Our Love Story

“From ‘Ma’am, Ako na Maghawak ng Bag Mo’ to ‘I Do’” 💖

It all started with my little brown bag.

No grand gesture, no movie moment , just my trusty little brown bag and one very persistent underclassman named Bryan.

We were in Bicol then. I was preparing to report to Mindanao as the newly assigned Executive Officer of SMAC. Somehow, Bryan already knew I was there (thanks to his mista who sent our picture to their group chat 😉). And just like that, one simple message appeared on my phone:

“Posissss mammmm, dito ka sa Bicol, mam?”

That one message was all it took for our story to begin.

That same night, we went out with my mistas, underclassmen, and friends, at syempre kasama ang main character na si Bryan🤓. Then came the moment that started it all. Out of nowhere, he said:

“Ma’am, ako na maghawak ng bag mo.”

Char! Para-paraan si dodong!

My little brown bag... Who knew that a simple offer to carry it would end up carrying my heart, too? 😅

Grabe makatingin, ha! Ayun na, nainlab na siya, woot wooooot! Gwapa ako? 👻

And just like that, yun na ‘yun.

From that small, sweet gesture, everything started to fall perfectly into place.

After that Bicol encounter, he reported back to Mindanao too (destiny much?). And then came the messages again, ayun na naman siya! One brave underclassman who just wouldn’t stop chatting me. One message turned into daily conversations, then into dates… until, before we knew it, we were officially us. 💞

Now, years later, we’re still holding on, not to the little brown bag, but to each other.

We’ve shared laughter, distance, challenges, and countless memories… and now, we’re finally writing the next chapter of our love story.

Magpapasakal… este, magpapakasal na kami! ❤️
