"As the sun rose over Baguio’s mountains, I asked Rosemae to be her forever—and she said yes. With the sky glowing and our hearts full, that sunrise marked the start of our forever."
It all started in a quiet classroom. I was the new guy, standing at the front, nervously introducing myself to the class. Everyone was politely listening or pretending to except one person. As I scanned the room, my eyes landed on her. She was beautiful, poised, and completely unimpressed. Just as I started to feel confident, she looked straight at me… and then rolled her eyes. Not dramatically, but thoughtfully like she had already figured me out. That one moment stuck with me. While everyone else forgot my name by the end of the hour, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Something about that subtle snub made her unforgettable. She had this quiet confidence, this mystery that pulled me in. From that day on, I found myself trying harder in class maybe to impress her, maybe just to get another glance. What started with an eye roll turned into a spark… and eventually into a lifetime together. Looking back now, I’m grateful for that first glance and even more grateful for the girl who rolled her eyes and somehow rolled right into my heart.
