I met him two weeks ago. This year, I told myself that I'd be choosier in agreeing to go out and he was actually date # 1 for 2012. He didn't know this.
So there I was, not really dressed up but wearing killer heels that I was loving simply because it was 6 inches and had heels that could kill a vampire heart and it didn't fail me the entire day. It was comfy and I could walk without falling flat on my face. I was rockin' it.
A few minutes after the time we agreed to meet, I was walking along Valero. I was feeling confident that it would be a great night when the world dropped and I saw the pavement coming fast and furious. BAM! I had fallen.
Yep ... the heels of my shoe failed me and I fell face first. It was a good thing that my face did not kiss the ground but my knee received the brunt of my entire weight. Huhuhuhu. I was teary eyed. Still, date was waiting and so I picked up myself and my pride and dusted off the pain and the dirt.
When I saw him, I wasn't initially impressed. He looked like Vic Sotto and I didn't really get his charm. However, he was a true gentleman because he did not get mad that I was late and he laughed off the absurdness of the situation when we were walking towards where he parked his car. You see, he parked it in the area where the road was not smooth but full of gravel and rocks that are the worst enemies of shoes like mine. What happened then was a scene worthy of a romantic comedy.
There we were, walking in Makati, him looking dapper and I trying hard to save my wounded pride by ensuring that I do not fall flat again and add more pain to my throbbing knee. The funny / embarrassing part was that while we were walking, I was holding on to his arms for dear life. Yes, I was "clinging" to him. No, to say clinging is an understatement. I was like a tarsier (imagine a giant one) holding on to a tree (he's the branch.)
To save face, I cracked jokes. I was so happy that my mind was running at 180m/hour at that moment. I told him he could actually update his facebook status and say that he was such a hottie that on the first date, I fell for him (referring to the incident of me falling flat on my face on my way to our date) even before I saw him or that he was such a charmer that within 5 minutes, he had me holding on to him for dear life. Thankfully, he laughed and that set the tone for our date.
Date happened at Johnny Chow. We talked about our lives, our situations and got to know a bit more. I was nervous actually. For all my bravado on dates, I am almost always nervous when I'm with someone who is actually decent, smart, and funny which he was.
Afterwards, we went around looking for Serenitea. I informed him of my addiction to milk tea and he indulged me.
We hanged out and chatted some more. I asked him to take a photo of me and then I asked him if it was okay to take a photo of us. By this time, we'd been wreaking havoc to the other customers because we were just laughing out loud withe the crazy stories we were sharing. After taking this photo, all hell broke loose. Even he laughed out loud.
See? It's funny right? This was a semi candid shot and up to this day, 2 weeks later, I can't decide if its funny or scary. Hahahahaha.
Afterwards, he took me home. Yes, he's a gentleman. I liked that actually. Overall, this is one of the nicest dates I've had in a long time. No off moments, no "what was I thinking going out with this guy" moment, and definitely no "touch me and I'll kill you" moments.
Would I go out with him again? Yep. In fact, we had date # 2 already and yes, I had lots of fun as well. I can say that I would like to get to know him more. Still, it is all and will always be God's will.
:D
ReplyDeletewahh! love the killer heels but me no likey the falling part! :D Di bale sis, the date turned out good naman. happy for you! :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't know yet. As I said, I'd like to get to know him more :)
Deletethat's why i love flat shoes, mas safe. =) but it looks like you had a blast inpite of bloopers.
ReplyDeletewe did ... welll, I think we did hahahaha ... hirap maging babae no? you need to second guess lagi. toink.
DeleteWow, getting to know stage na kayo Ms. Kathy. Have fun and enjoy your moments with the funny man. :)
ReplyDeleteAng tanong, may moments pa ba na mangyayari? Hahahaha.
DeleteDating is very basic for growing up. It is a social activity of any age I should say to get know a person. Dating is like fishing if you're looking for a partner in life. If your "bait" adheres to his/her "taste" there you are compatible each other.
ReplyDeletei like the 'i fell for u even before i saw u', nice joke on ur dapa moment...gudluck on ur getting to know phase!
ReplyDeletethanks! :)
Deleteduring my younger days, i love to wear high heels together with mini skirts ahaha
ReplyDeletenice dating,yes i agree know him more and keep us posted huh :)
If there will be more, why not diba? He's okay with being blogged which is good kasi it means he has nothing to hide diba?
DeleteOuch with falling.. >.< Pero it's nice that your first and second date turned good.. :) If everything goes well, we might be reading about him on V-day? ;)
ReplyDeleteI think he will be in Davao on that day. I don't wanna hope or expect. Too soon since date # 2 pa lang naman. It would be nice but mahirap umasa.
DeleteHappy for you. Hope this continues to go well between you two. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't want to expect. Don't want to be hurt e. Lets see
DeleteI had fun reading thanks! That's so funny! Hehe.. Bad it's a good thing nothing worst happened. You had a great date that's nice! The last one I had is like more than a year.., hehe ;-)) Goodluck on your next date! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure yet if there will be one. He's pretty busy.
DeleteAt last! Balik kulayful ulit ang life.
ReplyDeleteDespite the falling part, that was still so cute of you and your story Kathy. Para lang akong nagbasa ng pocketbook. Hehe...
Hahahaha ... parang inaabangan mo mga ganitong post ko ah haha ... thanks thanks
DeleteI'm sure you guys had lots of fun and goodluck to both of you... ;)
ReplyDeleteHe is indeed funny...and I like both of your reactions...
ReplyDeleteouch. the falling part is the killer one. Good thing you were not in front of him when it happened :( .. And I am happy to hear that the date went well naman.. :P
ReplyDeleteay oo ... di ko alam if I can recover if I fell in front of him ... baka maglupasay ako haha
DeleteThat's why I NEVER wear heels. I want to be comfortable when walking around. Of course I also don't get to look as glamorous as you, but then I don't go out on dates anyway hahaha
ReplyDeleteI look glam ba? Daya lang yan. Thanks!
DeleteYour post cracked me up. LOL. You're a funny lady. And great to know that you'll have date 2 with the gentleman.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, don't feel about your heel mishap. It happens.
I'm glad you had fun reading it. And yes, I'm going to believe that I am not the only fool to have fallen flat on my face because of killer heels.
DeleteWow naman arang Korean love story yan ah. I it was a movie the thitle would be "Fallen" Just Before we Meet! Ayyeeee!
ReplyDeleteRegards, Edmar @ EDMARATION
Bwahahahahaha! Natawa naman ako ... Korean talaga ha?
Deleteheel mishap..dedma lang...it happens to everyone..ako nga sa intercon pa...at sa hagdan joskow buti nalang I was with a group of friends:) kaya gora lang....
ReplyDeletewishing you the best of 2012!
thanks! sana I can have coffee or milk tea with you sometime! that would be a dream come true ... pag payat na ako tulad mo :)
DeleteWow I enjoy love stories. I have never had any romantic dates. I hope to have one in the future though.
ReplyDeleteSeryoso? I'm sure you will in time :)
DeleteHahaha you're a riot! That was a date straight out of a rom-com. If he looked like Vic Sotto, then it should be a big pogi point, right? Cuz Vic is still matinik sa chicks, just ask Pauleen Luna, hehehe.
ReplyDeletebwahahahaha! lafftrip talaga kasi ang date namin.
Deletewow nice meeting with your date, sana ngpabuhat ka nlng sa kanya papunta dun sa parking lot hehe, but he looks nice and kind, I hope to see another date of you with him again
ReplyDeleteyou and me both ...

ReplyDeletegood luck and keep us posted. ;)

ReplyDeletei often fall - anywhere and guys but i finally found the one! :) i enjoy reading your story kasi im one of the hopeless romantics...looking forward of more dates for a more stories to share here. V-day coming up!wootwew!:)
ReplyDeletenaku, I don't know about that ... baka may iba syang date sa Vday. He hasn't said anything and mahirap umasa.
Deletenice comparison, vic sotto... good luck sa date. Yahweh bless.
ReplyDeletethat is why I am not a fan of high heels ,dapain ako at tapilukin.Nice naman gn photos nyo .it is somewhat a cross between funny and scary. Whne I was single ,I love to date with guys mostly foreigners.date ,choose and select .pag type nyo isat isa may 2nd date pag walang impact ,good bye and find anotehr date ulit until finally mam eet ang love of our life.
ReplyDeleteWell, date # 3 has been set, yun nga lang, when he comes back from a business trip pa.
Deletehahaha... let the love begin? parang vote na me sa kanya! lol!
ReplyDeletehahahahaha! naloka ako. as in natawa ako ng malakas dito kasi tumugtog sa isip ko yung song.
DeleteThat's what we called MATCH..your personalities match, that's why there is no dull moments..I think you found THE ONE..but too early to decide though...
ReplyDeleteway too early pa ... get to know muna :) though I kinda have a good feeling so thats a pretty good sign diba?
DeleteHehe. This is interesting. I wonder how things will turn out for both of you. But this is good. It seems that you're enjoying the company of each other.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how it turns out. Hope for the best but expect nothing.
