This is the tale of how I met Smith. Where else to meet Smith other than on the web? His online presence wasn't one to be ignored, like virtually in your face. For someone like me who wasn't exceptionally savvy with the web in the past, I can't say I was interested to know more about Smith online. He followed me (it was probably at night, in the dark, when I wasn't looking) on Twitter and liked any girl shouldn't do, I followed a stranger back.
End of story.
Well technically it was because I don't recall us communicating much. Until one day he tweeted that Marshall went missing and that triggered that ignorant in me to transform into OMGSOMEONENEEDSTOFINDHISPUSSY mode. Retweets started and I began to follow the episode of Missing Marshall. Needless to say that I was happy and relived when Marshall returned home!
And they lived happily ever after.
Because we never contacted again. But the following continued on Facebook and Instagram. Mama said I shouldn't talk to strangers but she didn't mention anything about following.
So this year, Smith answered an SOS tweet of mine regarding social media and
the need to understand its chaotic ways. We finally met in person at a very
memorable location - Coffee Bean. There's a couple of CBs where we were and
apparently we were at different ones. Note: CBs may look different but hey deep
down, the serve the same purpose - to feed and satisfy.
Anyway, we conversed over food and coffee Smith taught me a lot. About social media. Till today I still am very grateful!
Some time later we met again at a lingerie boutique.
It's the best meeting point because you can't miss La Senza. Then pink, the black, the tiny fabrics! But it was all business at Ambush, where we had dinner. We don't beat around the mulberry bush here. Conversation was trim and we didn't stray. Smith and I adjourned for some fun soon after - visiting the toy shop! Seriously, I never knew how huge certain toys can get, so many shapes and sizes, oh and the games people play! Toy Outpost and Simply Toys blew me away.

Months later we had lunch at a happy place - Le Cafe! Any cafe with free wi-fi is good in my books. Such a cute cafe too! And this is where I'm writing this post. Smith has just returned to work and I sit on my own in this now empty cafe to pen my thoughts. Le Cafe seems to be an appropriate place to write this because meeting Smith was truly a happy event. I'm very thankful for his friendship!
So this is how I met Smith. Hey kids, thank you for being my audience. I don't take 9 seasons, but I did take 9 paragraphs. Until next time!

Who is Axixe? If you guys have been following my doodle, you will notice the slight resemblance. Of course, she is better at it cause she is the person who poisoned me to do it and of course gave me some tips as well. And why is she writing here? Cause I like her writing and stuff (and her pretty face) and I want her to be part of this too. Anyway, my blog is like a messy table, nothing can make a messy table messier unless you clean it up.

Love the image of the social media logos! Are they yours? Or do you know the artist? I'd love to get permission to use the image on my weddingwire website for our upcoming nuptials. Thank you!
