Most memorable date

I'm trekking down my life's memory lane and I thought it would be nice to share this with the other members. Hopefully, y'all can find time to conjure fond memories of your own with that special person (past or present) and why that particular date/s are unforgettable. Here's my share:

It was Valentines day, year 2003. I had a boyfriend that time but we had a huge fight a day before V-day. I was still in college and he was already working. There's another guy I was crushing on for the longest time and he unexpectedly invited me out for a dinner date. I said yes to my crush (I was a spoiled, petty beyatch that time and I did it to spite the bf) and made plans with "crush".

Needless to say, "crush" had an elaborate v-day plan mapped out for us. He picked me up at home, handed me a bouquet of pink carnations (my favorite flower) and a box of expensive chocolates. I wasn't expecting those things because I thought he was just an ordinary guy and I was so used to fast food dates with my stingy bf. So, imagine my surprise when we ended up at an exclusive village for the ultra rich. He led me towards the basketball court and there was a table set up for two with a private ensemble for us.

Couldn't be more perfect. Candle lit dinner under the stars, a violinist and a cellist playing sweet music, shrimp salad, filet minion and peach cobbler pie. The conversation went well and finally, he asked me to dance. It was awkward and embarrassing! I didn't know squat about slow dancing, it was the hype of my clubbing days and my idea of a dance is the gyrating and wanton-ish dance I'd succumb to inside the clubs. Then he asked me if he could kiss me and I just closed my eyes and said 'ayt'. (I was too caught up in the moment to remember my bf). Shempre the kiss was overrated. Nakakadala kasi yung ambiance and the romanticized way of the whole thing. I thought I did a mighty fine job of justifying the kiss but then he asked me how would I rate his kiss. I was fazed so I gave him a 9 rating. Then he gave me a 6. Damn! My pride was wounded!

After dinner, he gave me a tour of the village. Then he took me to his house. It was big. Turned out, his family is loaded. Pero na-bad trip nako dahil sa 6 rating nya sa kiss ko. Okay na sana e. Pero it made me realize that what I did was wrong and I vowed not to cheat on my boyfriend or anyone, at any point in my relationship life.

That's the whole reason why that became my most memorable date. The lesson I learned was just priceless. And it was the catalyst for my faithfulness to whoever I commit myself to. I realized that the 6 rating came from the fact that we we're not crazily in love. It was just a fleeting moment, a moment that proved the fact that despite the perfectness of it all, if the person you're with is not the person your heart desires, it will always be a six. Tantamount to settling for less. And it's something that we all do not deserve. We have to have that 10, the combination and chemistry that will give us exactly what we need and would answer that elusive question of rightness.

Thanks for sharing. The 6 rating ruined everything? Do you think you would have a different opinion if he gave you a higher rating? I don't know, maybe he was trying to be honest (i.e. he's had better kisses?) but of course I understand if you were jolted by his rating. Not really a good way to flatter a woman (unless somehow it was in humor just to get a second kiss to see if the rating will be higher ).

Anyway it's good you said you learned something from this. Before I bitterly thought all you had to do was shower somebody with resources and they'd be unconditionally yours. After I took the time to observe, I found out it was not so.

I wouldn't know now, would I? The six rating was the make or break of that whole thing anyway. It was the unexpected bite of reality in a surreal set up.

And no, I just graciously smiled when he lounged for a second take. My upbringing wouldn't allow me to slap any guy just because I felt insulted. I'd like to think of me as a far flung Grace Kelly type of gal.

No Sir, there are women who are not and will never be impressed with money or anything else related to that. It's the efforts, the thoughts you poured into the things that you give us that makes us go "awwwww"....

Yes, I was thinking he said that on purpose just to get that second take. The scene reminds of a record playing music which suddenly stops with that "sound" hehe.

I know that know. Better keep my eyes open.

No, well actually there was one with my ex but I guess I could call it memorable because I still vividly remember it. Nothing fancy or anything.

Um, it was February 13 and I told her I didn't want to us join with the crowds on V-Day (which was a week day) so I told her we'd just celebrate on the weekend. So she said OK. I got flowers and went to her place of work and placed it on her desk and hid somewhere. When she eventually arrived she wondered where the flowers came from and I popped out. She wasn't expecting me to be there since she thought we'd celebrate on the weekend. So we dated before and right after V-Day. That's it.

memorable date..March 15, 2001. i dont celebrate my birthday. it was not even a special day for me. i just went to the school and go home. my usual routine. i dont even receive greetings from friends and my family kasi nga im not into that kind.

so that day came my ex( who was my girl way back) texted me are you free. so sabi ko after my last subject i'm going to practice soccer(since i was a varsity player before). she replied "ok. just see you at the field" i replied "ok". so after class i went home first since the practice was scheduled 5pm and my last class was 2pm. i took a short nap. i woke up at 4:38pm because of a text coming from a team mate "pre malalate ka ba? pinpatanong ni coach" i then started to wonder bakit naman ipapatanong ni coach eh hindi naman ako kasali sa starting line up. i just replied "yup baka malate ako." took a short bath. then off to the school. pagdating ko sa field they are already assembling sa dug out. so i rushed in pagdating ko sa dug out they all screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAINMAN" then my girl sang me a simple birthday song carrying a small cake with a candle lit.

i dont know but i was touched by the effort.

My one memorable date was way back 2009, I drop by at my former fiancee office and bring a stem of white tulip that she always wanted, then I asked her to go home and while on board of the MRT, I told her that she just follow me. We alight the train at Cubao station, she was nervous because she taught we are going to one of the Motel there , but I walked her until the Marikina Shoe Expo, we passed by small bars and shops there, she was clueless where we are going. Until we reach Belinnis Restaurant, one of the original Italian Paparazzi owned resto in Manila. She was amazed by the ambiance since we are both fanatic of Italian culture (obviously my nickname is Rome), I ordered the home brewed red wine and we shared pasta marina and a pan of pizza. Here is the catch, I instructed the waiter to put the big black oval onyx ring (she is a die hard fan of My Girl movie which the Anna Klumsky has a big mood ring) I bought into the chocolate cake, She ate the cake and suprised that something hard in it, she saw the ring and I saw her eyes beaming with surprise. I wiped the ring and kneel infront of her then ask her to marry me, she exclaimed "YES!", the waiter took a picture of us and he got a hefty tip ... that was a now part of old memory... we ended breaking 3 months before the wedding day 11.11.11.
