My First PUSO Day

I am 35, single (technically)  who have been asked numerous times every February of my life this same generic and sometimes annoying question of what will I do on the 14th? Normally my answer would just be a smile but this year is different. I have an answer, we have an all-girls-sleep-over partey!!!

Last Feb14 (on a Friday, Payday, Valentines), while the Metro is cursed with heavy traffic both on streets and in trains (ya! people-traffic), I stayed at home the whole day to prepare for the night. My housemates and I, invited our girl friends to have a Valentines party at home and we called it P.U.S.O. Don't ask me what the acronym mean because I keep forgetting, the S though stands for Singles. See my pang-elementary wall decor...We even have our Love wall...

Anyway, the ladies started coming by 5pm. The program was simple: eat, have a game and movie marathon. We had dinner, talked, laughed and ate as much sweets as we wanted (imagine 10+ women talking and laughing...thanks to the sugar rush. It was a riot!) The night was "young" and no one can eat more pasta or chicken or donuts thus, the movie marathon. The group chose Pride and Prejudice, the old 4-hour TV Series in BBC. What a way to celebrate Heart's Day, be overwhelmed with hearty words of Mr. Darsy. 

The story of P&P never fails to amuse the audience with sizzle of how a man turns head over heels to a woman.

Proverbs 30:18-19 says:

Three things are too wonderful for me;

four I do not understand:

the way of an eagle in the sky

the way of a serpent on a rock,

the way of a ship on the high seas,

and the way of a man with a virgin.

Most of the girls who came to the party are christian single who are happy and contented in the Lord but also waiting for His blessing of a godly man to come, their own 'Mr. Darsy', God-willing.   

As for me, this is my first February 14 with a boyfriend. (Ya, I know count my age hihi...) He surprised me by delivering himself at home the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, yummiest donuts and dark chocolates I ever received on this special day. I blushed as I received them...darn!

Earlier, I hoped he'd do something but I prepared myself not to expect then it came. Thank you, Love. This is my first PUSO Day. 

I wanna sing lala lala lala means...

Past midnight came but the movie was not yet over. As my eyes couldn't hold it any longer, I dozed off earlier than the ladies. During breakfast I've learned that they slept at 5am. :) Let's do this again, soon!
