DIARY OF A FAN, part 5

February 6, 2004
The day of the flight… the night before, I can’t sleep… I kept on checking my bag… did I forget anything? Is my gift for zai zai all set? Should I bring along my dog (stuffed toy)?… I slept at around 1.30 am and then woke up at 4.30… siyempre while taking a bath all smile na ako kahit ang lalim ng eye bags ko at sobrang dark niya… my mom and my brother were the ones who accompanied me to the airport… we left the house by 5.30… nung asa airport na, eh di ba-bye na kay mama… sabi niya, ingat ka don, ‘wag ka gala mag-isa baka mawala ka… tapos kiss na then bye… I texted ms. mila, she was inside the airport already waiting for me and two other persons… ms. roslyn reyes from sony and vj salie. When I saw her sa waiting area and after greeting her… wala lang… quiet lang ako… then I asked her… “Bakit po yung entry ko yung napili niyo? What was your criteria?”… she just told me, “wala naman talagang criteria… basta okay yung sa’yo and also, kailangan na kasi namin ng winner agad…” okay… so quiet ulit…
While waiting for the others, napatingin ako sa may entrance nung airport… I saw a familiar-looking face… I said to myself, “kilala ko ‘ata ‘to…” yun pala si salie!!! She’s really pretty in person… when I was introduced to her, parang magkakilala na kami… feeling ko nga parang close na kami!!! Haha!!!=) I texted my friends right away… sabi ko nga ang pretty ni salie… after that, ms. ros came (who is also pretty and kinda looks like a female version of ken) tapos nagcheck-in na… immigration… then we waited for our flight to be called… they ate breakfast after that, ms. mila said, “Mag-shoot na tayo for OPM MYX… tapos introduce mo na si christia…” WHAT THE ***?! Hello?! Asa airport!!! Ang daming tao… wala naman akong nagawa, tawa lang ng tawa… kaya ganon… people were looking at us for crying out loud!!!=)
Minutes after 8.00 am, we boarded the plane… siyempre, sa loob ng plane ‘di pinatawad… nagshoot pa rin sila…=) and then ms. ros gave me my free zai zai cd… siyempre, I listened to it right away!!!=)
We landed in hong kong before 10.30… sobrang lamig talaga!!! Ms. Ros saw me wearing just a plain jacket kaya she asked me, “did they inform you na sobrang lamig ngayon?” I answered back, “Ms. mila told me but I never thought it would be THIS cold!!!” DAMN!!! Sa loob pa lang ng airport, nagchichill na ako… then she looked back, sabi ni ms. ros, “Hey there!” when I looked back din, I saw TIM YAP… TIM YAP?! What on earth is he doing in hong kong?! TIM YAP!!! My goodness!!! While walking towards the immigration, nagvivideo si ms. mila and we were laughing kasi wala na kaming maintidihan ni salie… we were transported to meteor garden…=)
There was this immigration slip and health certificate that I failed to write on inside the plane kaya sobrang nagmamadali ako sa line sa immigration!!! Buti na lang I was able to finish it right away… ang lamig na nga ng hands ko (numb na) tapos sobrang kaba pa kasi baka they might find out something about me, pauwiin nila ako… (it was my first time to travel alone kaya sobrang worried din ako…) para tuloy akong tanga don…=) Tapos sobrang tagal pa nung baggage ko!!! Hindi ko agad makita… ms. mila and salie were waiting for me kaya nakakahiya… naisip ko agad yung gift ko kay zai zai… siyempre inuna yung gift bago yung damit ko diba?! Tapos tim and ms. ros were there with us na… I was introduced to tim by ms. ros… shake hands… warm ng kamay unlike me na parang patay… BAKIT SILA GANON?! Nakakainis… di ba sila nilalamig?!
Anyway, we were met by the tour guide sa may labas na… tapos we went to the mini bus to bring us to our hotel… pag labas namin sa airport, shit!!! Sobrang lamig talaga!!! Siguro around 10 degrees… winter talaga!!! My friends, during our break time in class, called me up sa phone… “Tinay!!! (my other nick name) asan ka na?!” sobrang ingay nila don sa classroom… I really wanted to shout… “Ching!!! Showbiz na!!! Andito si TIM YAP!!!” but I didn’t kasi asa likod ko lang yung tao…=) sabi ko na lang, asa airport kami… we’re going to the hotel… blah blah blah…
I was really freezing na that I told them na ang first item na bibilin ko was jacket… kaya salie offered her extra jacket to me for the mean time…=) On our way to the hotel, si tim the tour guide was welcoming us and all… tapos offering us kung gusto namin punta sa ocean park… si salie, it’s her first time to go to HK kaya gusto niya ma-tour yung HK… sabi nila she should make the most out of the trip so gusto niya sama, sama siya… I was also asked if I want to go to ocean park… Naku po!!! Lagot na!!!=) I don’t have enough money to join the tour pero I just said yes… mukha naman ako kawawa!!! Good thing salie didn’t go with tim the tour guide!!! Yes!!! ‘di nabawasan pocket money ko!!!=)
When we were dropped off in our hotel and after checking in, panik na kami sa room… I was with ms. mila… the room was kinda small… pero I don’t really care… I AM IN HONG KONG!!! Zai zai and I are breathing the same air now!!!=)
The five of us, Ms. Mila, Ms. Ros, Salie, Tim and I, met up at the lobby to look for lunch… around 1pm… Tim mentioned that he made a reservation at the inter-con… there was this restaurant inside that we have to try daw… kaya we have to be back at the hotel by 8.30 kasi 10 pa yung dinner… Sabi ko, why so late? Accordingly, we were waiting for someone… si “tito ricki” daw will arrive at that time… Sinong tito ricki? Ricki Lo pala… hmm… ibang level na ‘to… showbiz na talaga!!!=) haha!!!=) We ended up eating in a dimsum place near the hotel…
After that, we went on our own na… naghahanap na ako ng jacket ko… since I was with tim yap who happens to love fur, yung jacket na nabili ko tuloy may fur din!!!=) nakakatawa talaga!!! We just walked from the dimsum place to I don’t know where… tapos along Nathan road, we passed by promo posters of zai zai… siyempre sabi ko, “I’ll see you tomorrow, dude!!!’’
Ms. Mila was looking for a place named Sino Center… sobrang layo niya kaya we decided to take a cab… we were dropped off in Mong Kok tapos sabi sa amin nung driver, “Turn right first corner… after stop light.” Naman!!! There were two stop lights don!!! Kaya nanghula kami ni Ms. Mila… wala ring sense yung direction nung driver…
When we turned right… guess what I saw?! Samuel and Kevin store!!! SHIT!!! Tapos meron malaking billboard nila!!! WHAT THE?! I can’t believe it… kakaiba yung feeling kasi I actually saw the store na silang 4 yung nag-eendorse… I thought sa mga e-mail ko lang sila makikita… I guess not…=)
When we finally found the place, Sino Center (Dude, if you’re a big anime’, J-pop, canto-pop fan and you want everything cheap… Sino Center is the place), sobrang natuwa na naman ako!!! ANG DAMI ANIME’!!! ANG DAMI ZAIZAI!!! ANG DAMI F4!!! When I saw the original F4/zai zai stuff, kuha lang ako ng kuha… I didn’t mind the price so when they asked me how much were the items I bought, my answer would be a very quick “Hindi ko alam!”=)
After buying so many F4 stuff, I told myself, “I can now call myself a REAL fan.” Why? Kasi before I don’t usually buy their albums dito sa Philippines… all my F4 stuff are in my mailbox… True! I watch their concerts… I listen to their music… pero wala akong shrine for F4 or zai zai… even posters wala ako… just one, bigay pa yon… that’s how kuripot I am…=) But when I was there, man, I was really different…=)
When we left the building, we passed by S&K again… wala ng hiya-hiya… I got my camera from my bag, stayed in front of the store and took a picture… I don’t know if people were looking at me but I don’t care…=) By 5.30 we headed back to the hotel through a cab again… guess what I saw again?! A pepsi bus!!! WHAT THE?! Grabe na ‘to!!! Sayang, kasi I wasn’t able to take a picture kasi may isang pangit na bus na tinakpan yung pepsi bus!!!
Back at the hotel, I called up my sister and informed her na walang vanness photo book… then na-cut!!! WALA NA AKONG LOAD!!! Oh crap!!! I need to buy one kasi hindi ako nakapagdala ng globe… I went out on my own, freezing to death na and looked for 7/11… I asked them, “Do you have prepaid call cards for cell phones?” Ang answer, “don’t have any…” Man! Was I depressed… may nakasalubong akong Filipino couple and asked them, yun nga daw sa 7/11… pasok ulit ako 7/11… dun sa napasukan ko meron daw pero ang bigay sa akin sim card ng orange (telecom company)… I’m not looking for a sim card!!! I’m looking for a prepaid card… I waited for several minutes… ‘di na niya ako pinansin kasi ba naman tinapos niya lahat ng customers na nasa line… when I asked him again, kinausap niya yung co-worker niya… medyo he was a little irritated na kasi ‘di nga kami nagkakaintindihan… may tinuro siya na parang mga cards sa entrance ng store… dapat pala you should get one of those cards and present it at the counter… that’s when I found out na tawag pala nila sa prepaid card ay RECHARGEABLE VOUCHER!!! Goodness gracious!!!=)
I left and looked for the real orange store… finally, I was able to get the thing that I was looking for… on my way back at the hotel, lakad na lang ako ng lakad when I realized na nawawala na ako!!! Shit!!! Wala na yung landmark ko!!! AHHHH!!! I thought I brought along with me the map to the hotel but I was so wrong… I was so dead… Ayaw kong magfreak out doon… I don’t want to cry pero deep down talaga, I wanted to cry!!! Shit!!! I am so lost… no choice na ako but to take the cab… sobra lapit na lang pala sayang tuloy money ko!!!
Back in our room, I reloaded my cellphone pero hindi pwede!!! AHHH!!! Pa’no na yan?! Sobrang problematic na ako naaawa na si ms. mila sa akin… no choice ulit… I went out again and bought a sim card… nakakainis!!! Buti na lang wala na yung guy from 7/11 na hindi ako pinansin kanina… mapapahiya ako non!!!=) damn!!! That time, ‘di na ako nawala… I went back to the hotel safely…
A few hours later, we left the hotel for dinner… that’s when I met tito ricki… hehe!!! Nakiki-tito na rin ako…=) he didn’t join us for dinner kasi sobrang pagod daw siya… we ate nga at the inter-con… very nice view… very nice seats din kasi we ate at the chef’s table… ibang level…=) si tim madaldal… sabi niya si Jackie Chan lang daw yung artist na sobrang na-starstruck siya and si sharon cuneta…=) and he’s friends with A-Mei… he parties with her and the other hong kong socialites…=) iba siya!!!
After eating, salie, ms. mila and I went to temple street… nagpapack-up na silang lahat kasi upto 1am lang yung night market and we arrived there pass 12 midnight na… nakakatawa kami kasi while they’re packing up, nakikipag-haggle pa kami sa kanila… somebody even tried to hit on salie e…=) “Where u from? You are beautiful…” Haha!!! Funny!!!=) We left temple street at around 1.30 and arrived at the hotel by 2am… before going to sleep, I was fixing my gift for zai zai… I rewrote my letter as well… I slept before 3 am with the thought of meeting zai zai in my mind…=)

* February 7, 2004
This is the day!!! I woke up early kahit sobrang puyat… what did I do?! Siyempre fixing my gift to zai zai pa rin… natatawa na nga lang si ms. mila kasi nga I slept late because I’m doing something for zai zai tapos I woke up early doing something for zai zai pa rin…=)
By 10 am… I’m all set for the day… I accompanied ms. mila to Watson’s but sad to say, we didn’t find any store near the hotel… so naggala na lang kami… we just have to be back sa hotel by 11.30 to meet up with everybody else… we went to I think two stores full of cosmetics… tapos out of nowhere, I just said to myself, “I need to buy a cheek tint and a lip gloss!!! I really need to buy one!!!” if you know me, sasabihin mo, “Tinay, ikaw ba yan?” To be honest, I really don’t buy or use cosmetics… I don’t know how to apply it on myself… kasi I’m a bit boyish…=) it would take my best friends one hell of a time just to persuade me to buy kikay stuff… si zai zai lang pala katapat ko!!!=) he turned me into a girl!!! Haha!!!=)
We met up with them at the lobby before 12 noon… While waiting, sabi kasi may games daw dun sa fans day… tito ricki asked me, “are you chinese?” I said no… tapos sabi niya I look like one naman so dapat magjoin daw kami sa games… =) tim wasn’t be able to join us kasi he’s still sleeping… nakipagparty pa kasi e…=) so we left for HITEC… quite far from the hotel pero okay lang… damn!!! I’m getting nearer… I’m almost there… when we arrived at the venue, the first thing that welcomed us was a ji de wo ai ni poster!!! This is it!!!=) AHHHH!!! I can’t take this anymore…=) siyempre pinatulan ko ulit yon… I took pictures again… there, we met two filipinas who came all the way from the country just for the fans day and for the autograph signing the following day…
We ate first since the event will start at 2 pa… around 1.30, salie and I went to the CR… sobrang nervous na ako… I wanted to run, to jump, to scream talaga!!! I felt restlessness that time… nakakainis na!!!
We left the restaurant the moment we went came back from the CR… pareho kami ni salie na kinakabahan kasi zai zai fan din siya…=) I saw a poster again near the elevator and as usual I took another picture!!!=) When we turned left, that was it!!! I saw fans lining up already… people from the media… cameras, lights… Oh my god!!! I saw the cameras of TVBS, Phoenix, Asia Plus, Channel V… sobrang na-excite ako kasi I only see their signs sa cable… that time, I really saw it!!! They were going to cover the event!!!=)
We met several other fans… from China, Thailand… The girl from China even gave us a zai zai button… A few minutes later, Ms. Ros called us saying that we’re going inside the hall na!!! We were the first few people who were able to enter venue hall B1 - - if I’m not mistaken… Once we were inside and once I saw the stage with a very big picture of zai zai at the back, the balloons and everything, I was really in awe!!! Songs of zai zai were being played pa!!! Gosh!!! I’ve traveled how many miles just to see this, to see him!!! Everything was so surreal!!! I was like jumping for joy inside the hall and the security people were looking at me!!!=) I called up my friends back home… “Ching, I’m inside the hall!!! Eto na!!! Tapos later, we’ll be going to his hotel!!!” I promised to call them back once I see zai zai… One of the organizers gave us numbers for our seats… we sat near the stage!!! Iba talaga!!!
The event started before 3pm… Salie and I were getting bored na kasi nga matagal magstart… then the host came up the stage… siyempre she was talking in mandarin kaya wala kaming maintindihan… tito ricki knows another Chinese language, not mandarin… sayang… yung supposed interpreter namin kasi, tulog pa…=) Clueless kami as to what was happening yun pala may game… paunahan mag-raise ng hands so that you could be chosen as a contestant… Salie and I raised our hands din kaso we weren’t picked… Buti na lang kasi yung contest pala, you have to sing zai zai songs from his new album… they will play a song tapos ‘pag nagstop, you have to continue it…=) I haven’t memorized the songs yet nor have I properly listened to his CD… kaya good thing I wasn’t chosen…=) I forgot who won pero siyempre lahat sila may gift… poster…
Fans were calling for zai zai already because wala pa rin siya e… tagal na… sigaw sila ng sigaw, “ZAI ZAI! ZAI ZAI!” kami ni salie, we were trying to come up with our own translation kung ano man yung sinasabi nung host… We almost fell asleep na nga… tapos, yun na… he went up the stage and said “Hallo!!!”!!! Ayon na siya!!! Salie and I were going nuts sa may table namin… the others okay lang… I kept on telling salie, “SALIE! SALIE! ANDIYAN NA SIYA!!! $%@#%^@$!!!” Oh my goodness!!! Iba ang stage presence niya… sobra talaga!!! Sobrang tuwa ko kakapicture, I decided to go near the stage kasi yung zoom nung camera, it’s not that nice… sabi ko kay salie that I have to go nearer… no more second thoughts, I knelt down the aisle and started to sort of crawl/walk… I don’t know how you call it basta para akong nasa baclaran church!!! Salie did the same thing with me… When we were two tables away from the railings and stage, nakita kami ng security and started to walk towards us eh nakita ko siya agad… “Salie, may security!!! Halika na!!!” We ran back to our seats and started to laugh out loud!!!=) Salie tansfered to the table in front of us… I saw her asking the girl beside her so I decided to try my luck… The one seated beside me was a boy… I asked, “Do you understand English? Can you tell me what is happening?” He just shook his head… poor me…=( So, I was there, listening to what they were saying… just watching zai zai’s move… the way he laughs… then he sang one song… Your Body Heat (as translated in the Philippine version of the cd)… maarte siya kumanta!!! But cute!!!=) it’s live… I called up my friend and told her to listen to zai zai!!!=)
After that, tapos na yung event… he went down the stage and we were like, “Tapos na?!”=) The fans grabbed their chairs towards the front and siyempre, eto na naman ako, “Ano meron?! Why are they taking their chairs? Salie, halika na!!! Punta tayo sa harap!!!” We didn’t know what was happening perso game kami… Salie took a chair… I didn’t get one kasi I was bringing all our stuff… yun pala may picture taking yung mga fans… the media people were on the stage and then the fans behind the railings… yun lang pala e, so we decided to let it pass… malayo rin naman kami sa may center eh… few minutes later, everybody was screaming!!! Zai zai came out again to have his picture taken!!! WWWHHHAAATTT???!!! Sayang!!! The person I met kanina called me and said, “Halika dito!!! Andito si zai zai!!!” so balik ako… I stood up sa chair… I almost fell pa nga kasi kasama ko siya (yung friend ko) sa chair… I saw his the side of his face… My friend was shouting “ZAI ZAI WO AI NI!!!” Gaya naman ako… naki WO AI NI na rin ako!!!=) I think pumiyok pa nga ako e… =)
Anyway, after that, that was it… we went back to the hotel kasi we’ll be picking up tim and ms. ros was going to get something pa… chance ko na rin to freshen up…=) before 5 ata we arrived back at the hotel then we ate first at the café sa may lobby… we’ll be meeting again before 6.30… we went up and went straight to the washroom… I washed my face, brushed my teeth… basta inulit ko yung morning ritual ko… tapos I made myself up na… I really don’t know how to put on the cheek tint basta lagay lang ako ng lagay, once in a while asking ms. mila kung okay na… “Dagdagan mo pa! Wala akong Makita e.” So lagay naman ako… I removed my rubber shoes na din… pinalitan ko ng sandals… Ang taray ng dating!!! High heels pa!!!=) Basta I really wanted to look presentable and girly that night kaya pati blouse ko pink!!!=)
We waited for salie in our room… tapos nagvideo sila… downstairs, when we were complete na, we went down to the parking area to wait for our cab… I was with tito ricki and tim… salie, ms. ros and ms. mila in another cab… niloloko nga ako ni tito ricki eh… sabi niya, “Ayan! You’re rubbing elbows na with tim yap!!!” I replied, “Oo nga eh!!! I was shocked when I saw him then you…”=) Inside the cab, I was really quiet… the two of them just talking… in Chinese pa nga minsan… basta pag nagchinese sila, they made it a point to translate what they’re saying for me… para ‘di naman ako ma-left out… that was really nice of them… He also asked me what my age is kasi they were talking about something not intended for a minor… I said I’m 22… tapos nakuha pang manloko saying that he thought I was 21 and a half… haha!!! Very funny… with a sarcastic tone…=) I could pass as a 16 year old girl daw kasi…=) ganon?!=)
The cab slowed down already and I saw the name of the hotel… HARBOUR PLAZA… Gosh!!! This is it!!! I’m in the same building as zai zai!!! Damn!!!=)
We went to the third floor… business center… then we waited for them there… I went to the CR to pee then while I was inside doing my business, I heard ms. ros speaking… Shit!!! Andiyan na sila!!! Wait for me!!! I rushed towards the waiting area kahit I’m not yet fully done with my thing… OOOPS!!! It wasn’t them pa pala…=) while waiting, the Chinese girl (the one I met at the fans day) called me… she followed zai zai in his hotel… tapos dumami na sila… they were asking me how I’m feeling at the moment… how I won the contest… they also asked me if I could give their gifts to zai zai… I just said, I’ll try…=) Before I went inside the business center, they were teaching me Chinese phrases… ‘pag di ko na alam yung sasabihin, Ji De Wo Ai Ni na lang…=) Then I went inside… feeling ko para akong delegate of some conference na makakameet ng isang important world leader… kakaiba!!!=) Ms. Ros told me after I came inside that the managers to be inside the room during the MYX interview kasi originally, di dapat… I don’ t know what exactly happened but they allowed me…=)
I was preparing my stuff when I heard the sound of the elevator… Ting!!! Then I saw people wearing business attires… they were wearing all black… and then… and then… SHIT!!!! Lumabas na siya ng elevator!!! Damn!!! He’s so tall kaya siya talaga yung mapapansin mo…=) While he was walking (na feeling ko sobrang slow motion lahat…), I was smiling talaga… ear to ear… when they went inside the room, I sat beside Salie and hugged her, “Salie, eto na! Sorry… nasakal ba kita?!” Sabi niya, “Oo nga e… medyo mabigat ka kasi…”=)
Tim was the first one to interview vic… after that, tito ricki and ms. mila were next… kami ni salie, quiet na lang… she wasn’t talking… I wasn’t talking as well… SILENCE… I was on the floor, hugging my chair kasi sobrang nervous na ako… Kasi the moment has arrived…=) Mukha akong kawawa talaga!!!=)
Ms. Ros came out of the room and said, “tin, salie… kayo na!!!” Salie went ahead of me kaya nagmamadali ako… I brought all my stuff… those things to be signed… my bag… my gift… the gifts of the other fans… ang dami kong dala, I looked like a delivery girl…=) anyway, as we entered the room, OH MY GOD!!! I saw him seated on the sofa… almost lying pero hindi and he was singing “You are so beautiful to me…” in perfect English, mind you!!!=) no accent or whatever… I heard him sing live and in English!!!=) Damn, how lucky can a fan get?!?!?! When I saw him, I almost fainted but I tried not to faint… Dude, napaluhod na lang ako… as if I saw a miracle… a god in front of me!!!=) wala rin naming chairs sa loob ng room so talagang nakaupo lang ako sa floor… for 20 to 30 minutes that I was inside the room, nakasmile lang ako…=) and whenever he’s looking at my way, at the back… he never failed to nod and smile at me… he acknowledged my presence for goodness sake!!!=) siyempre, ganon din ako!!! I was like a Japanese girl for 30 minutes because I kept on bowing my head…=) then my moment came… ms. ros was like, “I’d like you to meet the winner of our contest… this is… anong name mo gusto ipakilala? Tin-tin or christia?” Hmmm… I went, “tin-tin na lang po para madali!!!” “This is tin-tin…” Damn!!!=) “Hi” “Hallo!” Then he said my name and repeated it several times… funny nga because he was kind of laughing/smiling while saying “tin-tin”… I don’t know why…=) Yung gift ko and my camera, I placed them on the table before I held and shook his hand… When he offered his hand to shake mine, sobrang kinakabahan ako… shake hands na… his hand was so warm and soft as compared to mine na sobrang nilalamig… then he asked me, “Ni shi zhong guo ren ma?” Huh?! I looked straight in his eyes and said “Huh?!” Then looked at the interpreter dumbfounded… she said, “are you Chinese?!” I said no… Damn, he smelled good!!! For all those who want to know, mabango siya… I don’t know exactly kung may perfume siya or anything pero mabango siya… or di ko lang naamoy kasi sobrang my senses didn’t cooperate with me…=) then I think I gave him my gift, explained what’s inside, and pleading pa nga ata to read my letter and eat the mangoes…=) then picture taking na… I really thought that he wouldn’t put his arms around me but HE DID!!! Oh my goodness!!!=) that was one hell of an experience…=) then autograph signing… I was able to ask for 5… very lucky me!!!=) while writing down my name, he was again smiling… really don’t know why… anybody?! What does tin-tin mean in Chinese?!=) after the signing, I gave the gifts from the other fans… explained that some came from fans from Guang Zhou, China… nauutal talaga ako I can’t even pronounce Guang Zhou properly… I kept on saying, “Guang… Guang…” and then he was looking at me… parang naaawa na siya sa akin because I can’t say the name of the place… I told him, “…from China…” and he was like, “Oh… China, Guang Zhou… Xie Xie… thank you…”=) tapos yung gift from the filipina fan… a wallet with money inside… but they didn’t get the money… they don’t accept money from fans e… after that, that was it… we said our goodbyes na… I can’t recall kung nagshake hands ba ulit or something pero I was really happy!!!=) Before leaving, I wanted to say, “WAIT I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING IN CHINESE!!!”… I’ve been practicing Chinese phrases for several days… memorizing it… but I wasn’t able to talk… I wasn’t able to say anything… sobrang star struck /love struck… wala tuloy nangyari!!! AHHHH!!! When I tried to open my mouth to talk, feeling ko yung dila ko babalik sa loob… That is my biggest regret… not being able to say what I wanted to… pero I wrote everything in my letter naman… AND the fact that I wasn’t able to hug him back… unforgivable… kaya sabi ko nga…”I wanna cry!!!” huhuhu!!!=(
After that, we went out of the room… they asked me what happened… interviewed me… all that… and that was it… zai zai and company left the place 5 to 10 minutes after salie and I went out of the room… we were supposed to have a group picture taking kaya lang they remembered that there was another interview or something… we said bye na!!! And for the last time, he looked at me, bowed and smiled…
February 7, 2004 was, is and will always be the best day of my entire life…=)
*** we ate dinner at around 10 pm… after that salie, ms. mila, tim and I went to mong kok that time for the night market… late na naman kami kaya nagpapack up na sila… we went back to the hotel before 3 am…
