Then & now

Same smiles, a few years later

Now: Joboy and Anna sit cheek to cheek at a white table, smiling at the camera, his hand resting on her head and her arms folded in front.
Then: Joboy as a little boy in a white barong-style shirt, sitting in front of a wrought-iron window.Then: Anna as a little girl with straight bangs, in a little gown with ruffled sleeves, in an old, faded print.
Little Joboy in his barong, little Anna in her gown. Already dressed for the occasion. draft

Our story

How it started

We met as officemates at HaelthTech, a small startup in Alabang, two friends in the same barkada sharing lunches and deadlines. When we moved on to different jobs, the friendship stayed. Then the pandemic slowed the world down, and our late-night chats got longer. When the world opened up again, so did we: one coffee turned into many, and somewhere along the way, friends became more.

Joboy still insists Anna had a crush on him first. (She didn't. Please don't bring it up.)

On top of Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo, under the Bell of Happiness, he asked. It was livestreamed on the mountain's official YouTube channel. She said yes.draft
