Our Love Story

January 2025

What began as a quiet curiosity—wanting to meet someone new despite not being the most sociable—unexpectedly led to online dating (hello, Bumble 😅).

On January 2, 2025, Lance and Mae matched. Conversations came easily, but when Mae found out Lance would soon return to Tacloban, hesitation set in. She wasn’t ready for a long-distance relationship, and it almost ended before it truly began.

But Lance took a chance—and asked Mae to take one too.

 

January 30, 2025

Mae flew to Tacloban. What was meant to be a simple visit turned into something more. They clicked effortlessly, and in those few days together, they chose each other.

Still, the thought of distance lingered in Mae’s mind—until Lance made a decision that changed everything.

April 2025

Lance resigned from his job and moved to Zamboanga, choosing to be closer and to focus on building his future—and theirs.

From then on, they became inseparable.

No grand proposal. No exact date to mark when it all began—just two people who found each other, chose each other, and continue to choose each other every single day, for a lifetime.
