Two Sides, One Love Story
1. How did you meet?
His side: We met at Benilde, I was in junior college and she was in her sophomore year, she became my seatmate at PRINAC 1 class after she and her friends asked me to move a seat so they could all sit beside each other.
Her side: In 2016, he became our classmate in principles of accounting 1, and he became my seatmate. He was put into our block section so he didn't know anyone, my friends and I saw that he was seated already so we asked him to move one chair so we all could sit together at the very back of the classroom.
2. What was your first impression of each other?
His side: She is noisy especially with her friends, she wears pink pants and polo shirts, she was very boyish but kidding aside, she's cute & pretty.
Her side: I thought he was so quiet, and he was uninterested in class cos he was just playing clash of clans the whole time.
3. How did you start talking?
His side: During class, she asked me if she could borrow a ballpen, but I gave her pencil... then she rolled her eyes on me, and we started to laugh.
Her side: We had a seatwork and since we were sitting beside each other, we became partners. Ofcourse I was the one answering it so I had to ask his name, which led me to stalking his social media accounts haha! And eventually we became friends in snapchat which was where we started talking.
4. When and where was your first date?
His side: Whistlestop at BGC fort strip. I asked her to go with me to BGC out of nowhere, then we ordered the family sinigang bowl for just two of us hahaha
Her side: What I consider our first date was when we were in BGC and supposedly it was me, Jolo, and Elisha (my college bestie) who were going out. But Elisha came sooo late! (which I guess she really planned so the two of us could be together longer LOL), so Jolo and I ended up eating dinner together at Whistlestop at the Fort Strip.
5. When did you know this was serious?
His side: During school, before and after class, we would "secretly" meet each other at the 2nd flr cafeteria in Benilde. And also, we were already talking everyday at Snapchat, we kept on sending selfies to each other and updating each other.
Her side: When he agreed to meet my parents, then eventually met my whole family 2 months after going out.
6. Who made the first move?
His side: Her! She messaged me first asking my score at PRINAC 1. Her exact message to me was "James Reid ano score mo?" then she sent me a friend request LOL.
Her side: Of course he would say it was me cos I messaged him first, but tbh, I was just checking if he also failed the midterm exam like me hahaha. For me he made the first move cos the first time we started talking was in Snapchat, he was at Hong Kong and he kept on sending me updates and selfies out of nowhere hahaha
7. What do you love doing together?
His side: Coffee date, timezone date, movie date, and ordering food that is good for atleast 3-4pax even though it's just the two of us eating!
Her side: We love to eat! We also love trying out different coffee shops. Our favorite date place too is at Timezone and recently we enjoyed running together.
8. What do you admire most about each other?
His side: Despite her showing a strong personality and showing that she is a "strong independent person", at the same time she is very kind, caring, and thoughtful especially to the people closest to her.
Her side: Jolo is very patient with me, and I admire him for that, because I am not a patient person hahaha and even though I get frustrated easily, he calms me down. He also shows so much effort in our relationship, one example is that he doesn't mind going back and forth from Muntinlupa to Manila almost everyday as long as we get to see each other.
9. What are you most excited about in marriage?
His side: To start a family with her and put God at the center of our relationship. Finally, this is the beginning of our forever.
Her side: I am excited to have our own home, to start our own family, and create more memories
