Very Antonio
You must read the blog very canadian before reading this.
Because of the famous line Very Canadian in our office I started to use the line very antonio to mock a friend. For the two of us very canadian = very antonio.
That statement is not actually true, he is the contrary of ungentleman.
I’ve met this new friend 3 months ago. We almost have the same situation in life: single with gf/bf on another part of the world, moved from home country to geneva, living alone and dying for some company.
There are just friends who easily clicked and the day i went out with him, i instantly knew we were destined to be friends.
We sit across each other in the office and the place seems so boring when he is not there. We usually exchange weird glances that I think is freaking out some of our office mates, we will whispher to each other at the middle of working hours only to exchange gossips, we throw candies at each other to grab the other’s immediate attention. These are just some of the weird things we do in the office.
Our life together goes beyond office hours. We usually eat dinner together during our free nights. We sometimes meet after my yoga or his French class in Moevenpick to grab some ice cream or eat dinner. He was there when I just needed to whine about how much I miss home and archie or just wanted somebody to be there. I don’t know why but I feel closer to him compared to my other friends.
I was feeling so bad a while ago but remembering what he recently told me over the phone made me feel so good….
Phone Conversation:
Me: why were you so upset?
Antonio - you should have seen your face during lunch
Me - why?
Antonio - you look so bored, so not there
Me - i just don’t want to talk, i have nothing to say or maybe i just got tired of hearing myself whine all the time.
Me - so is that why you are upset?
Antonio - I felt that I wasn’t so interesting for you anymore, I can’t make you laugh anymore. I bored you.
Isn’t it nice to know that somebody is upset because they can’t make you happy?!
