Weddings and Ex Boyfriends

Get ready for a long read on my blog. Haha! I'm quite inspired to talk about weddings, lost love and soon-to-be-found love. I hope you'll enjoy this. :)


You know what they say that it's every girls dream to get married to their prince charming? Well, I'm one of those girls. Ever since I became a teenager, I've dreamt of getting married one day to my ideal guy and we'd start a family of four and we'd live in a bungalow type of house with a big lawn for the kids to play around. Then we'd work hard and invest on some business so we can create a beach house that we can go to everytime we need to have a vacation. Believe me, I have a long list for this. Hahahaha! So anyway, I decided to talk about weddings because I was watching videos from Jason Magbanua (see his amazing works). He is a famous wedding videographer and by famous, I really mean FAMOUS! He's the wedding videographer of Judy Ann Santos-Ryan Agoncillo, Rica Peralejo-Joe Bonifacio, and many more local celebs! I'm guessing his services are worth big bucks! Well, he does make cool and really really romantic same day edit wedding videos. They're to die for! And it really brings me to tears everytime I watch his videos! Haaaai. 

Whenever I watch the videos, it makes me look back on the boyfriends I've had and it made me realize what a tragedy (and a big waste of money) it would be if I ended up marrying one of my exes and then get separated because he found something unlovable about me. That would be "ouch!" right? So, in a way, I'm thankful that they broke my heart because I know that the pain they bought upon me will pave the way for me to find and be found by my prince charming. Hahaha! Just for the information of everybody, since I'm talking about my ex's here, let me tell you that I've had three serious boyfriend-girlfriend relationships and two just-for-fun and i'm-still-innocent-at-that-time relationships. Hahaha! That's a total of five. Hehehe. Here's a brief description on my three serious bf-gf relationships:

1) Good boy/Inocente de ti guy - Let's just call him C. The oh-so good boy who was my first serious boyfriend. We lasted for 7 months. Really good guy but I guess I'm not the right girl for him. That means, good boy and medyo pasaway girl aren't the perfect combination sometimes. :)

2) Sporty but romantic guy - His initials are JJ. He was really romantic and very sporty. He loves to play soccer (he is a varsity) and basketball. He was also good in class. Belonged to the top section while I, on the other hand, did just fairly well in class. Hahaha! We lasted for 1 year and 10 months. In the middle of those months, we encountered four short break ups. Then we both decided to really call it quits because it just wasn't working anymore. I really admired JJ. He was very romantic. He wooed me through love letters and poems. Bought me simple gifts even when there's no occasion. But I guess, we aren't the perfect two also. Pero we're still good friends until now.

Note: Of all my ex's, JJ is the only one who remained as my friend. We get to communicate still once in a while. Awesome, isn't it? :)

3) Geeky/Achiever/Shy Guy - Let him be known as triple A. I will be really honest in telling you dear readers that I've seriously considered him as my "the one". But it was really, really too early to tell because look where we ended up with my supposedly "the one" guy. Hahaha! Seriously though, triple A was by far the only guy who had my parents approval. He was into academics and extra-curricular activities in school. He got good grades and was almost always on the Dean's Lister. He was known to most people as the shy and too-good-to-even-break-a-plate type of guy. But if you knew him better, he is, in some way, really the opposite. Our love story started with us being good friends. We lasted for 3 years. Broke my heart terribly. I lost weight and had a hard time moving on. It took me almost a year to get on with my life without him. YES! That long. I lost my bestfriend. That broke my heart even more. :( He's happy now, by the way. I am happy too! :) Sad thing is, we CAN'T communicate anymore. Bawal na kasi eh! hehehe :)

So you see, it was a good thing that I had to get my heart broken. It taught me to better appreciate the next (hopefully my ever-after) guy who's going to just make me believe that there is indeed a meaning to it all. And by "it" I mean the heart breaks. :) By the way, have you noticed that I gave quite a longer description with triple A compared to C and JJ? Hahahah! Oh well...

If you've seen the videos of Jason Magbanua, you'll notice how most of the brides say during their recital of vows that they've married their bestfriend, their confidante. Well, I want the same thing too - To marry my bestfriend (And I'm not referring to triple A). I have always believed that there comes a time in your relationship that the romance dies. But when that time comes, it is always important to still have the friendship. It usually saves a dying relationship. Trust me on that. :)

I know I'm still too young to get married (or even talk about it) and it's going to take a while before I walk down the aisle. But I know I'm closer to finding my kind of guy. The one that God is going to include in my life story. He may not be my ideal guy but I know he'll be my REAL guy. And we'll pretty make damn sure that Jason Magbanua will be our wedding videographer so that everyone will know how surreal it was to marry my "Right" man. :) So until then, I'll just allow myself to drown in tears watching Jason Magbanua's videos and get really jealous of those girls who finally found their "the one". Hahaha.
