Tap on the shoulder...it was just that.

I remember that day very clearly, it was the day before I had to go back home to US. I had finally convinced myself to go on a date after I had perform an exorcism on myself ( only kidding of course). I did not want to meet another guy, nor did I like dates, and I despised phones ( even worse is texting { he might be wishing I still feel the same way about phones ha!} ) . I managed, or my childhood friend did, finally told me to just go for it. I took her advice and said to myself " What have I got to loose?". 

Normally I would not even dress up for something I wasn't really into, but it was my last day in the philippines so I put on a very casual black jumper and my BCBG open toed heels. As I head down the stairs, I start to have flashbacks of my past relationships and for a second I almost didn't go on the blind date...Although I thought it would be rather rude to cancel now. So I dragged myself to the mall to meet up with this blind date. I rushed to Starbucks because that's where we arranged our meeting place to be. Maybe if i wasn't dragging I wouldn't have been late, I did warn the guy that I am not a stickler when it came to time.  As I stood there waiting for my blind date, three ladies walked up and looked at me. I wasn't sure if they were going to rob me, but to my surprise they thought I was a movie star ( from Philippines, which is where I was at that time, yeah ok ha!). Then minutes had passed, I felt a tap on my shoulder.............

That tap on my shoulder changed me in ways that I can't ever imagine. The way I view life, the way I think of things, and all the positive energies suddenly had entered. I had never been completely me to some people, in fear of loosing myself and I'm not one to loose control.  I thank god everyday for this person and regardless the fact that I am open about how he inspired me, other parts will remain private...

I dedicate my collection to that tap of the shoulder guy...thank you BOY for everything. 

( Sorry no specifics nor will I ever say the name. The person is quite private)
