Berna, 3rd day of work. Photo taken at SGV e-Cafe
To our dearest,
They say that when you enter SGV, it's either your current relationship will not last due to the workload or you'll find love from the unlimited trauma bonding you spend with your colleagues...
For us, it was the latter.
We both have zero intentions of seeking love in SGV, we were just trying to survive. But God has His own way of writing people's love story... including ours.
Paolo, CDO Field Work
2017 (July - September)
We started out as colleagues, turned friends, turned Friday night buddies together with our batchmates, we didn't see each other as anything special. It was always just a weekly night cap at Rewind or at Central with everyone.
Within short three months, Joan, has also been teasing me on how cute we are together if Pao and I were a couple...
"Ang cute nyo talaga! Pareho kayong KPOP fan, ang cute nyo tignan"
I would casually just brush this off thinking that Paolo was already in a "pseudo" relationship (whatever that is 🤣)
Things changed when the fire nation attacked
Things changed after a night out at Plantation in September 2017. For some reason, Paolo held my hand throughout the night (and for some reason, I held his) and the rest is history!
2017 - 2023
While our official courtship was short, we worked together to keep things going, as what Paolo always says -- relasyon ang pinapatagal hindi ligawan
After three months of knowing each other, we both took a leap and see where fate would take us. Years of learning each other's love languages, each other's trauma and trying to heal together, each other's highs, lows, and everything in between. We were blessed with each family's blessing and approval of our relationship, realizing things are falling into place and making sense of what we went through in our younger years.
Our relationship isn't a ride in the park, but it was definitely a worthy one
11 October 2023
After 6 years of choosing each other, Paolo finally put a ring on it!
In our favorite place, on our 6th anniversary, Paolo said...
"Legit!"
"Ano? Will you marry me?"
Truly a man of few words 😂
See you on October 10, 2025!
