I think I have the most memorable Valentines of my life. Before this year's Valentines, my only memorable Valentine's day was way back in high school, where I was set up to a blind date to an acquaintance in another section.

I was not set up to a date, nor initiated it whatsoever. I just watched a volleyball game. What's so special about it? UST, my favorite volleyball team won the game, and it set a happy mood to the players after the game. I borrowed a digicam from a friend and had my composition notebook ready for autographs.

UST won against Adamson, 3 sets to 1. MVP Contender Aiza Maizo sizzled for 30 point and she drew ample support from Bernice Co, Rhea Dimaculangan, Maika Ortiz, and Judy Caballejo to put Adamson's Angela Benting's 33 points to naught.

After the game, I went outside the Arena, waiting for the girls to come out. Then there they came. First, it was Aiza Maizo. I already took a picture of her after the game. I just requested her to sign my notebook.

Denise Tan was next... and the people (including me) mobbed her... Definitely because she has the most supporters amongst the UST Women's Volleyball team. In fact, it is because of her why I took interest in volleyball again. I only took a picture of hers since I was too shaky and nervous... And because of that, I didn't notice that her chinita eyes were closed in the picture. She didn't play though, but still very popular...

Then Rhea Dimaculangan came. She's not telegenic, but she's a lot more beautiful in person. And she's a great setter, great enough to snatch Denise Tan's minutes. And I discovered that she's pasmado... My notebook and sign pen were wet, hell I care!

And finally, Bernice Co. She's so beautiful, with or without makeup. And I made sure that I get a photograph with her signature nail polish... I forgot to tell you that she's beautiful. And she signed my notebook... YAY!

Right after I got her signature, I immediately went to Santolan to go home. I wanted to ride a bus but there's none! After a few moments, Bernice with her friends were on the same side of the road with me. Finally a bus came but it's already full. I took the Robinson jeepney, and hey, Bernice's group also rode the same jeepney. I was just too timid and shy... There was a rose vendor but I didn't took the chance...

But anyway, it's a happy day. Well, I still rank my high school blind date as my most memorable Valentine's day, but this year is a good second :D
