It was just small talk in the washroom, of all places. I didn’t even know her. I just know she also works in same company as I do because of her ID. I just had this urge to open up my mouth and say something. She was playing this song by Sponge Cola– "Tuliro", which happened to be my fave song in their Transit album. I would have ignored that but the song was in repeat mode. I couldn’t help but sing along. We were in front of this huge mirror. She was brushing her teeth and I was combing my hair.

"Excuse me, you like Sponge Cola huh?", I asked. I just had to. I can’t help it. She smiled and said yes. "Let me guess, your fave’s Yael, right?", I asked again. Big mouth, I know. She laughed. I knew I was right. "I like them too. Have you watched any of their gigs?", I asked again just to keep the conversation going. She said she did once in Cavite. "They’re big in Cavite", she said. People just clamor for them. I bet. Haha! I then learned her name, where she works, where she’s from and who our common acquaintances are. I told her it would be great to watch the band perform live again. She said she’s a bit scared because it’s her first time to work outside Cavite and she might get lost. I told her she’ll get used to it. She might wanna try it some time. It’s fun. Hopefully there’s gonna be a gig somewhere near Makati soon. *hint*hint*

"Are they married?", she asked. I was taken off-guard but I kept my cool and just laughed out loud. I wouldn’t wonder why she asked this. I told her they’re not but I enumerated the members who are already "taken". I told her they’re young and talented (obviously). Next question she asked was "Mababait ba sila?". Of course! I continued blabbing again and she was smiling all the time. I told her they will be releasing their next single soon and I even let her listen to it from my phone.

We were there, just the two of us with a common topic in mind. She would have wanted to stay longer to chat but she had to go back to work and I had to meet some friends. I know we’ll meet again one of these days. It’s just a small world. =)
