Our Love Story
Our story began as a simple friendship at ESSU Guiuan Campus from 2014 to 2016, where we bonded as colleagues and fellow art enthusiasts. When our paths parted, we never imagined that years later, a simple birthday message during the pandemic in 2021 would bring us back together. From that message grew a love that took us on adventures, travels, and countless museum visits, where we discovered the beauty of art, history, and life together. Along the way, our little family grew with our beloved fur daughter, Chichay, who became part of our happiest memories. What began as friendship became a journey of love, adventure, family, and shared dreams—a story that, perhaps, was written in the stars all along.
