My first dance…though ridiculed coz he was making fun of my love handles, hehe my bestfriend, Jerome.
Got sobrang kilig over someone…junior high, some guy i secretly call BUFFY…he’s happily married now.
My first heartache that i haven’t completely gotten over with…i thought we were friends, some person i secretly called BUBOT.
When i got into the finals at a Fashion Competition and im the only Painting student there….and being the first and only Painting student got me to be an instant celebrity for one night. hehe
I flew by myself via first class on PAL to visit my brother in Tokyo and got held up at the Narita Immigration, hehe just because i wrote my brother’s address wrong and they just wanted to be extra sure that i know where i am headed to in their country.
I survived an illness that almost killed me…i’ve been in remission for 5 years. It’s not cancer…like cancer but NOT.
Then last night, November 8, 2006…late night. My mom turns 70 years old and for that past months she’s been so sad and sickly because she misses my brother whose now based in Tokyo. Lastnight we all had the biggest surprise when that brother of mine arrived for my mom’s birthday. But more than to my surprise, i was excited for my mom’s reaction and indeed it was a reaction worth waiting for. I recorded it in my head….first she was awed by the flower arrangement that greeted her at the door then we urged her to read the card that wouldn’t open and that’s when the big surprise came…and there it was, my mom with the widest eyes in shock to see my brother whom she thought was in Japan! Then she cried. If i had x-ray eyes i swear i would have seen a ray of light embrace her once-grayish aura. All she ever really need was to see my brother.
Yesterday, is one of the most unforgettable moments i’ll ever have. I don’t think anything else could top that one moment. =0)
