Bus trips
It was 7:15.I was on my way to school, in a danfo,when I was shocked by the conductor's greeting.He greeted me and called me sister.Surprised,I turned to him and greeted him, just as politely.
A male passenger kept eyeing me from the side of his eye.Hmm,na you sabi o!I said in my mind.
As a female passenger barely hid her admiration of my clothing,I speculated that there was something going on.It's not everyday I'm admired.
I got down from the bus, and a few guys gawked at me.They complimented me.I was now sure that there was a conspiration going on somewhere and I was the last one to know about it.
A man offered me a ride in his car,which I politely declined despite his pleas. I smiled as I walked away from him and his car.Ah ha!I now figured what was going on!
I was well dressed.To the T!You should have seen me.White blouse,navy blue skirt,jacket and fancy sandals.
You see,I won't have gotten compliments if I wore my usual shirt and jeans!
"How you dress is how you will be addressed."My Mom continually says to me."You can't dress like a masquerade and expect that people will take you seriously!"
That's true my sister will always complain about the way I walk on the road and when I made an effort. I could feel a different vibe she isn't shy to take walks with me.
