My Blog

A few days back, i filled in the emptiness of my singlehood with three pairs of stilletos from Charles and Keith…All thanks to the dreary bed weather and the unbelievably infectious cajoulling of the shop manager. Yes, I succumbed to loneliness one Sunday afternoon.

Couple of hours later, I gladly post as a YM stat - cured depression with a hot pair of levi’s and 3 pairs of pumping pumps. As curiosity kills some cats, a guy friend pings and goes, "oh that’s such a girl thing! " And adds, an ex squeezed some Manolo Blahniks from me in the past, and I go " for the love of God why spend P15000 on a pair of pretty footies!" and he goes…" I didn’t mind..the sex was fantastic! " This wasn’t really a shock since Philippine society dictates that men buy thingys for their girlies…but it lead me to two questions - How good was Imelda in bed? and What have I not been doing I’ve only been getting Nine Wests?!! 

This question bugged me and haunted me in my dreams. I don’t mean to brag, but for someone who’s used to getting raging reviews in the sack, it’s quite beguilling to be hit by this certain proof of appreciation. So, do men, at the back of their heads, go about rating your performance from 1 to 10, while you mercilessly fake near lock - jaw on a certain stunt? Are your screams and shouts and over dramatic oohs and ahhs, graded against what type of price bracket you belong to?

So, lets turn the tables around…What  do we women base our projected investments on for our current or target beau? Do we mark them on their grinding prowess, ranging from mindblowing to never again? Wherein the highest score equates to a play station or a car accessory and the lowest would well be…a greeting card?

Think about it? Now, I would have trouble receiving gifts from a guy…It might secretly mean something.  While I’d like to think its a deep appreciation of the love and the caring and your over-all concern as a girlfriend, another part of me is screaming " Yeah right! That’s an A for last night!"

I can’t answer any of my own self querries as of now…Just that maybe in turn, next time I buy myself some pretty foot wear, I’d make sure its a reward for something great.
