we ate dinner in burger king tonight, and here's something interesting that happened to me.
the cashier was gay (or to be more politically correct, homosexual) and his/her/its name was AJ. (yeah, as in the backstreet boys AJ. but definitely the two are very far away.) anyway, over the course of the meal i went on to refill our cups (you gotta love burger king's refill feature. i mean, it's very rare in the philippines, while it's very common in the U.S.). dialogue goes as so:
me: "sir, parefill nga po. yung isa apple, yung isa rootbeer." (of course i had to call him/her/it "sir" because as it stands, he is a guy after all)
aj: "yung isa apple, isa rootbeer? okay." *goes over to the drinks machine and sets, and while he waits for the drinks to fill...*
aj: "saan ka nag-aaral?"
me: *nods, not understanding it the first time*
aj: "saan ka nag-aaral?"
me: *pause* "sa zobel." *gets drinks and walks away*
look, if i didn't know any better, i'd say that aj was trying to get to know me more. at least i was able to cut off the conversation at that.
