the judgment of the heart

i was out with someone when a snow-white-fair, smooth-skinned, pretty young lady in a mini-skirt and low neckline suddenly sat directly in my companion's line of sight.

i broke out into a sheepish grin and the guy asked why i was smiling.

i said he had a nice view.

the guy chuckled then turned shifty trying to avoid looking at the pretty young thing right in front of him, hahaha.

i told him he should enjoy the view.

the guy replied, "mas maganda ka pa diyan."  ->  you're prettier than her.

me:  "huh?!  mas maganda 'yan, 'no!"  ->  she is prettier!

the guy insisted i looked better.

i countered, "hindi ako bulag, ano ba!"  ->  i am not blind!  hello!

still, the guy went on to extol how i looked.

ugh!

guys, you don't have to lie to me about these things.  i suppose, i hope, i am not ugly.  but i am realistic enough to know that i am far from gorgeous.  there are so many others out there definitely better-looking than me.  i can handle that.  i know when it comes to matters of the heart, it is not about who looks best.

i know it from experience.  i meet cute guys; i meet, uhm, not so, or even not at all, good-looking guys.  the cute ones don't always generate a spark.  sometimes the heart falls for ugly...  ♥♥
