I'm 53. I can't remember what I did last Tuesday, but in 7th grade Vallerie Villar at Wheeler Elementary School on Oahu and I shared a math class. I was head over heels for her. I was brimming with 10 year old's hormones, and Romeo and Juliet had nothing on the love I had for this girl - forget the fact we'd never spoken. One day the HomeEc teacher had us make lumpia. I'd found my second love and ate 2 of the 3 pieces we'd each made.

I saved the 3rd for the next class, and Vallerie sat to my right. I worked up the courage to say hi to her after months and made my offering a dead pinky-finger looking lumpia and she accepted the gift, ate it and gave me a 'thanks'. And that's it. Never spoke to me again.

I still love lumpia though.
