Cherry Blossoms Dating Site

" The worst thing is holding on to someone who doesn't want to be held on to"

As we all know that everybody need someone to be with in life ^...^ And its my pleasure to share about our story in life.

Past is already past and you learned something from it.

Everything happened in my life is dated and stored it on my mind.

Last Feb 18, 2007 I started to work in Star Alex Internet Cafe in Maguikay, Mandaue City , Cebu City, Philippines ... I'm allowed to use the server for chatting, surf net unless I can manage my other task. I decided to join another dating site called blossoms (http://www.blossoms.com/) March 16, 2007 I had my registration in blossoms and I started to find nice guy , sent smiles or emails , to say hi , hello , how are you? lol until I saw Anthony's profile and his photo with a very sweet smile. I sent him a smile on the same day just incase he would response.  Thanks God , on March 18 I received an email from him ,

Hello, allow me to apologize for not responding sooner. I am sorry. He said

His display picture in blossoms "gwapo"

March 28 2007 I received an LBC package from him... hmmmmm, it was his first bday gift... guess what his gift? We continued our chats, exchange emails, he fixed his flight , April 30 2007 was his arrival in Mactan Cebu International Airport about 12:45pm but I was there 12:15pm waiting him to pick him up and escort him going to Nikkei Garden Hotel where we stay together for one month... I had mixed emotions/feelings on that day, nervous, don't know what to do, Very excited to see and hold him in person ... oh! He's coming in exit door, wow , he's very handsome , he's just a baby , gwapo as in gwapo ... I was too shy to hold him,heheheh, he was very humot to smell ... so addicted after huging and short convo we rode taxi to Nikkei Garden Hotel in Hernan Cortes Street, Subangdaku, 6014 Mandaue City (Cebu)Philippines .

OUR VERY FIRST PHOTO TOGETHER

April 30, 2007 at Nikkei

He met my friends and my employer . It was a nice moment on that time... One night we talked about our life and marriage and etc. We planned for a simple engagement party before his flight to states but some of our friends suggested that engagement party and civil wedding seems same cost so we changed our mind to get ready for civil wedding... He called his family in States to inform about our future civil wedding and I did the same to my family too, both families agree of our plan. May 14 2007 was the Election Day in Philippines for Mayors and other officials so he got his legal capacity on May 16 2007 in Waterfront Hotel, Lahug , Cebu city as one of the requirements to marry .
