"Flashback"

(Ms. Lan, Kuya Raul, Ate Donna and Matteo)

Unexpectedly, after my teaching session with the kids at Victory I passed by the foodcourt of Robinson's Galleria. I am on my way to the washroom to freshen up cause I feel very exhausted. Suddenly, someone caught my attention. It was Ms. Lan, Matteo's road manager. I was a bit shy and excited when I saw her. After all, Ms. Lan was one of the good reason how I met my celebrity idol and now my friend Matteo. I immediately approached her. She was with her Mom. They attended a mass in Pasig and just decided to have a breakfast at Robinson's foodcourt.

I was overwhelmed with the fact that she still remembered me. She recalled that I was the one who toured and shoot a scene inside Matteo's house. I love to see her smile while remembering each scenes that we did that time. It is like I am going through again with one of the best episode of my life, spending one whole day with car racer and theater actor Matteo Guidicelli. It was like a big flashback. This is something I will never forget throughout my life. Ms. Lan even introduced me to her Mom and even told to her the dares me and Matteo did last July. Honestly, the moment I saw Ms. Lan I somehow realized that one of my biggest dream has already been fulfilled. It may sound impossible from the beginning but I made things happen because of my never-ending faith and prayers to God.

I've also had friendly conversation with her about Matteo. She told me that Matteo will be here this coming December and will stay here for good. He will continue his studies here and will not go back to Chicago. I know this decision would be very hard for Matteo but maybe he needs to give up something good for something better. Ms. Lan also mentioned that Matteo missed his family so much. This makes me sad. Don't worry Matteo, times flies past. It's like how many days and you'll be back here.

It was a happy feeling to see Ms. Lan again after my Dare Duo episode. Gosh! I miss Dare Duo a lot. I miss everything me and Matteo did that time. From visiting his house, eating "dinuguan" and pickles, playing Airsoft and doing some theater workshop, I so miss the entire experience. The feeling is unexplainable. So full of wonder and joy. This has been one of the best things that happen in my life. And I would like to thank all the people who work hard for this to make my dream come true. I owe everything to you guys. I like going back with every scenes. It makes me go gaga. It makes me smile. It drives me crazy. And because of everything, I felt very lucky.
