LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! Young Mele Mel.... 1991..
  Yeah.. that was a long time ago.. There was a Golds Gym In IB, guys remember that? I also met the love of my life at the famous Hotel Del Coronado. Yes, I was a Security agent / Security Dispatcher and / play boy / flirt. I think i dated most of the filipinas and white girls at that place. But one day while I was chatting with a girl.. in the Parking lot of the Hotel.. by the Human resource office.. Here's comes this petite , cute , curly haired young girl wearing tight blue jeans and a Disney land sweater. I was in love. I even told the girl at the Parking kiosk, that's going to be my wife.. I love her. I gonna marry her.. The girl said. " what?' You don't even know her name, if she's married , or has kids , or what? I said " I don't care,,, I gonna make her my wife.. Strange or simply I knew for the first time in my life I wanted her and I was going to do whatever it took and for however long it was gonna take.. And .. Guys.. it did take a while. she would not accept my invites , my flirty cues or even my personal interactions at the Hotel.. I think and probably rightly so.. She was afraid of me.. I mean I was a cocky young man.. great condition , great looking hair. wore great form fitting suits and love to talk.. But finally I cornered her in the Parking lot and said " Whats up? Why don't you want to go out with me? She said " I already have a boy friend.. I said.. Ok.. Lets make a deal.. Go out with me once.. if you don't like how I am.. than I will never bother you again.. She thought about it , and finally said yes.. I was so happy.. We went to dinner , at the Crown room.. and got a little embarrassed because we walked out before paying for the wine .. well. I kinda knew what I was doing.. but ok.. we pay for the expensive wine.. i think it was more than the dinner.. But anyways, we went dancing at confetti's.. we had a blast.. and Then within a short period of time.. She broke it off with her boyfriend.. and wam boom bam< I'm with the greatest women I ever knew.. She is an angel. She knows how to cook , clean and advise me.. sure she's alot younger than I am.. But It doesnt matter, I love her and and I'm glad I didn't quit on pursuing her. My life has changed forever and from that I have two handsome and entertaining and smart sons Brandon Lee and  Martin = affectionately call him Smarty Marty.. so Happy Valentines day to the love of my life Mona.. and I thank God , for sending her to save my life .. I'm truly blessed to have her and her wonderful family " THE AUSTRIA'S... " I LOVE YOU ALL..
