Good morning to everyone! This post is not fashion related. I just want to share a private now public part of my life to all of you.
Today marks our 9th year wedding anniversary. I just want to share to all my readers how blessed I am to have my husband in my life. And All of you would not believe how I met him. This post is dedicated to him because he always supports me in everything I do, specially this blogging! Now that He became my official photographer. Thank you so much sweetie!
Back in 1999, I was attending my cousin’s birthday but I was getting bored so I thought about texting random numbers close to the last 4 digit of my cellphone number just to say hi and see who will respond back to a stranger. It was my husband’s cousin who responded to my message. She was very friendly, so we’ve been texting ever since then. Then she gave my number to (now) my sister-in-law then she gave my number to her brother (now) my husband because she said we we’re the same age.
Then he started texting me, he told me where he goes to school, where he stays and since then, he started sending me those’ cute quotes almost everyday. Which was so sweet of him. It was fun texting with him because He is a very sensible man. I didn’t feel love though, just having fun exchanging messages with him.
So, it has been 2 months texting each other. He started asking this questions “can you be my girl?” And I was just playing so I responded back right away saying “yup!” Lol. Then he asked me again “so you’re my girl now?” And I said “yup!” After that I got really scared and nervous because he started saying I love you on all his text messages after me saying yes. Then he asked me if we could meet up. It was really nervous and scared of course because I will be meeting a total stranger even though we always text each other.
I found out I was gonna be my baby brothers chaperone for his field trip. That gave me an idea that it will be a safe place to meet a stranger because we have the other school people with us. So I told him yes we can meet at the zoo, he agreed!
Yes, it was at the Manila Zoo, right in front of the big bird cage that we met for the first time. He was with his younger cousin and he doesn’t look scary. He was very pleasant and he was very nice to me and my baby brother. It was so funny meeting each other for the first time to think we are officially BF and GF technically. Then he started putting his arms around me then I gave him the look. Then he backed off and by the end of the trip he was asking for a goodbye kiss. And I said “no!” Can you see all my baby brother classmates mom? They are gonna tell my parents. Then he stopped asking.
After that, we started talking more on the phone not just texting. He really invested time, effort everything to me, then I stared falling in love with him and that was it!
He is the present, enjoying our life together with our two beautiful children.
I also wanna share some of our pictures on our anniversary, because it is close to Halloween some of them we celebrated on Halloween day 🙂
