why i like talking to strangers

simple. because talking to strangers is such a guilty pleasure...
why?
i have three reasons.
first, i learn new things.
second, talking to strangers opens up a whole new dimension to the word, discovery.
third, i like reading people. and strangers are sometimes good to analyze. to read perse.

earlier this day, before i posted this blog entry. i talked with a stranger, and he turned out to be a nurse... sort of a nurse. i was in the hospital and he talked to me... the conversation went like this...

Conversation with a random stranger. (Hospital)
Guy- uhm, miss may pen ka? Ako- wala po eh. Guy- ah sige thanks. 
After a few minutes.
Guy- may hinihintay kang pasyente? Ako- opo, yung father ko nandun po kay doc bautista, kayo po? Guy- wala, wala akong hinihintay. Ako- ahhh. (Silence) Guy- high school ka na? Ako-college na po. Guy- freshie? Ako- senior this coming sem. Guy- oh, really? Ako - opo. Guy- anong course mo? Ako- bse, biology po. Sa cavite state u. Guy- wow. Nakakatuwa ka naman. Ilang taon ka na? Ako- 18 po. Guy- akala ko minor pa kausap ko. (Sabay smile) Ako- nurse po kayo? Guy- sort of... (pumasok sa laboratory)

that was the first part of the conversation.when he went out from the laboratory we continued talking,  i can't actually remember the latter part cause we've talked  for more than 30 mins while i was waiting for my father.

he suggested, that i should work in that hospital, in the laboratory.
he asked for my name and i asked his. i made a new friend that i probably won't see again.
we talked about a lot of things particularly science. biology to be exact. it turns out that he himself is assigned in the laboratory. the one who processes the samples like urine and blood.

the only downside of talking to strangers... you are not sure if you are going to see and have the chance to talk to them again. oh well. nevermind. at least i have learned new things.


the only question running through my mind right now...
am i that approachable?
