One day of October, 2014, I had a dinner with the six student journalists of Ang Gatdula, official Filipio school paper of San Jose National High School,at Robinson's mall, Cainta, Rizal before commuting to Rodriguez, Rizal.
I was window shopping near the scalator while waiting for the students who dropped by the rest room when one of them hastily came to me to ask who was that 'persoonality' being scorted by three guards to the elevator.
To be honest, I didn;t recognize him immediately but I thouoght he was ssomebody, most probably, David Pomeranz, the renowned American artist- singer and songwriter, performer and composer. and it was confirmed few minutes later.
I hurriedly approached him with my students in tow and asked for photo op as he was about to step in the elevator.
He paused, smiled and indulged us.
He even patiently watched and waited for me as I dug my stuff full bag for my digicam.
After introducing my students, he asked where we've been and when he learned that we came from a 'contest' and had some awards, he congratulated each of them.
About five minutes later after our treasured personal encounter, my students enjoyed a free David Pomeranz' concert where the Operation Smile Celebrity Ambassador amazingly performed some of his beautiful songs like Born for You, King & Queen of Hearts, Got to Believe in Magic and others.
It was indeed an unforgettable beautiful day with David Pomeranz!
The simple but decent dinner was actually sponsored by the school because we just came from the awarding ceremony of Division Schools' Press conference where we bagged some awards.
