To the stranger I run into at...

[Arya_NotStark]

---

This thread is sort of a shout-out to a stranger you bumped into that you think is really interesting but you weren't able to talk to for certain reasons like fear of sounding like a creep, or you were not just too confident at that time (wa kay ligo, tootbrush, o panudlay).


Please describe the stranger, where and when you met him/her, and tell him why you find him/her interesting.


Gets ra?

What do you know, he or she may be here lurking too.



Maybe I should start with an example....

Hala, example o:

To the guy I bumped into at the Nike shop in Ayala, Saturday, around 6 p.m.

Nagsunod ta sa cashier. You look spiffy, although I couldn't really get a good look at your face because staring that close would be creepy. I like your carefree look (long hair in a ponytail) and you have this big-faced sporty watch and cool red running shoes.

Wa koy panudlay ato mao di kaayo ko confident.

Kinda like craigslist's missed connections.

I never had this type of moments ( that i can remember anyway). I rarely am out and I prefer having spent some time knowing the person to find them impressive rather than running into them and having found them impressive.

Just me. =)

Ug napa Google dayun ko! Wow! Some of what I found:

A missed connection is a type of personal advertisement which arises after two people meet but are too shy or otherwise unable to exchange contact details. The Missed Connections section of Craigslist gets thousands of ads of this type every month for cities such as New York and San Francisco.[1]
The feature was started by Jim Buckmaster, Craigslist's CEO, after he noticed a common type of posting in their personal ads, which he characterised as "you-smiled-at-me-on-the-subway-platform". He sees the format as addressing a common human need and being ideal for romantic comedy, "Missed Connections give people that second chance ... They represent persistence in the face of long odds, which definitely adds to their artistic appeal." A variety of such artistic works have been developed including illustrations, movies, plays, poetry and songs. Missed connection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi MollyMillions!

Well, I wasn't just referring to looks (sorry kay mao ang sa first example). Naa man sad jud siguro instances nga persons you have just seen, run into or met kay interesting or even inspiring not because of how they look but how they acted or behaved. Like for example there's this person who you saw spontaneously treating a couple of street kids to Jollibee or someone helping out a victim of a snatching incident... It's too nice a gesture man gud pero uwaw idu-ol and say, "Uy salamat ha. Nindot kaayo imo gibuhat. Unta daghan pa pareha nimo..."

So nindot unta nga maka shout-out lang ka, hiding behind your Istorya name, to appreciate them.


Another example:

"To this girl of so and so university (kay nag uniform man) who assisted me kanina mga alas tres sa may taxi lane sa SM. Ako tong na slide kanina nga imong gitabangan. Salamat jud kaayo! Naulaw nalang jud ko kanina kay perte jud nakong pagkahapla nga nakalimot ko ug pasalamat. Samot ko naulaw kay gwapa ka."

Sorry, I'm not too good at providing examples.
