2 MONTHS OF COLLECTED MEMORIES WITH YOU R E M I N D E R CLOSE OPEN
SUNDAY |APRIL 26, 2026 | 10:30 PM ITO ANG FIRST LABAS NATIN PAPUNTANG COFFEESHOP WITH JACO.
You know, my heart was so full of gratitude that night, especially because of how kind you were to Jaco. You treated him like he was your own little brother and that really meant a lot to me. I don't know if nakuwento ko na sa'yo, but when I was only 13 years old and Jaco was still a baby, ako ang nagbantay sa kanya for 2 months doon sa bahay nila. Ang mama niya kasi kay may summer class sa isa sa pinakamalayong bundok sa Sarangani, so hindi talaga siya makauwi. At that young age, I learned what it meant to have the responsibility of taking care a baby. Ang papa din ni Jaco, since driver siya ng delivery truck, maaga siyang umaalis at gabi na umuuwi. Ginaiwanan niya lang kami ng ulam na lulutuin. Doon din ako natutong magluto, kahit hindi naman masarap. đ Kasi hindi lang si Jaco ang binabantayan ko, pati ang kuya niya rin.Ang iniisip ko lang noon, parang nagalaro lang kami ng bahay-bahayan. Habang si Jaco ginapatulog ko sa duyan, hanapin ko naman ang kuya niya kay permi nasa labas sige laag, naging mama ako bigla HAHAHAHAHA In exchange for all of that, I had a place to stay and food to eat because gina renovate pa ang bahay ni Lola. Ayaw ko rin umuwi sa amin kasi ako lang makita ni papa na malabsan sa galit niya kay mama so parati ako makulata. So when I saw how gentle and kind you were to Jaco that night, it touched me more than you probably realized. You were showing kindness to someone I practically helped raise. Maybe that's why my heart felt so full of gratitude. It meant more to me than I can explain. THANK YOUU <3333
JACO & ME| 2013
APRIL 28, 2026| 7::53 AM I took a video of you because this was the time you cooked breakfast even though hindi ka nagkain. Appreciating the little things you do even you donât have to.
F L O W E R S MAY 30, 2026 MAY 11, 2026 APRIL 30, 2026 As far as I remember, this was when we went to Agdao Public Market. I saw these flowers and decided to buy them, but you ended up paying for them. On a random Saturday morning, I felt something heavy that I couldn't explain. Then I went to you and said, "May mali jud, pero di ko alam kung ano." I suddenly burst into tears, and without hesitation, you hugged me. Thank you for giving me these roses just to comfort me. They really did comfort me, and I'll always remember that. You randomly gave me these santan flowers and even put them on me as if they were Dior, Chanel, or whatever luxury brand there is. But to me, these were far more valuable because they came from you.
Growing up, I received my first bouquet back in 2015 from someone I wasn't even in a relationship with. We just used to talk on the phone, and one day I had a practice in Gensan. He happened to be there, so we decided to finally meet. I had no idea he was bringing me a bouquet. I was so shocked and embarrassed in front of my teammates because I wasn't used to receiving flowers. I grew up hating flowers. I always thought, "What's so special about flowers when they eventually die?" To me, they were just a waste of money, so I never really appreciated them. That changed when I moved here to Davao. Do you remember when I told you that I used to spend time at a cemetery here? I would walk around looking at the graves. Some had fresh flowers, while others had none. It made me realize, what if one day I become one of those graves that no one brings flowers to? From that day on, I started buying myself flowers after church so I could enjoy them while I'm still alive. That's why I was genuinely so happy when I received flowers from you kay finally di najud ako nakadawat flowers from me but from someone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.đ€ Please know that every flower I've received from you has been the prettiest and my favorite.
MAY 1 2026 Ito yung time na nag uwi ka sa inyo and I kept telling myself, "It's okay," but I fucking cried because I already knew how much I was going to miss you. That was also the day I realized I was really into you kasi if wala ka lang sa akin I wouldn't mind if wala ka dito. Without you here, everything felt so empty.

MAY 8 2026
I have so many insecurities about myself, including my armpits, but I never hesitated to show them to you. I even asked you to pluck my armpit hair. That was the moment I realized I didn't have to hide my insecurities from you anymore. I could just be myself and act like the person I truly am. I never felt the need to pretend to be someone I'm not. Thank you for making me feel so accepted though hindi ko naman need ng validation ng ibang tao but it really boost my confidence because of you, I've learned to appreciate and love myself a little more than I ever did before.
MAY 12, 2026 This was the time I wanted to go home, and you accompanied me. It was also the first time you met my little family. They liked you instantlyâwithout any judgment. They welcomed you so naturally, and it made me so happy. Every time I go home now, they always ask about you and wonder where you are. Hay naku Boknoy, sali ka na lang sa pamilya namin HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm always excited whenever you ask me to come with you sa shop even if it means waiting for a long time. To me, it just means I get to spend more time with you. Seeing you happy makes me the happiest. Because of you, I've become more curious about motorcycles so I can understand your interests and relate to the things you love. Here's to more trips to the shop together in the future. I truly hope you'll get the big bike you've always wanted and that you'll reach all the places you've been dreaming of. And I hope I'll still be there, riding along with you through every adventure. "Adventure is out there!" - Charles Muntz
Meet Nicelle, 19 years agoâthe innocence in her smile, not knowing what was going to happen as she grew up. But if I could tell her one thing, I would proudly tell her about you.
ABOUT ME Before, I used to think I was just a collection of pieces from every person I loved. But over time, I realized that I can still name the things that make me who I am. I love making people happy, and I hate seeing someone sad because of me. I have a soft spot for animals and the elderly, especially when they're not treated with the kindness they deserve. I cry easily, especially when I'm so upset that I can't find the words to express how I feel. I love the simple things in life. Kahit sa pagkain, favorite ko lang ang tinapa with egg na maraming paminta. And when I need comfort, a burger is always my go-to comfort food. I love going out, but only with the people I feel comfortable around. My energy is reserved for those I trust enough to show my true self. But when I'm alone or surrounded by strangers, I'm probably one of the quietest people you'll ever meet. I love everything Jesus created here on Earthâthe moon, the stars, the sun, nature, animals, the sea, the clouds, and all the little wonders in between. They remind me how beautiful life can be. Sometimes I overshare, and other times I don't even have the energy to talk. I love listening to music, no matter the genre. I'm always open to adventures, trying new things, and discovering places and experiences I've never had before. I'm naturally curious about anything I don't know because I genuinely enjoy learning. I'm a considerate person, especially when it comes to the people I love. Most of the time, I think about their happiness before I think about my own. Above all, I love helping people.
ABOUT YOU Here are some of the things I've come to know about you. You hate it when people are stingy or when you can't get what you want. You don't like spicy food. You share the same birthday as my lola, which I still think is such a cute coincidence. You love cooking, and fun fact I love everything you cook. Your favorite scent is santalwood. Dust triggers your eczema. Your love language is acts of service. You're funny, loud, and your brown eyes are one of my favorite things about you. One of your dreams is to visit Batanes someday. You act strong, but you have the softest heart, especially when it comes to the people you love. They know they can always come to you whenever they need something because they know they can trust you. That's one of the things I admire most about you. I hope that with every day we spend together, I'll continue to learn more about youâthe little things, the big things, and everything in between.
I know we both come from different love stories and different experiences. In my story, one thing all of my past relationships had in common was that they liked me, but never enough to truly pursue me. I was only convenient for them. That made me think I shouldn't take love too seriously anymore. But despite everything, I still chose to try again. I still chose to trust someone one more time. For a long time, joy eluded me. I looked around, and life just didn't feel as meaningful anymore. But when you came into my life and I got the chance to know you, I found myself on my knees, praying and asking God to let me have you. When I tell you that you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, I mean it with all my heart. I will keep reminding you because I'm not joking. Loving you also means understanding that I'm not the only person in your life. There's Chiqui, your mom, your ate, and all the people you love. And I wouldn't want to take that away from you. I didn't fall for you because I needed a relationship. I fell for you because, for the first time in such a long time, I felt peace. Being with you feels like home. It feels like I've finally found the love that was meant for me. I just hope that when life gets hard, when you get tired, or even when you get bored, you won't let me go.
SO, TO MAKE THIS OFFICIAL... BOK, I'M ASKING YOU TO BE PART OF MY ADVENTURE. LET'S EXPLORE THE WORLD TOGETHER, ONE PLACE, ONE MEMORY, AND ONE DREAM AT A TIME. NOT A SECRET JUST PRIVATE. JUST YOU AND ME, THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO US, AND GOD. WILL YOU BE MY PERSON?
Don't rush your answer. I can wait. Take all the time you need. I just want you to be honest with me, because whatever your answer is, I'd rather hear the truth than something said out of pressure.
