It's funny how big of an impact you have on me. It's like when I see you, you don't even have to speak...all you can do is smile, and it can make my day... → I don't know who said this :)Could you tell that I still remember my first crush? Not only that, we're still good friend up to this day. Awesome right?
For the purpose of this entry, Mr. First Crush shall be called A. I had my first crush when I was in Senior Prep; I think I was only 5 or 6.Ü I liked him for 3 years: Senior Prep + Grade 1 + Grade 2. Looking back, I definitely consider myself one lucky girl at that time because the two of us were classmates for 3 straight years! And I think that having a crush that long also tells a lot: my previous relationships counted years .. my current relationship is about to turn 8 years old in May.
Here's the funny part, after 17 years of knowing each other, it was D who told A that I used to have a crush on him. I still remember how it all happened. It was embarrassing. Back in college, the 3 of use were at a restaurant during our break and out of the blue, this conversation happened ─ just like that:
D: Hey A. Do you know that you're Russ' first crush?
R: *SHOCKED and HUMILIATED.*
A: Ahaha. Don't worry the feeling was mutual.

I wanted the earth to swallow me. I was mortified. It was such an awkward moment, but D meant well. That was like an ice-breaker and since then, there'll be times when we'd still get teased by our barkada because they all know about the "mutual crush" thing. It's all good.Ü

That is such a cute story. Since you are still friends I guess you still make each other smile.
Wow, you and D have been together a long time. He must be a good boyfriend! If he reads your blog, you can delete this comment to make sure he doesn't get a swelled head!!! =)
That cracked me up!
I'm not sure if he reads my blog, I don't ask. It's better that I don't know so I don't hold back on what I write.Ü
Lucky D for having you Russ and it's good that you're still good friends with A!!Yung iba nagkakahiyaan,nagkaka-ilangan na pag nalamang pareho kayong may crush sa isa't isa.
Thanks for the kilig feeling dear!!Parang bumata ako ng ilang years sa story mo!\(^0^)/
LOL. This makes me thankful that (1) most of my past crushes are in Manila, and (2) Jason doesn't want to go with me there (note: even though we look like twins, he's not Filipino--haha).
AWW that's so cuuuute!!!
I'm totally wowed. :D That was sweet too. ;D
ang cute :) that's a good story to tell future grandkids. heehee
Hahah, that's funny. I would be so embarrassed if that happened to me.
But I've always ended up telling whoever I crushed on 'cus I felt it'd be less awkward than someone else doing it. ><
I like the topics. Gonna go for it too. :D Thanks for recommending!
Awww..cute..mutual crush pala kayo. Lol.. some people dont remember their first crushes anymore.. I had my first crush when I was in Prep too and we're still good friends now. We even had this silly agreement during college that if we're still single by the time we reach 30-35, we'd get married. Hehe.
Haha that's so funny
I would kill my bf if he ever told my past crushes that I liked them, how embarrassing! At least the feeling was mutual =)
what a nice story. lol. funny that girls blush more than guys when a guy finds out he was the girl's crush. i dunno... just an observation.
Soooo cute! *aww-ing* I think you are the only person i know who is friends with their first crush :) *high five*
Btw.Saw ur message in my chat box, and i didn't forget it's GT time today hehe,so will write mine soon ;) It's only 10am for me so still got time :D
CLARISSA.
I'm also lucky to have D. OMG. I forgot to say that A is also our ka-barkada now. So imagine what happens when everyone's buzzed, walang katapusang pangtutukso talaga. Hahaa!
JEN.
He's not Filipino? Gah! For the looongest time, I thought he was Filipino. I'm sure most of your crushes are here :)
JENNIE.
Not just to future grandkids, it's always a story to tell. For some reason, when there's someone "new" or kasama in a gimmick, eventually somebody has to tell the "guest" our history. We have inside jokes kase in the barkada.Ö
JAY KV.
OMG. I wish I were as gutsy as you. I absolutely cannot tell another person I had a crush on him.

The topics for January are sooo cute. Yup, I'd say join in :)
VEA.
It's fun remembering who your first crush was, even funnier that you're still friends right?Ü It's super rare to keep friendships for that long.
applePIE.
Ahahaa! Oh gosh, I wasn't prepared for that situation. The most that I could do was to smile. And blush. And blush.Ö
DAWN.
Aww. It's also a mutual crush thing. Sooo cute! Yes, funny how things work.
GAB'S MOM.
Onga, parang it's automatic that girls blush a lot and guys seem to not blush. Hahaa!
what a cute story you have dear....
really, if that happens to me also for sure i will be embarrass and maybe i will not talk to them both for a couple of days hehehe..

SHENG.
I would have done that, but I didn't really have a choice. Hahaa. All's good.Ü
JOEI.
Okay lang yun.Ü I'm sure he won't mind, it's not like we're celebs so people won't really care once a new post is up. Hahaa! Natatamad ako maghanap and magscan ng old pictures.
Geez! I would feel the same way, but I know its been a long time... This is a good post
LOL. this is a first. usually the first crush will vanish on the face of the earth. :D
and your bf telling your first crush about that fact? priceless :D
