I like dressing up. What can I say? Im a girl. And I definitely dress to impress. Its not that I want people around me to keep staring at me. I just want to be nice to look at. And I also want to look respectable enough that people would really care to stop and listen to me and look at me when I talk. In short, I want them to pay attention. Thats not to say I want attention all the time. I just want attention when it counts. Anyway, just a few minutes ago, I entered the elevator with the intent of going out of the office to get myself a cup of coffee. Somebody yelled down so being the good citizen that I am, I naturally pressed the open button to wait up for the guy. Now, normally I would feel flattered when a guy looks at me twice. But I definitely did not want a guy to keep looking me up all the way to the ground floor. Thats just disgustingly rude and very irksome. So I ended up staring at the numbers and waiting for the light to turn to G, indicating ground floor. While paying for my coffee, the guy in front of me in line glanced my way as he was moving to the side. He smiled a little. I just looked at him, probably with a dumb expression. I know he was just being a nice human being. Normally, I would smile back because thats what nice human beings do. They return a simple smile from a stranger. A stranger who isnt weird or freaky. But I was still irritated by that whole scene at the elevator. Thats when I started to think that maybe I should have called the guy out for eyeing me that way. It was very rude. And I did not like being ogled like a piece of meat. It was very, very insulting to the whole population of women to be a subject of that kind of objectification. Then I got back in the office and started typing this very long status message. Youll notice Im pissed when I speak straight English. But at this point, I think I have calmed down a little. And I decided to just charge that little scene to experiences that will definitely make its way to my novels. At least when I write about it, Ill have more colorful description. Moral lesson: objectification also has a silver lining. Interpretation: isulat na yan sa nobela, LOL :D
