the captain

i knew that i was part of the offertory group in White Mommy and Black Daddy's wedding. so i really made it a point not to be late. but i was still late. but that's not the story.

according to the misalette, the offertory group consists of 3 pairs (a guy and a girl = pair). and i would carrying the fruits.

i knew waaaaaaaaay back that my partner would be Benjo. though he may not know me, but i do know what he looks like. i've seen him once during White Mommy's baby shower late last year. but that's not the story.

out of the 3 guys, only Benjo showed up. all 3 of us girls showed up. that kinda made the wedding organizers panic a little bit. and this is where all the surprise started.

after a little bit of rearranging, Benjo carried the 2 candles instead of the fruits. the 2 other girls carried the flowers (?!) and i was still stuck with the fruits.

surprise surprise!!! my instant partner was Alvin Patrimonio. yep, my partner was The Captain of PBA, nonetheless.

ALL of my officemates where staring at me and giggling while i was walking down the aisle. i was so humiliated. they were even taking pictures. ugh! but i was smarter, i raised the fruit basket high enough so that it would cover my face. no more camera tricks!

so i walked fast enough (one step of his = 2.5 steps for me) and zoomed straight to the altar. and next thing i knew, the offertory procession was over and done with. whew!

when i returned to my place, my officemates were still giggling. oh great!!!!! *rolls eyes* they even scolded me for covering my face!! *whatever*

i know some people would die of envy if they knew i was Alvin Patrimonio's offertory partner. but i wasn't amused. on the other hand, its one story i'll never forget ü

my all-time favorite tennis player is pete sampras

he's been missing in action for months already. i've grown tired of reading the sports news which says he's skipping the next tournament. finally, official words from one of the greatest tennis players EVER: he's going to officially retire at the U.S. Open.

i'm going to watch the ceremonies. i think it'll be an affair to remember for all of his fans.

P.S. Nice read - Pete Sampras moments
