Shelved under Bits and Pieces, My Thoughts

I was tagged by Tina of MyGoodFinds.Org about what was I thinking when I met my husband. Here is Tina’s post.

Here goes mine:

My husband of twelve years and I met at their house. They live in a compound where there is a row of four doors of tiny apartments on the side of their house. When I moved out of the dorm I was staying in a street away, my dorm-mates and I moved into the first door of their apartments. I have met his other siblings (all six siblings). I didn’t know they still have another brother, who is the eldest, because I was rarely in the place since I was already working full time as a preschool teacher and was doing graduate studies after work and during Saturdays. I saw him one morning supervising a brother who was parking a car in the garage. I just looked at him and thought, “Is he what they call ‘Macho‘? He is does not look like one because he is thin.” We just looked at each other and said nothing because we haven’t been introduced.

So when we were finally introduced, I was just nonchalant about it. I got to know bits and pieces about him like he plays keyboards in a band, can drive really fast and studying computer science. It was only a few days after when I learned that the Macho actually was the car he drives, a Toyota Corona Macho Machine, a mean little two-door car that packs a lot of action. It looks like this, except for the mag wheels. Still a few days later, I asked him if he would like to go with me to a concert in Ultra in Pasig City. It was a The Police concert and I got two free tickets. Guess what, when he hasn’t arrived yet at the time we were supposed to live and impatient me, not wanting to be late for this much-awaited event, went with one of the girls I live with in the apartment. The next day, I had a rose from him and the rest as they say is history…

I am tagging JMom, Raquel and Dr. Amy.

Wow! Nakakalig ‘no Ate Julie ;) ! So he is into computers and macho cars. The Police Concert, heck I would have done the same thing. It’s a good thing he apologized with a rose, naks!

Thanks for doing this meme.

  • Ate ka dyan, LOL! The rose? Came from his best friend’s mom’s flower shop! I love doing the meme. Thanks! :)

Aba Teacher Julie, you made the first move ha! :-P
Did you seek out those “bits & pieces” of information on purpose, too? hmm

  • They, the girls, I was staying with, fed me some of those bits and pieces. Some I got from talking to him. He told me that he has his eyes set on me even before I knew it. :)

I agree with Auee, I admire your courage to make the first move. Why not? We are supposed to give subtle hints, di ba? Atta girl!

  • He seems to be an exciting fellow, my opposite. And who would have appreciated the Police concert but him? His piano playing skills is a big plus. When we started getting to know each other he would play wonderful songs for me. In their house.

You ha, tapang mo rin ano. Great story. So where’s the Macho Machine now? Buhay pa? :)

  • Cookie, The Macho Machine is gone. They sold it since it was hard to maintain a car like that. Sayang, it could have been useful now since our 6yo son loves rear-wheel drive cars. He used to take me riding that car. Fast then would do a very fast u-turn with tires screeching. :)
