July 18, 1997. After almost a year of always being together (in groups), he took me on our first dinner date on this day.
Nobody knew then that there was ‘us’ already. It wasn’t easy at first. There were other women in his life at that time. One (MRB) openly showed her affection for him making everyone in the group think that it was ‘them’ somehow. Second (MB), felt that since he once visited her in her house (I think that was fiesta time in their area), he had feelings for her already. The third one (JB) was still her girlfriend at that time but she lives way up north of the country so they seldom see each other.
Then things just fell on their respective positions. MRB left the company, worked in Manila but still kept in touch with him until he decided to stop it already. She was furious. She tried all imaginable tactics just to win him especially when she found out that he was dating me already. She sent him letters, notes, gifts, emails. There was even one time she came at our workplace so late at night just to see him. To think she lived about 2.5 hours away from our workplace. She was practically stalking him. She is still in love with him until now. At least this is what she claims in her blog. MB on the other hand also left the company a year after MRB left. She just disappeared but I won’t forget that day when I met her in Crossing and she snobbed me. Oh well, that's understandable. JB’s case - this he had to take care of personally. He drove 7 hours to see and finally broke up with her.
Our relationship went deeper after that. I knew he was serious about me when he finally decided to introduce me to his mom. Then he took me to his brother’s house in Paranaque. Then to his cousin’s house in Ayala-Alabang. His mom, his brother and his cousin. All played really important roles in his life.
He is now my husband. We got married on his birthday and we’ve been married 4 years. Still, we celebrate our Anniversary #1. We talked a lot about it while still in bed this morning. It was fun reminiscing those unforgettable moments. We haven't decided where we should go tonight. I hope I can take pictures.
Happy 10th anniversary honey, I love you!
