When I was 14 (yes, 14!), my Dad told me that if I liked a boy, I should wink at said boy to show my feelings.
If I had followed this advice, I can just imagine scores of guys (Yes, I was a precocious teen, I had a multitude of crushes*) who will forever harbor the image of me winking at them. Or the countless strangers who will have a vague memory of some weirdo girl who had a tic and leered at them. Twehehe.
Anyway, I never did follow my dad's advice.
But here I am, my dad just asked me when was the last time I went out on a date, and I didn't have a ready answer. Because I haven't kept track of the last time I went out on a date. And unfortunately the last one was so long ago it requires an actual counting of years. :(( Boohoo.
I've followed my mom's advice that "hindi pinapakasalan ang kati". But since I'm dateless and significant-other-less, I'm beginning to seriously consider following my dad's advice. So if you see me winking...
