Our Story


Threads of Synchronicity
February 24, 2018, 3:45 PM. Cebu City, Philippines. The tropical sun cast a warm, lazy glow over Zar's modest room that shared with his siblings and cousins. He had endured the relentless tides of life's hardships, seeking refuge in the solitude of his room. Wrapping himself in a cocoon of solitude, he lay in bed, nursing the remnants of a hangover that clung to him like a stubborn ghost. With idle hands, he reached for his phone, seeking a digital escape. Instagram beckoned him with its alluring promise of a world beyond his own. As he scrolled through the kaleidoscope of images, his eyes fell upon a particular post, a singular image that seemed to shimmer with potential. Little did he know that this innocuous discovery had the power to reshape the course of his existence forever. February 24, 2018, 8:20 AM. London City, United Kingdom. In the heart of a bustling metropolis, Calvin strode purposefully through the morning mist, his thoughts centered on the day's academic pursuits. Business studies awaited him at the university but hidden beneath his scholarly exterior was a passionate soul yearning for artistic expression. Beyond his adeptness at the piano, Calvin possessed a flair for drawing that was both his sanctuary and his secret. That morning, he had committed his creative vision to paper, crafting an exquisite piece that bore his heart's imprint. Eager to share his passion with the world, he posted his creation on Instagram, casting it like a message in a bottle upon the digital sea. Hope swelled within him, a silent wish that someone out there would appreciate his artistry, perhaps even connect with him over their shared love for creativity. Hours passed, and the sun dipped beneath the London skyline, casting long shadows across the city. Calvin, nursing a faint glimmer of disappointment, decided to invest in his dream by promoting his post, a modest gamble on the power of chance and connection. As the digital clock struck 8:46 PM, a message notification illuminated his screen, drawing his attention away from the ordinary world and into the extraordinary. "Hi, Draw me!" the message read, accompanied by a cheeky smiley face. Calvin smirked, feeling a rush of excitement. His fingers danced across the screen as he replied, "Sure! Send me a photo." Little did he know that this simple exchange would set in motion a series of events that would intertwine their lives in ways they could never have imagined.
The Bond Begins
Calvin and Zar's relationship unfolded in a manner that defied the conventional notions of courtship. Instead of the typical dance of romantic pursuit, their connection grew organically, like two vines intertwining in a lush, hidden garden. It wasn't about the initial sparks; it was about the gradual warmth that enveloped them. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, spanning across time zones and cultural divides. Each day, they found themselves taking care of one another, offering unwavering support in their respective pursuits. Calvin dedicated himself to his studies, and Zar poured his heart into his burgeoning art career. Their bond wasn't confined to romance; it was a profound friendship that blossomed into something more. As a traditional Filipino, Zar harbored a deep appreciation for the art of courtship. He understood that love could be expressed through actions as well as words. In a gesture that transcended distance, he embarked on a creative endeavor that would speak volumes of his affection. Calvin, a poet at heart, often shared his verses with Zar. In response, Zar channeled his artistic prowess into a breathtaking tribute. He meticulously painted each of Calvin's poems, bringing them to life on canvas with vivid strokes and vibrant colors. Through his art, he poured his heart and soul into a visual love letter. Then, on a balmy evening in August, under the auspices of a sky adorned with twinkling stars, Zar unveiled his masterpiece to the world. His debut solo art exhibition, titled "Perfect Mistake," served as a testament to his love for Calvin. The exhibition featured 19 paintings, each a reflection of Calvin's poetic soul. It was a poignant declaration of affection, an artistic embrace that transcended mere words. From that moment on, Calvin and Zar proved that distance was but a fleeting shadow in the presence of their enduring love. Though they resided over 7,000 miles apart, their connection remained unbreakable. Theirs was a love story that defied boundaries, a testament to the power of love, friendship, and the extraordinary ways in which two souls could find solace in each other's hearts.
The Distance Between Us
On that day of December 1, 2018, destiny itself seemed to conspire as Calvin and Zar gazed upon each other, their hearts echoing a symphony of longing and love. The connection that had flourished through the medium of digital messages and shared dreams had now transformed into a tangible reality. It was an undeniable force, an irresistible pull that brought them together like celestial bodies gravitating toward their destined convergence. Their inaugural meeting was nothing short of extraordinary, an event that would be etched in the annals of their shared history. As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the world in warm hues of amber and rose, they sealed their profound affection with a kiss—a kiss imbued with the promise of a love that transcended the boundaries of time and distance. It was a promise that would forever leave its indelible mark upon their souls. During the seven days that followed, Zar was determined to craft unforgettable moments for Calvin. He embraced the responsibility of holding Calvin's heart with a reverence that spoke volumes. Together, they embarked on adventures that spanned the spectrum of wonder. Recognizing Calvin's hunger for novel experiences, Zar led him to a majestic waterfall, a natural wonder that left Calvin awestruck, his eyes reflecting the purity of the cascading waters. Their journey continued as Zar introduced Calvin to the warmth of his island home, the vibrant tapestry of his culture, and the loving embrace of his family. Every minute spent together became a cherished memory, akin to precious gems held up to the light, their brilliance blinding in its beauty. Amidst the candlelit ambiance of a quaint restaurant, Zar seized the perfect moment, offering a ring to Calvin, and with trembling anticipation, he whispered the words, "Will you marry me?" Calvin's eyes shimmered with emotion as he answered with a radiant smile, "Yes." Yet, as life's relentless clock continued its unyielding march, the inevitable day of departure loomed on the horizon. It was a heart-wrenching moment for both Calvin and Zar, tears freely flowing and the weight of longing settling heavily upon them. From the very first day of separation, Calvin's tears were an outward manifestation of the pain that gnawed at his heart. Zar, though equally tormented by the agony of parting, found strength in comforting Calvin with unwavering reassurance. However, as they stood beside the descending elevator, the insurmountable distance between them grew, and Zar's façade of composure shattered like fragile glass. Through the transparent barrier, he caught sight of Calvin, tears streaming down his face, and it was as if an arrow had pierced his heart. Zar's tears flowed uncontrollably, a torrent like a relentless waterfall, as he made his way through the terminal, oblivious to the curious onlookers. In that poignant moment, they both felt as if a vital piece of their souls had been torn away. It was a pain that cut to the core, leaving a void that only their unwavering promise could hope to fill. They vowed to reunite, to fashion a future where the specter of goodbye would never haunt them again. Their love had stood steadfast through the tempest of separation, and now, with hearts eternally entwined, they embarked on a journey to ensure that their souls would never have to endure such painful parting again.
