same.
When someone called me at my cellphone the other day asking if I was on my way home and I ate and all concerns like that, everybody speculated that I was talking to my boyfriend, if not one of my suitors, but the truth is, I am just talking to my guy bestfriend who is always concerned for me btw. When they ask me if its a guy or a girl, I said a guy but its not what you think, and the reply that I got was, "yeah right, we believe you". But of course, these were all in good faith and did not mean to offend whatsoever, and of course, I took no offense by this.
One thing that they also speculate was then everytime that I was about to come home quite late, I text a boyfriend and ask permission that I was going home late. Of course, this is another half truth. Yes, whenever I will come home late, I text someone, but not a boy, rather my landlady because there are times when other tenants would lock the main gate, and unfortunately, it can only be opened from the other side, another fool proof security measure. When I try to explain, all I get was "okay, we believe you".
This evening, when my landlady asked me a favor and she texted me, and I decided to come home earlier so that I can do that favor, everybody speculated that the reason why I arrived this morning clad in more-than-my-normal attire is that I have a date and that is why I am leaving earlier than usual. Of course, I just decided to shut up and let everybody speculate and have fun, plus it really does wonders to my reputation. =)
I think people find it hard to believe the ff:
- that I really don't date around that much
- that I don't sleep around
- that I also say no to alcohol
- that I don't bring men to my apartment
Cheers,
