show me

last sunday, a friend mentioned to me that she and an officemate were going to have their warts removed.

i told her to try this herbal cream before she goes for electrocautery.  i've used it myself and i was vouching for it.

she objected saying they have a flag ceremony the following morning and she doesn't want her officemates to see her face with dots.

i told her it's okay.  the dots will be there just a few days after that her face will already be clear.

she kept on declining...

i kept on insisting...
(wahaha...  mind your own business!!!)

i had lines like:
it's just external, what matters is what you are inside.
it's just a few days; think long term.
it's not going to be permanent; it will pass.
don't be too conscious, for all you know people are not even looking at you.

nothing i said could convince her so i just forced her, wahaha...
("with friends like these...")

the cream was applied on three of her warts.

guess what, last night she amazedly and very happily tells me the warts have fallen off.  she now intends to use the cream on the remaining ones.

me:  'have it applied on a friday so it will be less noticeable by monday.'

friend:  'aw, no!  i'll have it applied right away!'

me:  'i thought you don't want your officemates to see you with a dotted face?'

friend:  'i don't care...  the dots will disappear anyway.  after that my face will already be clear.'

me:  'see!!!  that was what i was telling you last sunday, you wouldn't listen.  i had to force you!'

friend just chuckles...

results persuade...
results convince...
results convert...  : )
