A quick update of what's happening in my life these past couple of weeks.
About a month ago, on July 19th, 2023, I was doing a live stream on TikTok while listening to music and asking some viewers to request any song they'd like to listen to. Then, this man joined my live stream and requested for a couple of songs. We got to talk -- he is funny and I like how he laughs. He definitely caught my attention.
We continued on talking and I really like his vibes. I didn't expect we'd become close and that I'd eventually catch feelings for him. I was comfortable with being single then, but there was something irresistible about him.
I met him for the first time on July 25th, around 8:30pm. Earlier that day, he told me that he has been sick for a few days. So, I offered to give him some medicines and that I can bring them to his workplace. He refused and I was disappointed because a part of me has been wanting to meet him in person so bad. But after his work, he went to my place to pick up the medicines. And yes, we finally met. I met his older brother, cousin, and one of his friends, too. I was excited and kind of worried too - that he might not talk to me anymore or as much as we used to talk. But it was a fun night. We shared stories over a couple of beer cans.
We became closer, unending voice/video calls — while sleeping or even when he was at work.
Second time we met was on the evening of Aug 2nd, we had some beers, and unexpectedly became an official couple on Aug 3rd, just past midnight. He declared it on my live stream on TikTok, so I’m still not sure if he said it as a joke or because of the alcohol? Either, I’d say it was a hasty decision and I just hope it won’t go to waste.
On Aug 5th, I went back to the Philippines for a 20-day vacation. We were doing good during that period — consistent communication per se. He picked us up at the airport when we got back to Tokyo. He stayed at my place for about 3 days — 2 of those he took leaves from work. I didn’t think it was a good idea but I was happy I get to spend more time with him and got to rest a lot.
Now, it’s been more than a month. We’ve had… I’d say one big fight where we almost broke up, and one medium(?) fight because he managed to control the situation very well. Again, this man always amazes me with his consistency and efforts.
To this day, it still feels surreal. I can’t believe that a man like him exists — more so, be in my life. He makes everything lighter, he makes me feel that I am valued, and he is very very very considerate of my feelings. He’s also decisive and very responsible, he knows what he’s doing and how to lead a relationship. He makes me laugh effortlessly. My respect for this man is not only because he is my boyfriend, but also for the kind of person he is now.
That’s all for now. I’m looking forward to making more happy memories with him.
