Bring me...A Ruler!

It has been a year since I have started my part time writing gig as an Essays.ph writer. (Which reminds me that I have to print and submit my contract for the third time). I do have to find time to get an assignment since my regular job has been really taking a lot from me but that doesn't really stop me from going to any of their events when they have one.

When I was new in EPH (that's Essays.ph for short), I went to the very first EB in Manila. I haven't even written anything yet at that time but because of that EB, I got good pointers from veteran writers like dannfong, siriusmelai, and cecilia, just to name a few and writing came easy for me when I began to get assignments.

Anyway, the first EB was a more or less get to know you session from the people who went there and the search for a Videoke began as well. We weren't able to find a videoke bar that night so we ended up playing billiards instead with me and louise winning. (hehe...)

The next EB gave me the title "Ms. Ruler".

Again, it was a search for a videoke bar that led us to a restaurant that offers a videoke. Unfortunately, the machine wasn't working so to pass the time, dannfong took the mic and hosted a very short game of "Bring Me!"

His first and only request was "Bring me a ruler!"

Of course, no one was expecting that someone would bring out a ruler that time lo and behold, I rummaged through my bag, brought out a pencil case and produced a 6" Orion Ruler. Everyone laughed and dannfong was speechless. As for me, it was the highlight of the night and like I said, it gave me the title of "Ms. Ruler".

So, during the grand EB last August 1. When I was being introduced to other Essays.ph writers who attended, melai would always say, "This is Kirsikka. The girl with the ruler."

I do hope the next EB or event that EPH would be hosting, I would be able to attend once more. And be sure that if when that happens, I would be bringing along my most famous ruler. :)
