~ How we met?

2003 January. Dahil sa cheering practice, i was in charged and they're freshmen students who are forced to join... He called me night of January 12, asking me if gusto niya maging kami (i automatically fell in love with the guts!). At that time, we don't know each other's name, interest or whereabouts... we're just college students who happened to be in the same Department (Engineering). We don't even have common friends at that time.

2002 December. I don't know what motivation ang binigay sakin pero bigla na lang gusto kong tapusin ang 9 na simbang gabi. Mga friends ko inaalok na akong sumama papuntang Boracay all-expense-paid pero ang pagiging kaladkarin ko nawala because i don't want to miss a single Simbang gabi. Natapos ko ang 9 mornings pero di ko alam na pwede daw mag wish at magkakatotoo. So wala lang, I asked "Sana there's this someone I can call my own... Someone who will stand by me all my life!" Little did i expect, He's giving me more than that.

I usually save all my wants in my Phone Drafts, night of 12 January 2003 pauwi from practice, i composed a message on my phone this line, adressed to GOD (I have my virtual GOD's number in my Phone):

"Sana siya na nga yung binigay mo... Sana siya na nga yung hiihiling ko" I was refering sa kanya, but at that time i don't even know kung ano ang preference niya or kung gusto niya ako, or kung may paki-alam ba siya sa akin. We are totally on a different point of the world. Stranger siya sa akin, at ganun din ako sa kanya... All i know is, crush siya ng mga kaibigan ko.

I asked for a sign... sabi ko "if tatawag siya pag dating ko sa bahay... siya na nga"

Nagbubukas pa lang ako ng gate,tumutunog na ang phone ko.. tumatawag na siya.
