Our journey began in an unexpected way—on a live-streaming platform back in 2020. What started as casual conversations in a virtual world turned into a genuine friendship. Even as life got busy—new jobs, priorities, and living in different countries (with him in Hong Kong and me in the Philippines)—we still kept in touch, though not as often.

Then, in January 2023, he reached out to me again with surprising news: he was planning to visit the Philippines in April and wanted to meet me in person! At first, I wasn’t sure what to think—why me? We were just friends, after all. But I decided to reply, and from there, we reconnected just like old times.

When April came, he made good on his word. Despite my busy work schedule, he traveled all the way to my hometown, Olongapo, Zambales, to see me. Together, we visited Pampanga with his family, and later I was invited to their home in Manila, where I met his family for the first time.

From that moment, everything felt so natural. What started as friendship turned into something beautiful. Now, here we are, excited to start the next chapter of our lives together!
