“I need to be really honest with you,” said a friend to me seriously one night over dinner.
I’m keeping him anonymous obviously.
“What…” i slowly said back.
Omg. What could it be?
Can’t be that bad right
I haven’t been fucking up in any way.

“People have been bitching about you…”
“Oh… that. Cheh, that’s normal, i just learn how to ignore it.”
“Yeah i know, it’s all nonsense, but i just think you need to know.”

“I know what you mean!”
“Yeah, but even then, you have the same face cos you’re trying to keep it up.”
“Dude. I kena caught out damn a lot of times okay. Cos my acting damn fail.”
“Come, i show you.”
So he showed me the different expressions to go with the lines EVERYONE in media/entertainment/production/any industry that requires one to meet many ppl; give
“Hey! How are you!” (read: I have no idea who the fuck you are.)
