First

This is my first time blogging on this brand new baby blog of mine. And it reminds me of all the firsts I've ever had...

My first blog - which was not regularly updated. Sad but true and will now be discontinued because I don't want certain people to be reading it.

My first kiss ever - a sweet maddening gentle swirl of sensation fumes in my brain. To this day, I can remember exactly how it felt, how we smelt, how we touched. He is now not in my life, for reasons I shall keep to myself as it's a long story but for some reason, the memory of this kiss is untainted.

My first memory of primary school - a crazy kaleidoscope of people. I still remember how my mother brought me to school late and we sat down at the end of a big open hall, with slate-gray tiles.

My first time getting lost - I was in school for a dance class, but it had been canceled and I didn't know. I decided I would go home by myself. I was 6 or 7. This was also the first time I received the kindness of a stranger.

The first maid we ever had - a sweet thin competent Filipino lady named Elsa. She was around more than my mother and she cooked fantastic fried chicken wings.

The first book I can remember ever having bought for myself with my own pocket money - Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I still have that book. I still love it.

I can remember many many more, but then, I'm feeling rather sentimental tonight. So I will now bid a goodnight and go to kiss the bonny boy I love.
