Our Love  Story

Our love story started from a distance. Ako, nag-aaral sa Bicol. Siya naman, nasa Manila. Pareho kaming college noon, parehong nangangarap, parehong busy sa sariling mundo. Hindi namin alam na sa simpleng “hi” sa chat magsisimula ang habang-buhay.


Hindi siya yung parang fairy tale na bigla na lang may sparks at grand gestures. Simple lang ang simula namin texts, chats, late night conversations na unti-unting naging highlight ng araw namin. Walang pressure. Walang pilitan. He didn’t rush me. Instead, he showed consistency, patience, at genuine intentions. And that meant everything to me.


Unang beses kaming nagkita in person during my internship in Manila. Doon kami nagkaroon ng chance na mag-usap talaga, face to face. At doon ko mas nakita kung sino siya, sa thoughtful gestures niya, sa steady presence niya, at sa paraan ng pag-show up niya lalo nasa mga pinakamahirap kong araw. Doon ko napatunayan kung gaano siya kaseryoso.


After a year, I finally said “yes.” Hindi lang dahil masaya ako kundi dahil I felt safe. I felt seen. And most of all, I felt chosen.


Hindi naging madali ang long-distance relationship, lalo na seaman siya. Loving him meant learning to love the distance too. Ilang buwan na magkahiwalay. Mahinang signal. Magkaibang time zone. At yung lagi mong bina-bilang ang araw hanggang sa susunod na uwi niya. Pero kasama din doon ang pagmamahal sa isang lalaking nagsisikap hindi lang para sa sarili niya, kundi para safuture namin.


For 9 beautiful years, natutunan namin na ang love hindi lang puro sweet words at butterflies. It’s choosing each other kahit may misunderstandings. It’s growing through challenges. It’s deciding every single day na manatili, magpatawad, at mag-build ng future together.


Hindi man kami perfect, pero we are deeply committed to each other. And this… this is only the beginning of our forever.
