my SATC moment

im now on SATC Season 6 but i still remember a Season 5 episode when Carrie met Jack Burger at the publishing house. instant chemistry between two writers. from that meeting at the office they spent the time at the park, talking some more.

i remember how coquettish Carrie was as she was being introduced to Jack. kilig moment.

and now back to my reality.

my friend told me last night that we were going to have lunch Sunday with other friends of his, one of which was a Pinoy PLU couple and a Chinese American.

the sweet couple arrived first at the dimsum rest and we had a nice chat. 20years of being together! and they look like they still enjoy each other so much.

chinese american arrived last. wow. he didnt look chinese at all. and yes, he was wow. tall, lean and quite cute (not necessarily drop-dead gorgeous) anyway, at first, he was paying more attention to the others, only because they've been hanging out together.

anyway, as the lunch progressed, he was turning me to me, indulging in some small talk. and i was liking the moment, pa-simple na lumalandi but i didnt want to be too obvious.

after lunch, we were all going our separate ways. he was going to the gym, i was going to hear Mass, friend and the couple also had their activities. one of the couple volunteered to show me the way to the church, cutting through HK park. i was pretty confident i'd find my way, though, because i had a map.

but eventually, they talked chinese american to accompany me so i wouldnt get lost. and he didnt seem to hesitate. so my kilig is like starting to grow as we were left alone.

the stroll on a nice balmy sunday afternoon in HK park was starting to acquire a different flavor. as we walked by the pathways, we got to talking, chatting and having fun. he volunteered to do a detour to explore the nicer parts of the park (the conservatory, the aviary). and he didnt seem to be in any hurry to go to the gym anymore.

funny sundays in the park had a lot of newly-wedded couples having their pictures taken. as in brides in FULL bridal gear with husbands in black tuxedoes posing for the cameras. we probably saw about 5 couples. sheesh. this walk was turning so much more romantic.

the highlight was when he volunteered to accompany me hiking in the 'natural' sceneries of HK, the other side of HK as he calls it. we were going to keep in touch to finalize plans.

ok, ok. its no date but hell, its still kilig to imagine that it could be. im just so carrie at that moment, relishing that walk in the park, and romanticizing that hike.

babaw no? wala lang. sarap lang magpantasya.
