The Dragon On My Back
SINGAPORE was where I set foot the first time I travelled outside my home country, the Philippines, on the way to my new home down under. I was in Singapore for only 20 hours, an unseasoned traveler who was overwhelmed with the enormity of step I was making.

I Got Scammed Out of $20,000 By a Psychic
Her name was Gin and I thought she was my friend. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. When I first walked into her office, I was a bit lost in my life and I was in need of some guidance. I was greeted by her daughter who came up pretty close to me and started asking me questions. Shortly after, her mother came out and asked me a few questions, as well.

My 1st Date & a glass of Merlot Wine
It was march 21st the 1st day of spring. The sky was dark, thundering and raining. I had just pulled up, got out of my car with my umbrella and keys in hand. A high wind shifted toward my direction. When all of a sudden, I immediately felt a forceful shove. This nearly shook me and left me standing there froze, cold in my tracks. 5:30am I wasn't expecting anyone to be out and about lurking.

Long Live My Embarrassment
The following is one account of the mortifying events that took place at an undisclosed hockey game many years ago. This story has been passed along by others and is now infamous at Pleasant Grove Junior High School – retold every year as a legendary misfortunate incident. The events are typically recanted by a choir teacher, and spreads through the hallways amidst gasps and giggles. Many of those students are not aware that I, Sarah Parson, was right in the middle of it all. This is my story.

The Groundbreaking Part
Friday morning “Please direct your attention to our latest subject. Jessica Johnson, age 29, a computer programmer, who lives alone. It appears that she has been in a romantic comedy vortex for the past couple of days. This sadly is not an isolated incident. Her mother/the person funding this case, Mae Johnson, says that Jessica has been telling her she’s dedicating time to herself” snickered the newest Director of the Should’ve Been Married Already department of Those in Need Inc. “Let’s not laugh, people. I know it is a comical and common excuse, but let’s get back to work. This poor woman is running out of time.”

The Land of Dreams and a Cheater’s Paradise
Four years ago, my life was at its pinnacle. I had recently completed my undergraduate degree with first-class honours, gotten my first managerial job at the age of twenty-two, and I was sure I had met the man I would spend the rest of my life with. I met him at work, and despite my rule of never dating a colleague, I fell for him. We embarked on what seemed to be a beautiful romantic journey. After dating for a while, we opted to move in together. That was my first time living with a man, but it was a seamless transition that prompted me even to introduce him to my dad. My father and I weren't and still aren't very close, so that was also a first. Though I didn't hesitate to tell my friends and family members about him, I hadn't declared our relationship at work. He would pick me up and drop me off half a block away when we commuted together. We would then greet each other at work as though we didn't spend the night wrapped in each other's arms. I felt like a teenager all over again and was undoubtedly having the time of my life.

An Accidental Injury
I've been debating on which story I should share for this subject: should I share the time I accidentally texted my cousin a nude picture of myself? No, too short. What about the time my boyfriend and I were caught making love in a field by police officers? No, that one just doesn't have as much substance. How I fumbled my first kiss? Meh, not worth the explanation. The time that I said that thing to that guy? No, also too short--and it isn't even that embarrassing, in retrospect...

It was the merlot
The day I met you you told me that you loved me. It wasn't in the words that you said it was the way that no matter what I had on that night, or didn't, that didn't matter to you. All you cared about was my eyes. I reclined the chair back and crossed my legs like a lady but the next puff I took out that cigarette could have been big enough for a grown man, but you didn't care about that. You just stayed seated in your upright position and kept staring at me. At first I didn't think much of it, I'm used to men staring at me but that weird vibe I usually get alongside the displaced stares I didn't get from you. But instead of thinking too much more into it I just layed farther back in my seat, of your car, right next to you. "Can you roll down your window please" he looked displaced like he's never seen a girl he didn't know be so comfortable in his car, which comes to find out later was actually a good thing. "You want some of this" I held up a bottle of Merlot with one hand and grabbing it by its neck like a dead animal I'd just killed. He looked displeased, "I'll pass" and just kept staring out the front window. I put the bottle down but now holding it in between my legs as I turned my body more to face him, only uncrossing my legs enough so the bottle would fit, and asked "what's your problem"

My Milkshake Brings ... Embarrassment
The Summer of 2013, I started my first job ... I'm just going to say it was a fast food restaurant, not which one. The first few weeks I was working, the milkshake machine was down (and/or we didn't have any milkshake mix in the inventory), so I didn't get a lot of initial practice with how to make milkshakes. How they work though is you pull the handle down on the machine, then you have to watch it and lift the lever again ... or else you'll get milkshake everywhere. (Remember this fact for later, it's important!)
