Stephano and I went to college together, but back then, I wasn’t such a big fan of his.  It was over something really trivial, but I pegged him as someone he wasn’t and held onto that notion all throughout school and for 10 years thereafter, but the universe had different things in store for us because we kept bumping into each other. First, at my brother’s graduation 2 years after our own.  His sister & my brother went to the same college together just as we did.  What are the odds?  So, I bumped into him at a party during the graduation weekend.  If I recall correctly, we hardly had much to say to each other, but my dad thought it was a Kodak moment and took a picture of us. I’m so glad he did because I love that picture. A few years later, we ended up hanging out together one Friday night when I was visiting friends in NYC over Valentine’s Day weekend.  We hung out all night, but we hardly spoke to each other again.    Fast forward to 2004, Stephano sent me a friendster note saying he’s moving to VA from NY and wanted to catch up.  It was such an unexpected, but pleasant surprise.  It wasn’t until then that we finally started to get to know each other and everything somehow seemed so different.  And the rest as they say is history.
