How, Where, and Why it All Begun

"Yes, this may sound cliché, but we met back in college circa 2004. I can still remember the first time I saw him..."

 

He was sitting alone in the middle of the crowd without anyone to talk to. I even asked my friend if maybe we can invite him to join our group, but of course being the "reserved" newly high school graduate that I was back then (Yes, you read it right. I see myself as a reserved college student. But only on my first year. *wink*) I didn't dared to do it. Maybe, just maybe, I was already a little attracted to him that time (O-oh this will get him to do the "ang gwapo ko talaga face"). 

 
So to cut the long story short, we became best of friends. It started with "libre mo ako, libre kita" every day. I would buy him a snack today, then the next day it's his turn, be it a biscuit, ice cream, or junk food. Then we started to hang out almost every day, one of us can't be seen without the other. People at school thought we were a couple, only to find out that we aren't. It came to a point where I was beginning to feel the pressure of others expecting us to be a couple. Although it didn't really bother me that much it still makes me feel a little awkward whenever someone says "Bakit di pa maging kayo?" or "Kayo ba?" Oh I really hate those questions because I was just happy to be with him and for me it doesn't really matter, we're having fun without any labels. 

 
Okay, maybe I lied a little on the "it really doesn't matter" part because c'mon I'm just a girl. Of course I don't want to be seen as a "friend" only (in short "friendzoned"), specially when I am starting to have feelings for him. I'm fine being the only girl in his life, the only one he talks to about stuff that he doesn't normally talk about with other girls. I'm fine being the girl that easily laughs with his silly jokes. I'm even fine doing all the girlfriend duties for him. But I don't want it to be "just" that. Of course I want the whole package, the commitment. 

I started to feel that way when we were about to graduate. A lot of things happened and it just made me want to badly know if he felt the same way towards me.On our last year in college, we had a long talk about "us." That's when we both poured out all our feelings for each other. We came to an agreement that once I receive my diploma we will be officially a couple. I think our professor knew about our deal because right after I went down the stage, they were all saying "Finally you two are a couple." It was very overwhelming and I was so touched. 

So yeah, a lot had happened in the past 6 or 10 years. But this blog will start documenting our life together right after he proposed. That would be a very exciting post for later. Our love story may be a little predictable, but whatever, I wouldn't change a thing, it was worth all the wait!
