In 2002, I met Mitzi (Michihisa Asai) at Nihon Fukushi University, Mihama-cho, Aichi Japan. I had an opportunity to participate in the NFU-UP exchange program kasama ang anim pang mga ka-batch sa CSWCD. Mitzi was one of the NFU student volunteers who assisted us during our stay. He played the guitar and sang Sukiyaki during the cultural night. Jamming pa sila ni Bijo noon who sang Torete.
In 2003, nakilala ko naman si Chelo (Chelo Mori), Japanese exchange student naman siya sa UP that time. Naging kaklase ko sa isang course sa Educ.
Akalain mong naging mag-asawa sila? Nakilala ko sila on two separate occasions years before sila magkakilala.
Chelo went back to the Philippines for graduate studies. At noong Aug 20, 2011, Mitzi came to Manila para sabay na sila ni Chelo sa pagbalik sa Japan on Aug 27.
Nag-reunion dinner kami sa Greens sa Sct. Castor kasama si Peachy, isa rin sa mga nakilala ni Mitzi noon sa NFU.
