An Unexpected Encounter with Mark Bautista

Just felt the need to share this. Ok, this is how the unexpected encounter with Mark Bautista happened.

We went to US Embassy maybe weeks or probably months ago. We went there because we need our visa to get approved by the Embassy since we'd be migrating to America.

We've already completed all the process and we got to the waiting area before we head inside a building where you will be interviewed.

Before we took a seat, my dad asked the guy beside us if our chosen seats are already occupied. At that moment, we all have no idea that the man in front of us was Mark Bautista and we also have no clue that the guy that my dad asked was actually one of Mark's entourage.

At first, we didn't recognize him since he's wearing shades but because I have already seen him in person, I kind of had the feeling that it was Mark. But I wasn't convinced yet, he took his shades off and then BAM! It was him.

We are always next to them; in line, seats, embassy numbers, interview windows and all because his number are just a few numbers away from ours.

We finished at what I call the "Confirmation Stage" and we transferred at the next waiting are where you have to wait for your number to be called and you'll be interviewed. We were soooooo close to them because we were just sitting behind him.

He was the first one to get called and the first one to go home. And then I remembered, they were also the ones that I saw crossing the road and our car was just parked beside theirs. What a coinscidence!
