Ramblings

Belated Bday Post

well well well, how i managed to accomodate 3 dinner invites in one day is something even i shall never understand. Call it divine providence, compassionate destiny or just good luck, the youngest son of one of my prospective hosts developed a fever, and though an unfortunate occurence in itself, i admit that in this instance i found myself grateful instead of sympathetic, for it struck one invite off the list. And by having dinner once at 7 and then again at 9:30, i was able to satisfy the other two inviters. And then i heaved a sigh a relief that i had managed not to insult anyone's gracious, if rather ill-timed for me, invitation.

Valentine's day is rather unkind to single people. And my single status is a thorn that has made its prick felt every V-day since i was 15, for while couples go canoodling, we singles are left to feel like old maids, no matter our age. It is not roses and candy and candlelit dinners that i aspire for, merely the feeling that someone found me important enough to give me this time.

Well, my b'day was a couple of days ago (22nd), an event of some sorrow as it marked the beginning of the last year of my teens. And yet, an event of some joy as, at least for a day, I was queen. And yet again, some sorrow, for the sting of my single status is brought home again, and "19 and single" doesn't sound all that great these days.

I have been a very irresponsible, whimsical and even capricious blogger, posting when i had an irrestible urge to do so, or, i shamefacedly admit, when i had nothing better to do. But I promise to rectify this, and in the same breath i add, promises are meant to be broken.
See u soon.... maybe!!!! ;)
