Flirting thinz

That awkward moment when a lady refuses to give her name after you both spend time chatting. What I learnt growing up, there’s a good reason why a lady won’t give you her name after spending close an hour seated together and having a fairly descent conversation. Note the emphasis for the sake of clarity. So, a number of options that come to mind are: 

• either your (yes you!) breath stinks, 
• you’re (yes you ooooooo :-)) so damn boring or 
• she has a ring on her finger. 

Pardon me for the limited options but there’s every chance all the answers hold for you. First, she was truly attractive enough for me to break from my routine third-screen fiddling. If any, I was staring at a blank screen the moment she sat beside me. I gave in afterwards trying a move using the same third-screen device; shared a funny re-tweet from Jesse with her but I could have sworn she didn't smile until I asked if she got the joke after which she then gave a wry smile. Bad start!!! Yet, I didn't stop. I got her started on social media before delving into tinybuddha.com, encouraging her to check up the site bla bla bla...rest is history.
Back to dissecting why this damsel refused to give her name. First, option one is out of the question even though I don’t use tic-tacs. Rather, my daily dental exercise is a mix of good ol’ kpako (chewing stick) and new school tooth paste. Now, if a double combo can’t ensure freshness of breath then it’s a clear case of halitosis. Even then, there were moments where she bent her head (ear) close to my mouth (face) to pick out my words :-). Anyways, moving forward. For the second option, I can best say it’s relative. If any, she looked and eventually confided in me that there was something weighing hard on her mind. Something to do with some task she had to do before the start of the day’s work. I asked if it meant a threat to her job to which she said, ‘no’. Hmmm…who knows, there might have been more to the issue. Siju just lost hers not cos of any task she refused to do on her part. Rather, the classic case of many a Nigerian company in the last couple of years: closure. She’s back in Kd praying for our breakthrough while I’m here doing…well, we’re allowed to keep friends of the opposite sex. Anyways, nothing do us.

And so, we alighted at the TBS and went our separate ways. Yet, it doesn’t look like the end in sight as we both board the BRT from Festac town. In order words, she resides in the hood and two, uses the same mode of transportation. And since I’m still either working off 14^th floor, Nitel Building Marina or 6^th floor, Debonair building, Sabo (former ends in a few days *smh*), I’ll still ride the BRT along same route. To add to that, if we’re destined to be like Chelsea were destined for the UCL title then I could be riding the BRT for the next couple of years [...and still have a garagefull of private cars, jet, bikes, amin] like Matt Damon’s character did in the movie “Adjustment Bureau”. Anyways, we’ll see in good time is all I'm tryna say.

Me, I got work to do up here this morning. Bit of update. I’m tryna see out the delay in getting this graphic assets in from Ikenna with some lessons on BB app development. Yeah, there’s a good chance I can sneak the same àsà flagship onto the BB platform. Tell you what, if I can achieve the latter, it’ll be nirvana, believe me in terms of our multi-platform goals even if for an MVP. Anyways, pored through some 90 pages of text this morning and I’m pretty much catching on. I mean, it’s java so it’s made it all the more easier and not greek if you know what I mean. Plus, since I already have the logic of what I want on Android, I’m just going straight for the classes required. Seems I’m a bit late on for the Samsung opening going by the launch of the Samsung pocket phone that’s been all over the blogosphere lately. Anyways, if it so be then it’s back to the original plan. But then, the folks from GTUGs and the CCHub may know something I don’t know in terms of platform support for distribution so I’m keeping my fingers crosses. [sigh]…it’s all for the Greater good, God willing. It’s Friday! Yeah, many say so but Friday’s really no different from even Sunday for me. Yeah, same noni. All I know is I give Glory to God week in week out for the baby steps towards the BIG PICTURE.
