The Perfect Man

Of course the perfect man is Jesus Himself.
The perfect man for me is Nate--what a match made in heaven!
But there are times when a girl just needs to go see a chick flick with her girlfriends. The movie we went to see was called, "The Perfect Man."

I saw the poster in the mall one day and had to see the movie starring one of my favorite actresses, Hilary Duff. Nate was certain he was not going to be the one with me on that date, so I invited my friend Rachel.

Rachel called the theater on Tuesday and found out it was showing at 5:20. So on Wednesday we got in a taxi and headed to SM mall. When we got to the mall and went up the escalator our jaws dropped to find that they were no longer showing the film! (Movies here may last only one week in theaters! Hurry!) Of course the people at the booth do not have info about the other theaters, so we booked it down the escalator to catch another taxi.

"To NCCC mall!" we said to the driver. We tried to explain how we just wanted to go past the mall to see the sign about what movies were playing, but the language barrier caused us to just sit back and wait 'til we got to the mall. NCCC mall was not playing "The Perfect Man" either!

"Excuse me," we said slowly to the driver, "we're looking for a movie and it is not here. Can you please drive to Gaisano mall instead?" Our third mall in one night hoping to catch the flick in time.

With no luck, Gaisano mall had taken their poster down that same day also. So we asked the driver again, "You're not going to believe this, but can you go to JS mall? We're looking for a certain movie."

The driver thought to ask, "What are you looking for?"

Rachel began to answer, "We're looking for...." she had to giggle realizing what it sounded like to the driver, "Actually, we're looking for the perfect man!"

If we had been in America, the driver would have joked, "Well, ladies, go no further, you have stepped into the right cab!" but our professional Filipino driver cracked no smile and took us to JS mall, the fourth try.

We had to laugh, thinking about making a taxi driver take us all over the city to find "The Perfect Man" but we never did find what we were looking for. Over coffee, plan "E", Rachel and I discussed many things, but I was happy one of the topics was all about Nate, My Perfect Man!
