Today I approached a HB9, brunette, singer, guitar player. One of those who sing in the bus for the tips. I asked her for the buses to go to place X. Her answer was longer than usual, so I followed by asking about how many hours she works and telling about a friend of mine who used to sing in the bus to avoid paying the ticket from and to the suburbs. I made a joke about having to tip her now, despite being a cheap bastard. She teased back: "Yeah, that's why I am helping you". When my bus came the driver didn't let her in because it was full, so I had to leave. But then I saw she was using jika tabis (ninja shoes) and I quickly asked where did she got those, because I needed the same for my jujitsu training. She was vague so I asked her to text me the name of the place where she got them (I had a foot in the bus by then). When she replied "how?", I tried to tell her my cell number. But she laughed and so did other two girls at the bus stop. So she told me to go ask at a nearby shop where they sell cheap shoes.

Well, I thought it went kind of fine (given the time constraints), but the embarrassment stroke me about half hour later. I started feeling moody and screaming to everyone.
