Fast Forward

Today marks our “first date” anniversary (if there’s such a thing!). I don’t want to be sentimental but I always reminisce this 10th of November 2007. It’s because this day then changed everything in my world (well perhaps in his too!). I’m claiming that this Disneyland adventure with him (and bien, as our third wheel) was the turning point in my life.

I must admit he’s an amazing conversationalist but that’s about it. His appeal was quite ordinary, he's dressed in the usual jeans, shirt, and sneakers (while I was complete with my scarf and Uggs). I thought he was kind of conceited then and very much the suplado-type. He won’t even budge in even if I begged him to pose solo for the camera. We started that way. Me, being my “feeling-close” yet sarcastic self and him, having this look that said he couldn’t believe he’s stuck with us for the whole day in the happiest place on Earth! Not even in my wildest dream that I guessed we’d click.

But three years after, here we are now in our best state yet. We’re married and expecting our little one in less than two months – in my mind, how crazy life could really get? Seriously.
