I used to have Tinder, Bumble, Grindr (yes, it's also a dating app). But I never had any success story from these apps.

But for a few months, I've been talking to a guy I've met on Twitter. I find him cute and interesting, but I know I'm not conventionally attractive enough...
...so I didn't expect anything—I just enjoyed what we had—at least I had someone to talk to, especially after a long day from work, and someone to hang out with.

In fact, he even told me that he wouldn't want to date me.

And I was like, "Okay. Sanay naman akong ma-reject at mag-isa."

Then one day, after I came back from Tacloban, I went to España (o diba traveling is my passion talaga), we had lunch together and went to Katipunan. We spent the rest of the day together...
...walked around, had coffee (syempre, kilig naman ako kasi for the first time after n years/months, may kasama akong cute tapos para kaming nagde-date pero ayaw niya raw akong i-date so I really tried to shrug anything off like "Gem Celestial huwag kang marupok")
Then, I had to leave na kasi uuwi pa ako ng Elbi that night tapos hinatid niya ako sa sakayan (e deep inside siya naman talaga ang gusto kong sakyan charot not charot).

Pag dating ko ng Elbi, nag-chat siya ng "I miss you" (ako naman, "Ano kayang kailangan neto?")
Then, he told me that he had something to say. I was already expecting that he would tell me that we should stop talking/seeing each other for whatever reason/s he had.

Unexpectedly, he told me that all this time, he already had feelings for me. Juskolorde. Sure na ba siya?
So we decided to give it a try. We talked more, went out more.

Then one night, he asked me if I could be his Paskuhan date. Tangina feeling ko ako si Liza Soberano noon sa Alone/Together. Pero more like, lisa lang ako ni Liza.
Bilang marupok ako, umoo naman ako. Pero hindi naman ako umasa na matutuloy kasi malayo pa ang Paskuhan noon.

Weeks before Paskuhan weren't easy for the two of us—he was busy reviewing for his quizzes/exams, and I had work.
Then Paskuhan. I woke up with an LBM so I low-key panicked that I might not make it that night.

Buong araw, para akong naghaharing uri na nakaupo sa trono. Buti na lang, effective 'yung pag-inom ko ng Diatabs (not a sponsored tweet). Pero problema ko naman noon, traffic. 🙃
Sa awa naman ng Diyos, natuloy naman kaming mag-Paskuhan.

Tapos habang nagpe-perform ang Ben&Ben, hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at tinanong niya ako ng, "Gem, will you be my boyfriend?"
