Lucy Torres posts throwback photo, shares kilig reason behind her lovely smile

Leyte Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez this week shared a photo that "she never knew existed" from a shampoo commercial shoot in Lake Caliraya. 

In the photo, Lucy is gleaming as a "totally in love" 18-year-old wearing a long white dress — and very giddy, as Richard Gomez was on the set and she revealed that she's been crushing on him since she was 12!

 

I never knew this photo existed until I became his wife. This was taken in 1993, in Lake Caliraya where we shot the second storyboard of our Lux Shampoo TV commercial. Here, I am all of 18 years old, in a long white dress, and totally in love with him (well, since I was 12, actually????). The latter, of course, no one knew except for my sister Caren who was with me as my chaperone. Anyway. This was Day 2 of our shoot, the morning was hot but the wind was cool, the lake sparkled like a bed of diamonds under the golden sunlight. I remember seeking shade under some tree during the break, and people from the production house and agency were taking behind-the-scenes shots. And somewhere far away from the crowd, there was Richard —— tall, dark, handsome, and perfect, in khaki shorts and a shirt, his professional camera with him. I looked towards him, and seeing that his camera was pointed somewhere in my direction I smiled for him, never mind if I did not know for sure it was I that he saw in those lens. Years later, in 1998, I married him to live happily ever after, and as a very new bride organizing our things in our home, I saw this photograph in a drawer. He says he has kept it all along, and that I look beautiful. And if indeed I do, my love, it is only because I was looking at you.♥? @richardgomezinstagram

Amid all this, Lucy spotted far away from the crowd the "tall, dark, handsome, and perfect" Richard, wearing "khaki shorts and a shirt, his professional camera with him."

"I looked towards him, and seeing that his camera was pointed somewhere in my direction I smiled for him, never mind if I did not know for sure it was I that he saw in those lens," Lucy continued.  

Five years later, she found the photo in their home.
