Conversations and Explanations: The "Wushuuu Bola" Line
Guys, girls, feel free to disagree. Hahaha. But personally this is my explanation for the "wushuu... bola" line girls (like me) usually give.
------
akosimic: uy i have a question
hunichi: yes?
akosimic: if a guy compliments you...as in would praise something about you, would you think of it as bola or something just really sincere?
akosimic: i mean how would you distinguish nambobola from being sincere and honest about it?
hunichi: as a girl
hunichi: my first response would always be "wushuuu... bola", regardless of whether or not I felt the guy was honest and sincere. Rare yung diretsong "aww, thank you."
akosimic: and so i noticed
hunichi: kapag feel kong nangbobola ka talaga
hunichi: as in bolero ka lang
hunichi: hmmm
hunichi: magtataray ako
hunichi: pero kung either kinikilig ako
hunichi: secretly na binobola mo ako
hunichi: or naniniwala naman ako na sincere ka
hunichi: pabiro yung pagsabi ko ng "wushuuu... bola"
akosimic: hmmm
hunichi: kapag di ako naniniwala, at madalas ka mangbola... ang sagot ko, yamot ang dating: "yan ka nanaman eh. ano ka ba nangbobola ka nanaman. di uubra sakin yan"
hunichi: want to know the logic behind why we do that?
akosimic: uh yeah
hunichi: kasi sometimes we know guys just tell us what we want to hear
hunichi: so even if we believe it initially, we just want to make sure that you really mean it.
akosimic: hmmm
hunichi: else, baka isipin niyo feeling kami or naive for automatically assuming what you said was true
hunichi: so, we have an exit strategy "wushu bola"
hunichi: so kung babawiin niyo bigla ang compliment niyo (which some guys do, in a pa-joke manner)
hunichi: safe kami, kasi sinabi namin yung wushuu bola line. Madali nang sabihing "sabi ko na nga ba, nangbobola ka nanaman e!"
hunichi: Cue yun for guys who really mean what they say to reiterate and reassert the truth of their statement.
hunichi: pag sinabi naming wushuuu bola, ang sagot niyo dapat "hindi nga, totoo!"
hunichi: tapos, masaya na kami nun. Maski hindi man namin ipahalata.
hunichi: wag kang mapagod sa kakasabi ng "hindi nga, totoo!" kasi hindi kami titigil sa pagsabi ng "wushuu bola".
hunichi: :p
