One overcast morning, I stood across the wall from where the mirror stood. Looking at the guy reflected on its surface, I asked him do I look gwapo. With a face looking like it just came from the battlefield - shabby hair, oily skin, and with gaundy eyes making pa-kyut in front of the mirror, The man obviously didn't speak. Instead, he just stared back without saying a word. Disappointed, I went back to my room and cam-whored using my phone until I was satisfied with the photos I took.

On some rare ocassions, the guy in the mirror do acknowledge my presence. Just like this night, while mom was glued on her favorite Kapamilya teleserye I stood across the wall to ask again the age-old question.
"Do I look good?" I inquired. No word came back.
Just when I was about to leave, I heard a voice speaking. Finally, the elusive self granted me an audience.
"I find your broad shoulders hot, and so is your new haircut." He said. In my head, of course.
"Now stop bugging me. It's not so you to ask this silly question."
I left the spot, happy with the mirror's reply.
