I frequented the clubhouse in Ramos. It was there I saw a bunch of flowers delivered to the club station secretary and it came from 7GAY, I did not know who 7GAY was then. All I could say was, "awwww... this is so sweet!!!"
After a couple of months, I saw the same “antipatiko” guy right in front of our house gate together with a fellow club member. He was introduced to me as the best friend. From then on, we would occasionally bump into each other either through the club’s frequency (4.72) or through his home frequency (5.15). I asked him if he could come with me and meet a YM (Young Man) for an eyeball (I was never into eyeballs, but this persistent man would not take no for an answer and I said I will meet up with him if I can bring a friend along). He came and we met with the YM. Now, you know where we coined the term eyeball for our meet-ups here in iSTORYA.NET.
From that day on, we would arrange a time to meet-up on air and just talk the whole night. Then came the club’s beach outing. I so love the beach that I brought along my trusty sports Walkman to keep me company. I sat on the sand listening to my Walkman and he came along asking if he could listen to the music too. There we were, side by side, listening to the music, ambivalent to everything happening around us until someone said, "Excuse Me". That broke the moment and made us realize that there were other people around.

During one of our seemingly endless conversations on the radio, he professed his love to me. I dared him to come to the house and say it right in front of me. Courageous as he was, he went there without hesitation. Being courted by someone like him will never be a normal courtship.
Different than others who were patweetums and stuff, we got into a debate. I was intent on asking him to wait for me when I turn 18 but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He was intent on getting that yes from me. The argument was so intense because man, he just wouldn't give up! I was left speechless for 30minutes because I did not know any other retort. I was left dumbfounded by this man's character and well, at the end of the night, he eventually got me to say Yes.
The rest you know is history. We are now approaching our 19th year of being together and we just get stronger every day. That debate was the start of our love story, which bore us four kids-- a girl, 2 boys and this online community we call iSTORYA.NET.
