Bibe

Bibe is a fine tall lady all 5'10" of her. At first glance she will make me look shorter what with ladies' legs being longer than men's. I will always have to remind her how taller I am(barely) and I will gamely oblige how we would go and see our reflections on the wall panes of the establishments, in the mall, just to settle the issue of who's taller whenever she will deliberately try to forget. That's classic Bibe always trying to one up me. And I am all the more silly by even trying to disprove her notwithstanding it was just a joke. She often messes with me knowing I would always fall for it like a moth to a lamp. Once it is settled she would concede and say "oo nga" but not without flashing her toothy grin and her eyes taking the shape of mere crescent lines. At the back of her head she must be thinking " kulit talaga nito".

Bibe is adorable as adorable can be. Bibe is expressive but not to fault. Bibe knows how sensitive my tickle bones are and she would dart em with her index finger any chance she could, without warning, so I've to always be on guard :>! She likes her nephew and she would playfully attack my tickle bones much like how she would manhandle her nephew with Sweet Chin Music and DDTs and Suplexes(not really but her own awkward version).

We share our common love for food by going on food trips. We would try one resto and then another but never sticking to any particular one.

My cousin had me introduced to Bibe at a time when she was still with her ex. My cousin tried fixing us two not knowing she was already with somebody. I sarcastically tell my cousin how she has a real knack for raising false hopes inasfar as pairing me with her friends is concerned. Took a whole 21 mos since my cousin's boo boo before I got to actually see Bibe in person. It was during my cousin's wedding. I've just gone back from China so I wasn't able to meet Bibe beforehand. My cousin planned to have us two meet before her wedding on a set date where she was supposed to gather all her friends, somewhere in Manila, to hand out the wedding invites. Bibe would be there so should I she said.


A few days after my trip to China my cousin's wedding came. I was part of the entourage as I've always been on several weddings before. I like going to weddings cause I get to see pretty ladies dressed in formal wear be it the entourage or just plain guests. But this wedding was different in that I was looking forward to see Bibe inasmuch as I was there to support my cousin. My eagerness and anticipation was halved/shared by these two very fine ladies. I remember us arriving at the church in the nick of time. Me being Mr. Late , I bought my pants the day of the wedding. I wasnt able to fix myself in the entourage's dressing room(wherever that was) so outside the church parking area I found me a place to wear my undershirt and barong. Sandwiched between a car and a van I took off my polo and hurriedly fixed myself while the rest of the people were gathered at the church entrance.

That was quick, nobody saw me, I was the next mentos commercial model until a lady wearing a spaghetti strapped dress took out something at the back of one of the cars just behind me. Well, that was nice. I'd still be the next mentos model(The lady turned out to be Bibe).....
