THE CASE OF THE

LUNATIC BEAUTY VERSUS COMPLICATED DUDE
MALL SNOBBING INCIDENT


LAST PLEAS OF COMPLICATED DUDE


Complicated Dude started his plea with this quote:

"Friends are the family you choose."

"It is to my greatest regret that the so-called snobbing incident had to happen. I never intended to snob Lunatic Beauty. If failing to recognize your friend's profile in a mall is a crime, then I'm willing to be condemned.

We've gone through a lot, Beauty and I. We're friends way before I am Complicated Dude. In short, a nobody.

He was there when I was jobless and without a single cent to my name. Chaperoning me to those interviews, waiting for forever outside the lobby while I bargain for the best salary. He was the one who walked all the way from Buendia to Makati Central PO just to buy the stamp required by one of the company I applied to. He was the one who had to wake up at five in the morning just so we could arrive on time to the Commission on Audit in Fairview - only for us to literally walk pass COA premises because I suddenly got cold feet. He was the one who would walk with me from buildings to buildings, sacrificing his classes just so that I can come to my interviews with an aid.

We had shared countless laughs during my job-hunting days. We would make fun of those 'corporate' people at Ayala - branding them and giving them pathetic names (of course, without them knowing) as 'great pretenders', 'filthy crawling urbanized earthlings', 'stage actors in the worst play ever which is the corporate jungle', etc.

News flash, Beauty! You're bestfriend is now one of them. And to some extent, worse than most of them. The corporate world had corrupted your bestfriend's once innocent, carefree and childlike self and turned him into a monster.

I can't blame you if you say I had changed. Maybe I really had.

I changed the way I look. I changed to way I speak. I even changed the way I rationalize things. Applying my now jaded perception of things to life, dealing with relationship, and friendship.

I really hope I can be the same Complicated Dude who would laugh his heart out at your corniest joke, who would talk to you about life, love and everything in between till the wee hours of the morning and who would always be there for you on short short notice.

I never ever will ignore you. I am your bestfriend and I am here to stay. Even if you push me away.

I rest my case. "

THE VERDICT

In the name of friendship, blogs and shopping, the case was heard against Complicated Dude in a blog session that lasted for three parts.

It was established that:

1. Complicated Dude pleaded not guilty of the crime;
2. Complicated Dude had presented a witness, Ulan, to his defense;
3. Lunatic Beauty failed to present himself to court and produced no witness; and
4. The replacement watch is really fab (and cheap)!

The blogging court had established that the accused, Complicated Dude, is not guilty beyond reasonable doubt. All evidence, circumstancial and otherwise, supports this decision. The decision is now final.
