do you believe in love at first sight? well, i do! it happened to me in high school... at least in the tv! i just saw this guy and he just took my breath away!! my world started to revolve around him... now, this Vince Hizon guy really took the sanity off me... with two of my best buddies, reggie, who happens to be drooled over bal david (duh! i dunno why) and belle, who is also madly in love with vince, we did all crazy things a fan could do...
1.) mother got angry because of the TOO many posters in your room..
2.) hating dad for saying bad things about vince...
3.) getting into the high school girls' basketball varsity (imagine, practicing every after class, doing all the warm-ups, sweating to death when in fact, duh, you are a high school girl! you should be all fresh and mabango... anyway, no regrets, i really like the sports apart from its players!)...
4.) consider the number 12 as a fave number, putting it in the jersey, scribbling the number in your notes, vandalizing the number in the cr...
5.) signing in his fans club (duh!)...
6.) learning the life stories of Mikee Cojuangco, Dodot Jaworski, (his friends) and Toni Leviste (his ex)...
7.) waiting until 12 midnight to watch Sports Unlimited (his tv program with Dianne Castillejo)...(and i have to say, mother also got angry about this)...
8.) getting serious into taking up Brod Comm to be a PBA anchor someday...
9.) spending half of allowance buying paraphernalias of a fan-- magazines, posters, mugs, shirts, caps etc....
10.) and this, when Ginebra team went to Cabanatuan City, my dear hometown, went to the mall very early in the morning with friends (mall was not even open yet) to be in a stampede of fellow fans. at about 3 pm, the team came. but because a fan pulled vince causing his shirt to tear off, he didn't went off the van.. well, to make it short, i did not see even his shadow, or a tip of his head...

that day, i promised myself vince and i will meet someday face to face... and guess what ? we did!! i was in my last year in UP and there was this concert /fashion show contest in AIT (my beloved college) and he was gonna be there as an endorser of a new line of clothing with some other celebrities and with now wife, Patricia... no i did not do the ramp but designed the stuff for the female model representing my org... i was not even finished putting the final furnishings to the dress when belle came.. "Les, omigosh, andiyan na si vince!" keber na sa model di ba! i went out, saw him, mesmerized by his presence, never thought that the high school dream would actually come true... the fashion show went well, i, never realizing what was going on around because eyes are glued to him, my dearest Vince... the next thing i know, our entry for the show won! but the best thing is that when i called his name when he was just few feet away and HE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED!!!!
butterflies in the stomach, stars all around, the world froze, yup! it was love!

now, i can only look back at those wonderful years of being a fan of VinceHizon and Allan Caidic! i dunno what's going on with their lives right now.. but i will forever be a fan of these two great men of my life...
