Forgive me for the shaky and pitchy song. It was so freakin' hard to sing and play it at the same time!
When I'm making
video editing projects, I usually name them with this syntax. I called this THREE
because it's me and my boyfriend's third anniversary this April 29. If you
haven't seen the first video I made for him for our first anniversary, click
here.
I have to be honest, I am, by no means, a good piano player. I wouldn't even
call myself a piano player, lol. I basically just look for tutorials on the
internet. Last time, I used sheets which took me one whole month to read and
practice! This time, because I only had one week left, I did the shortcut and
watched several videos on YouTube then integrated the parts that I felt were
easy! Why didn't I just download a karaoke and record myself singing with it?
Because I'd like to add a bit of extra effort for this special person.
On my Project Revival post,
my boyfriend complained because he wasn't featured in it so now I'm dedicating
an entire entry for him. If you're interested in knowing a tad bit more, keep
reading. But if you're not one for sappy love stories, then just hit the exit
button. Lol.
No storm can stop us
Obviously, I met
Charles three years ago, in college. I didn't really notice him very much
though we had several subjects together. Tetris on Facebook was very popular
then and he would always play battles with me (even I find this part cheezy). Eventually we became closer and got to know each other more.
November 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda hit our city and almost entirely destroyed Charles' home. We offered his family
shelter for several days in our house and that's how our families got to know
each other more. A few days later, they had to go to Cebu to get help and medicines. Charles ended up finishing his last semester there. I was stuck in
Tacloban City and had to wait a few more months before our classes start on
January 2014. The students who cross-registered were able to finish their last
year in college on time. I, on the other, had to patiently wait for Charles to
come back. I didn't like the long distance relationship (LDR) but I had to
accept the situation.

Sooner or later,
things got better. He went back home, rebuilt their house, not completely
though, and we both graduated! Before our big day, we each landed jobs with a
humanitarian organization. We are really blessed to have survived the storm and
still be together.

It really is true
what older people say, "When you grow older, you'll have different
priorities…" But despite the changes, I know Charles and I both want to
take every step together toward achieving our goals.

It's comforting to
know that you have a person whom you can share things with - food, joy and even
sadness. We've had so many ups and downs but we made it to three!

Charles, if you're
reading this, thank you for being my bestfriend. I can never imagine life
without you. Happy anniversary, I hope you like my not-so-surprise-video. I
love you to bits! :*

As you're reading this, I am probably at Boracay and showing this exact video as a surprise to my boyfriend. More entries to come when I come back.
Chao!
