It’s a Monday and for the first time in history (or if my nicotine-coated brain serves me right) classes in elementary and secondary schools were suspended because of flood. Yes folks, you read it right, F-L-O-O-D! Lately I have noticed that Davao is starting to be like Manila everytime there’s a heavy downpour. I have fallen victim to this last week when my little blue baby swam in knee-high waters of Boulevard en route to SM! Water seeped into my car and I ended up spending a Ninoy to have my matting washed and vacuumed! Thanks to the very able and understanding guys at Petron (in between Jollibee and McDo) for understanding that what I went through was very traumatic indeed.


So, finally, I went to my first-ever, and hopefully not the last, blog party last Saturday at Toto’s Bar at the top floor of Casa Leticia. I must admit I was hesitant to go there because I’m really a virgin (!) when it comes to blogging, just 12-posts old and they might think low of me. I had to text Red if he really was coming. I arrived an hour late but the party has not started and it allowed some time for me to mingle with other bloggers (ice man, dulce negosyante, michelle, floraine, ria, blogie, migs, etc). Food was really delicious, I enjoyed the pastries specially the cheesecake, my sweet tooth really had its dose. :)

The party kicked-off with Migs as the emcee who did a fine job in making everyone feel welcome and throwing those witty one-liners. Prizes were raffled and I was the first to win a mouse. Thank you Migs for pronouncing my name wrong! hehehe Every blogger, when his/her name gets picked for a prize can promote/say something about his/her blog/s. So I introduced mine as random ramblings of a 20something single on her quest for true love. Yikes! Talk about wearing my heart on my sleeve! But this made everyone laugh and that night it felt great to brag that I do not have a stable relationship to brag about. hehehe thank you for encouraging me guys not to take the situation seriously and special mention to Ria for the encouragement to give things a shot and Cool Iceman for giving me the Wordpress shirt he had won that night - after he gets it from Blogie.

I must say things well for me that night, a great way to spend my Saturday minus the worry that I will be with a date that a I have nothing in common with. It was good clean fun as I told Mummy, my feet had their well-deserved rest (I wore flats last Saturday when I usually wear killer Stilettos on Saturdays). So to “Derek”, thank you for being at People’s Park that night (which is right across Casa Leticia) and for looking up at the top floor knowing that I am there. Yes I was there, and believe it or not, for the first time, I never thought of myself as Meredith Grey.

Baby steps but I will get there…
