I don't usually do this, but today is a special day for the both of us, Maan and I. Today we are celebrating our 7th year. 

We started out as textmates, thanks of course to my dear friend Kriselle. and then one day, when nothing really special was going on, while on my way to the dentist with my cousin, I saw her. She's was right there at the corner, standing as if she was waiting for me to say hello (hahaha. but of course it was not me she was waiting for). 

I saw her instantly. She was wearing a black shirt with big red lips on the front. (no, she's not an attention freak, quite the opposite actually) From that first glance until I passed by where she was standing, I just could not take my eyes off of her. And then right before I rode the jeepney, I saw that she was with Kriselle and then I realized that she was the girl I was talking to everyday. I immediately texted Kriselle and said: " was that her? she's cute."  hahaha.

After that, we would talk on the phone every single day like there's no tomorrow and our conversations would last until early morning, right before the sun would rise. she was so humble and we would have intlelligent conversations every single night. and that's when I started to feel that she is the right one for me. 

And then one day, Kriselle told me that they will be meeting up and that Maan doesn't have someone to go out with since Kriselle would be with her boyfriend that day. I gladly took the chance to go out with her. I felt kinda stupid when we first met. We just looked at each other while the others were eating and I remember not being able to contain my happiness while I was sitting in front of her that day. 

Then night falls. we we're talking on the phone and it suddenly hit me: if what i feel right now isn't love then what is it? I couldn't describe it in any other way. I felt my heart pounding and my blood rushing just about in every area you could imagine. And that night, we officially became a couple.

If there was a time that i really won't forget, it was when she turned 18, the first time i saw her wearing a gown. as lovely as she was that day, my heart was filled with greater joy just seeing her so happy. it was also my first time to be an escort. I never thought I would get an opportunity like that and it meant a lot to me.

From then on, we would always spend time together. I would fetch her at school and we would go home together almost everyday. i love everything she does. she likes surprises and she would always find ways to surprise me, although most of the time I would always find out about it beforehand. hahaha. 

Many things have happened since then. we've  had our ups and downs like almost every lovers do. but inspite of everything, I love her so much and I could never think of any other person that could meet my expectations. She's everything I ever  wanted for in a wife. 

as our wedding gets nearer, I find myself realizing how proud I am that she's mine and that no one else could ever replace her. A lady with full determination in keeping our love alive. I know no one else but her who greatly sticks to the word commitment. So loving and thoughtful and is always dedicated to please me in the minutest of details.

I love her so much and she loves me right back. 
I really cannot wait for the day of our wedding, the day I can finally call her my wife.
