My perfect pair of glasses hihi ... I finally found it ;-)
Referring to the metaphor my friend quoted from a J-Dorama she is watching, Taxi vs True Love, I can also say that finding your true love is like finding a well-fitted pair of glasses. I have also written my comparison between true love and jacket before, here. See, I have a tendency to compare everything with love quest, a pathetic romantic of me.
Like my friend said, to find a true love, wait for a taxi, or search for an ideal pair of glasses, you need to be in the right place. I found my glasses in an old optical shop called J Boellard at Cikini, to which my doctor referred as an "accurate" glass-maker (is there a specific term for this?). She specifically warned me not to try Mangdu*, which I couldn't agree more, since I've wasted 5 pairs of Mangdu's glasses before (I used to be a Mangdu enthusiast;-p). Moral of the story is, don't try to find a prospective love in Mangdu hehehe, jk.
In any case, you need to assess first the type of stuffs, or men (now I sound like a desperate man-hunter or what;-p), you like to find, and then search for them in appropriate places. For my glasses, I didn't have any clue what type of glasses would be suitable to my face, so I just tried all that I found interesting in the shop, considering anything there would be technically viable. Now, unfortunately I can't do that with men, can I? But at least now I know I should stop hoping for an accidental meet-cute** in my daily angkot and mikrolet*** trips, hihihi ;-)
Apologize for too many stars:
* Shortened from "Mangga Dua", it's a famous shopping center, in which you can find anything at bargained price
** A term I found in "Holiday" the movie, for which you can find the meaning here
*** A share taxi similar to jeepney in the Philippines, but not that iconic
