3 years ago, I met a guy in class. He was just visiting during a semester-end class party. 3 years ago, he picked me out of 50 something students to help him with his trick. 3 years ago, I saw magic before my very eyes and was hungry for more. 3 years ago, our very first picture was taken, exchange emails for Myspace and that was it.
The following years were quiet. Hi’s and hello’s. buzzes and what’s up. Comments on Myspace and Friendster. Nothing. Magic was slowly fading.
Month of August 2009. Magic reappeared. Picture comment boxing sessions on facebook. Wall comments. Chapters everynight. Sparks everywhere. Rainbows and butterflies. What I thought was nothing suddenly became everything to me.
Today, September 9, 2010, we’re celebrating our first year anniversary. One year old. One year of doing a long distance relationship. He’s in Florida. I’m here in Cebu City, Philippines. Exactly on the other side of the world. He visits every 3 months to recharge ourselves and help keep the faith. But this time, I’m not going to see him for 5 months. But I’m ok. Because we GOD it!
He made a video and finished his 6th book, One Year Old. Our story. He finished it in time for our anniversary. Amazed and gloriously happy! I have found my match. My soulmate. The guy I’m definitely going to spend my life with. Through gray hairs and arthritis, wrinkles and blurry vision, his hand is the one I’m going to hold without any doubts and hesitation. I found him. Yes. I am certain. Arthur Antonio aka Antino Art is the guy I’ll forever dance with in my journey.
It was September 9, 2007. The night I met him. Little did I know, 2 years after that, God was planning something. I couldn’t thank him enough. I got the best gift ever. A blessing. A miracle.
My future. My forever.
HAPPY 1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY ARTHUR ANTONIO!!!
