"My Heart Is Drenched In Wine"

When my aunt, one of the head honchos in Adidas, asked me about “this guy I was dating” a few months ago, the Adidas slogan hit me.

“He’s so impossible Tita,” I started. “And he is nothing to me.”

At that moment, in the middle of the Adidas lobby in Robinsons Equitable Tower, my Tita’s entourage looked at me strangely before they laughed all the way back to their cubicles.

But now that I’ve finally made up my mind, the Adidas slogan told me a different story.

To quote Charlie, “Impossible is Nothing, and when you’re in love, Just Do It.” I should have seen that coming. The jerk likes Nike.

I was, figuratively, chasing time...in a mini skirt, a pair of high heels, and newly chopped bangs.

I’ve started writing the blog for Matt, and boy, what a trip down memory lane it was. Sometimes, when Sir P and Sir San-Yo were out of sight, I’d write during work hours. When I get home, I’d skip dinner and write till 4AM.

I’ve never felt more prolific before. Or stronger.

For the first time, I opened a bottle of wine all by myself. With my bare hands. Not that I’ve become a masochist. It’s just that I broke our ancient corkscrew two years ago. I kept twisting and twisting the cork out of the bottle. It took me ten minutes to get the blasted wine open. I poured myself a glass and settled in front of the laptop with a plate of antipasti.

For a moment there, I thought of Sam and how we used to sip wine in his small balcony overlooking the Ateneo campus.

It was brief. I focused on the task at hand and blogged till 4AM.

  31. Reminiscing the sweet moments with the wine, It's a nice story. I can't open a wine bottle with corkscrew until now I guess I need a man to do that for me most of the time.

  9. Wow! So Ms. Dee, Veronica is a real person, it's just that she's using Veronica as a code name and she's blogging her life? I thought this was a fictional blog just like in www.cosmopolitan.com. I'm so amazed!

  1. oh my... i hope when you blog, you'll use code names.. you know so as not to reveal the real identity of your subject. kind of dyahe if s friend of your blog subject read about your blog.. wala lang, or maybe it's just me.. anyhow, the thing about slogan is really funny. that's life's many surprises =)
