The Kitty Story: Prologue

So yeah, pretty much today we are almost back to normal. It's just we're pretty much busy the whole day, even more with her since she just got back from her holiday (backlogs, etc). But I'm pretty happy that she does send me messages on her own accord despite her very busy day. Right now she is visiting the doctor due to her bites from sand flies (she just went from a beach). Anyhow, I would want to remove and strikeout most of what I have typed away in the first entry of this blog, but never mind -- I have considered them already "said and done". I am just relieved that I get to talk to her again.

As I have promised, I will tell how this blog is a continuation of my previous blog, and the story's relevance to the blog name "Scribble Of Lines". So this would be quite a series of entries, but I promise to omit the not so important stuff.

As you can see, my new avatar here is an origami of a kitty. That pretty much symbolizes how this new blog started. It's with me now, given to me by her herself. I have been holding it so dear with me these past eight weeks. As the story unfolds, this will be reveals how this kitty came to play. So here it goes...

February 2009, I launched the very first entry of my previous blog (http://secret--lover.blogspot.com/2009/02/your-author-anonymous.html). It was like a far cry for this certain girl (code named 90561495 from the previous blog, but here let's call her S), I was her "secret lover" from two thousand miles away and I was pretty crazy about her and about everything because I didn't have any audience (for some circumstances I just couldn't tell to my real friends). So I decided to open a blog and have the cyberspace be my audience, with me as an anonymous writer.

Just a few months and several entries after, I had a number of readers already. Well, just a modest number but they pretty much followed the whole thing until the end. There was one particular reader, from one of the forums I signed in for. Let's name her T (I don't really intend to hide her identity, just for privacy purposes). I remember her as the one pretty much intent to know the story behind the blog. We immediately became close friends, we exchanged our stories. I think she is my first "real" friend coming from their place (there were actually two of them before her, but communications between those two were cut immediately, and when I used the word "real" here, there is somewhat an explanation).

Several months after, I have planned out to visit S and her mom (because I was pretty close to her mom). I told T about it and we agreed to meet (and show her the diary I wrote about S). So January 2010 (http://secret--lover.blogspot.com/2010/01/smile-youre-on-camera.html), I came to see S and her family. Then I finally met T. That meeting was just so forgettable and nothing really memorable. But throughout my stay there, T was like my best friend. Knowing everything that had happened while I was there, whining and complaining to her. I think she even heard me cry on the phone. Even though she wasn't that special, I knew in me that I want her to be my friend for the longest time.

After my 2010 visit, we pretty much went our separate ways, occasionally chatting on Facebook. Basically we had our own lives. Easily, because we're just thousands of miles apart. But little did we know that we're going to be special to each other, despite the distance.

So now fast forward to 2013. The fun begins. Catch the story in the next entry.
