A Moment to Remember

You know that surprised feeling when a totally unexpected thing happens to you that you just don't know how you're gonna react to it? That's how I felt earlier. Actually, I was in a state of shock, disbelief and overflowing joy. Mixed emotions, ika nga.
Why? Well, you wouldn't believe who we bumped into last night! (Hint: He's an Azkal player :D) I didn't expect to see him at the UFL Cup opening ceremony yesterday kasi nga kakatapos lang ng game nila against Singapore the other day (Hint #2: Tapos injured pa siya) so when my friend, Mel and I saw him, napatili kami ng "Chieffy!" nang slight. Hahaha!
Yez, that's Chieffy Caligdong, the 2011 Long Teng Cup Golden Boot Awardee no less!! So you could just imagine that surprised, starstruck-ed feeling we felt that time! Waaaaaah!!!
We were on our way home when we saw him. Naka-mizuno jersey, shorts at cap lang siya. Sobrang simple. We congratulated and shook hands with him before leaving. Parang nagmamadali sya. Papunta sya sa gate ng RMS, kami naman papuntang LRT station. I thought the story ended there... But wait there's more! :D
Mel and I were talking about the brief experience pa when we saw Chieffy again! Nasa Vito Cruz na kami nun sa tapat ng Starbucks! Haha! Ambilis nya maglakad! We called him and thankfully, nakilala nya kami! Weee! Then, he invited us to have snack with him! Nakakahiya pero nakakahiya din syang tanggihan. Hahaha. So we ended up eating at Jollibee. He treated us cheeseburger meal and he bought fried chicken with spaghetti for himself. While eating with him, di pa din ako makapaniwala na kausap ko sya at kumakain ako kasama nya. Di ko nga nakain yun cheeseburger eh. Haha!

Sabi nya, kami daw unang taong nakasama nya after their trip to Singapore. Sobrang flattering! Answerte namin!! :p Then, pauwi we took the LRT. He said that was the first time after a long time that he rode the train. I feel so lucky and flattered that I get to share that experience with him. :)
During that moment with him, dami naming napagkwentuhan: from his kids, wife, parents, plans and the team. Haha. Makwento sya to think na it was our first time to talk to him. Nakakatuwa. He doesn't choose the people he talk to. Feeling ko mas lalo ko syang nakilala.

Chieffy is sooo bait, sobrang down to earth and very approachable! No wonder a lot of people look up to him and idolize him! Idol, saludo ako sayo! Iba ka! I will never ever forget this day! Thank you Chief sa snack, kwentuhan at sa autograph! Unforgettable experience! Sana maulit! :D
