Friendship is the foundation of a lasting relationship.
Macmac,
It's Valentines day and I wonder what do ladies give their significant other on this occasion? Surely men give gifts like flowers, chocolates, stuffed toys, fine dinner (ehem ehem, di po ako nagpaparinig! haha) because it's men's nature to pursue their partner. But Vday is a 2-way event. I think ladies also have role to make this day special for their man aside from saying yes to a date or giving thanks for the gifts.
So here's my move to make you blush ^_^ I'm writing this blogpost to tell everyone about our love story handcrafted and written by the perfect Author himself--God.
Not everyone knows that the existence of our bond started back November 2009 in our alma mater, when you became my instructor in Broadcast Engineering. I remember mentioning about you in my journal because it was a thrill to have an instructor who recently topped one of the most difficult engineering board exams. You were as enthusiastic as a hyper machine when you teach and as honestly as I can remember, I loved it :)

1st encounter with Mac. This was my jounal entry Nov 27, 2009. Smiley means I was thankful for the item listed. :P[/caption]I recall you started calling me by my name after only about 3 class meetings and I know now that it was strange since you forget names so easily. Maybe because I was the non-stereotype bibo/epal student who caught your attention. Having you as my quiz bee coach assisting Sir Jam, I started being comfortable with you, not as stiff as I was with other instructors. More than anything else, getting close with you was a God-given opportunity to meet my prayer of helping at least one instructor get to know God. There was this sense of pleasurable responsibility over me to engage you to church. I was very glad that you were so open-hearted about God. :)
I started looking up to you then, amazed at how boldly you credit your achievements to God's deserving name in front of the class. You were even one of the few who inspired my passion to go back to campus and teach!

Prayer and fasting 2012 Day 7 in Victory Pioneer![/caption]So our instructor-student relationship (just a 1-year gap though ^_^)grew into friendship that we never knew would turn out to something even more beautiful. Different seasons in my life went on and you were there as my kuya. You supported me through important period of my life such as my board exam, job-hunting and teaching. I was there for you, too, as a little sister and more who can take charge of your petty errands in school. I enjoyed our friendship so much and I believed that that's all were ever gonna be.
Then fast forward October 2012. Three years after, our friendship developed and longed for more. I realized that during our friendship span we made mistakes individually but still our friendship endured, our bond strengthen. Although it was hard for me to accept the possibility that we can be more than friends just as a real brother remains only as a brother, there was this peace that gradually calmed my struggling heart and mind.
You persistently pursued me despite of me asking for space and time. Our courtship period was a little tough, too. It's a very serious decision for me to make if I'm gonna enter this relationship with you since I know, and you know too, that either this will bloom pleasantly or ruin our friendship. Although the non-platonic feeling towards you is already evident, I still had countless fears and doubts. But they all suddenly went away as I began to believe God's being in control of my story. And so though it was only actually more than a month, it feels like it took so long to make this decision. December 24 came you saw this video:

People often ask themselves why they love a person.
Well I can list some of the many things that I like about you.
I see a man that despite what's in the past, is being sanctified and built up in God's character. Who cares about the past anyway? What matters is who you are in the PRESENT and who you'll be in the FUTURE.
Our wavelength correspondence is a real magic (thus B1 and B2).
I find you real sexy when you are being hard-working (as in every single day) yet still finds time to check on me and send some love.
I still admire until now how you enthusiastically prepare and deliver your lectures.
I'm captured by your persistent effort even after you've "got the girl".
I'm drawn even more with your stand to involve our families in our relationship.
I smile at your discreet plans for us in the future. hihi
I'm amazed at your loyalty and how our people around you notice the difference as well. ;)
I melt with every kind word you say and how you appreciate even the weirdest corners of my personality.
Oh, need I say the obvious gorgeousness? The dance moves? The winks? Haha!
I could say a lot more but there's no need. These aren't the reason why I love you.
There's no reason why I love you. It's just that our hearts are knitted together and loving you at your best or even at your worst is so natural and easy.
I thank God that He did the knitting because for sure, what he knits can't be torn apart.
Love you bi! Happy Valentines day! Ants attack!
