![]() ![]() Love Story NOTHING HERE

If I can't be trusted, she wouldn't even think of marrying me, right girls?

If he isn't good in sugar-coating then how do you suppose did I say yes to his proposal? (duh!)
--Bennette
Mendiola... A traffic congested thoroughfare in Manila, full of happy memories.
I was a 3rd year college 'hunk' at San Beda and Bennette was a
graduating 'lass' at Holy Spirit. No, it wasn't a love at first sight
(well at least not for me!) in fact we started-off as friends. We
were both Management majors and our school orgs had some joint
activities. She became a close friend of Ritchie then she invited
our class to their rest house in Baguio (north of Manila) for the sem break
of '91. Being the bestfriend that I am, Ritchie naturally wanted
me to come along. I still remember me telling them that's I'll be
the happiest person in the world if they'll go on steady. That time
in Baguio was when I got to know Bennette real well. Chit-chats,
talking and laughing the night away, sight seeings then one thing
led to another, yadda... yadda... yadda... well let me put it this way,
we went up to Baguio with me seated alone while the two of them were chatting in the bus the whole time (six hours tops!). Then, we went down
with Ritchie seated alone. You got the picture?!
I knew then that she had a BIG crush on me when she began visiting
our campus more often just to see me. I was 'committed' to someone
else that time (and Benz knew that!) so I wasn't lovey-dovey with her
so that she wouldn't get the wrong impression. But being the flirt that
I am, I'd accompany her home and would even call her almost every
night (and our house didn't have a phone then!).
Finally, I figured that I had to take a stand and tell my
girlfriend (my ex and not Bennette, stupid!) we're not for each other
(don't feel bad, she's happily married-with-children for years now!).
On Bennette and her friend Michelle's grad party, (that's March '92)
I finally told her how I felt. Needless to say, she answered yes!
Now you're asking why 1-0-2-6?!! Well we felt we really started then.
We both knew at the very beginning that we're for each other, loud and
clear. We started playing our parts before I could blurt out 'THE'
dialogue...
WAIT!!! Below is a Sci-fi story, for fiction fanatics...
Now that you've taken a side already, it's just about time to open the door to either of our personal page. Be on the right track and don't be left out!
(note: one of these sites' NOT worth visiting yet! guess...)
