As a big kdrama buff back in the day, I always wanted to have my meet-cute and the universe did not disappoint. You know in rom-com films where this quirky and silly girl with poor taste in fashion meets a cute guy in glasses and everything around them just slows down and it suddenly feels like it's just the two of them in the world? Cringe, I know, but that's what it was like.

I've known Mat since we were first year. I mean, who wouldn't know him? He was always in our school pageants, plays, and in math competitions, He was even in a band! So when the chance finally came through a mutual friend who introduced us to each other, I tried to play it cool and established a conversation by asking about a game that I heard he liked.

He started talking about it while I stood there, staring at him while nodding my head, pretending to understand when I absolutely had no idea what he was saying. When he stopped talking, still had no idea what he talked about, I wanted to impress him so I replied "Wow, gusto ko nga bumili niyan sa National kasi nakikita ko meron sa games section". I knew I gave it away when he laughed so hard about what I said because he was apparently talking about an online war game involving actual flying fighter planes and helicopters. We eventually started to hang out and became the best of friends with me mostly bothering him on non-school days through calling him on the phone, not realizing we've spent 3 hours talking about the most random of things.

From what I thought was going to be a platonic friendship with one secretly liking the other (hulaan niyo na lang sino lol), we eventually realized that we wanted to be more than friends and the rest, as they say, is history.

Since that day, I always feel like I am living a life out of kdrama when I'm with him (most days lol). He still talks about very technical stuff but now to make me sleep.

Can't wait to share the rest of our story with all of you on our wedding day! :)
