First Time

This is my second blog.  Written a year and a half after my very first blog.  I was in a let's call it a "recovery stage after a year of hell like experience" and one of my closest companion was alcohol.  I wrote this blog as an homage to the my favorite poison.

It all happened at the back of our school bus when i was in grade 6. It was dusk and we were cruising along South Superhighway when I along with 2 of my friends experienced the most pleasurable awakening of the senses that culminated into a frenzy.


I can vividly remember the scent, the taste….the feeling as the bittersweet liquid slowly traveled down my throat. It was heady, musky and I surrendered my soul during that one moment when all I could say was "ahhhhhhh."

It was wild….chaotic….a riot…and it went on and on and on. After a while…it was calm, quiet and all i could do was succumb to the sweet tranquility of sleep.

Ahhhhh……that was the first time…the first time i took a swig at that ever reliable bottle of San Miguel Beer. Thus began my love affair with alcohol……..

Watch out for……Beer Nation
