It used to be that people came to see me; people were excited to meet the girl behind this website. They were the ones who used to go out of their way to have lunch or dinner with me (and for the unfortunate ones, they had to drive me home to San Mateo, Rizal after having lunch or dinner!).
Fast forward to one and a half years later, I'm now one of those who has to re-arrange my schedule so that I can meet someone who is in town before he/she flies back to the U.S. or Canada.
Last night was Ayeza's last night in Manila. After a last-minute text from Tet, I hailed a cab to go to Greenbelt, hoping that I would get there in time before all the plates were put away. Thank God it was not Friday and traffic did not hinder my chances of participating in some quality girl talk.
Usually, when I meet up with my fellow bloggers, it's a one-on-one event (Hey, we're supposed to be introverts afterall! Oo, introvert ako! Maniwala na kayo, please! HaHa!). Group EBs are a rare thing for me. I think dalawang group EBs palang ata ang napupuntahan ko in the span of *ahem nine years of blogging (Crap, ang tagal na pala!). Last night, there were five of us. Being all girls, we didn't have to be mindful of the topics that we talked about. Siyempre, lovelife ang topic na mas matagal na pinagusapan! And they even have a code name for the neverending search for my Mr. Right: Mission Possible. O, di ba?
Indeed, good company + good food = good time. Hooray for pasta and dulce de leche cheesecakes!
This night made me want to go back to reading websites of new people. I've been quite content with reading only my usual circle's for years now, but I think it's now time to expand my horizons. Please let me know if you have a website to share. :)
CODE: Mission Impossible!!!

Dearest, kapag balyena ako kapag nakita mo ako ulit, ikaw ang salarin ha: darn you for giving us those truffles! HeHe!
ReplyDeleteHi Mina. Belated Happy New Year. I've always enjoyed reading your blog, especially your adventures in RP and Seattle. My wife and I were in the Philippines in November, mostly in Manila but also a few days in Davao to visit my mother-in-law.
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by to say hello. Feel free to drop by my blog. It's not the most exciting thing, but it's home for me.
I second you on the dulce de leche cheesecake! Haha!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the update on Mission: Possible??
What? We're not good enough for you anymore? (^_^)
ReplyDeleteAya: Parang Mission:Possible started and died that night; No word about it since then. HaHa!
ReplyDeleteRick: HaHa! Let's face it, we're all living the same boring life. ;P
