There's no instant attraction for both of them, Aloof is the perfect term to describe them, no Hi and Hellos, only a formal chat about assignments, quizzes, reports and exams. They even called each other by surnames. They were classmates for some major subjects in junior/senior years in college, until one day at the North-Wing building in MAPUA while waiting for their next class, they had a small talk about each others story of life, and they just connect. It marks the start of their getting to know each other thingy, talked over the phone, exchanged of messages, and have a little thoughtful and sweet nothings. Rodel started giving chocolates and asked Gina to have lunch at school or a little merienda while hanging out with their colleagues at their ORGs (IECEP-Institute of ECE of the Phil). Gina on the otherhand gave self-prepared sandwiches to Rodel. Their freinds keep on asking, "Kayo na ba?, ang sweet nyo ha!". But they dont answer that question, they just knew that they were special to one another.

Days, weeks, and months had passed, being each other's inspiration. And finally after a mall hopping together, they met up with their college friends (at Jayson's Condo somewhere in Manila area) while Jayson & Dal was busy preparing the food, Rodel & Gina had a serious talked about how they felt for each other, about LOVE, LOVE & LOVE! then one Big silence, whalaaah! There comes the question from Rodel asking, "Will you be my Girlfriend?" and Gina smiled, hugged Rodel and uttered the sweet 3-words "I Love You!". And Rodel said, you didn't answer my question? (hahaha, gusto nya talaga YES ang sagot, kaysa I love you!) and so Gina answered, "YES, i'd loved to be your Girlfriend!". It was March 25, 2003, they were officially COUPLE and marked their first movie, first dine out, and first out of town trip.

Gina loves to cook while Ardee loves to eat. They really compliment each other in many ways. Although they still have their differences that make the relationship a lot more exciting. Sharing their LIKES and complimenting their dislikes. The couple is a complete rivalry by profession but they still grew a strong relationship. Rodel used to work from GLOBE (NOKIA at present) & Gina works from SMART. They belong to a Long Distance Relationship (LDR), a relationship across countries, counting their time differences, but their LOVE and TRUST prevails.

The couple loves to travel in different places. They spent their time together in discovering new foods, delicacies, and traditions. They love spending the day on a beach, play with the sand and have fun in cold water, get tan under the heat of the sun.

As a normal couple, Ardee and Gina didn't really have an easy way in their relationship. Their relationship had UPS and DOWN, and when it's down its really sliding and even up to the break up point of our love, that turn to living their lives separately for months. Their families and closest friends who've seen how they've struggled can attest to that. But things between them went into place. They accepted each other's differences and learned to love the things they like the least. Trust, love and faith, the most common (and over-sentimental) things they will share as a couple. Sure, it can't be as perfect as they want it to be, but they will and can always do everything for the best.

Come end of 2007,Rodel called up Gina spilling the news that he was coming back again in Manila to spend the New Year of 2008. Gina was surprised because Rodel was just here in Manila 2 months ago for vacation (Rodel was formerly based in Iran then, now in Brazil). Rodel scheduled an out-of-town activities with all the plans of proposing to Gina on this trip, and Gina so clueless on what's going to happen on this trip. She just helped plan the tour & enjoy the time together. And on January 5, 2008, after their tiring tour in the cold City of Pines, Baguio City (this was also the place of birth of the groom). The Groom-to-Be Ardee popped the question to Gina, "Will you marry ME?", kneeled down, open the magic black box,and handed the ring to the, the Bride-to-Be Gina and She said “YES!”. It was a perfect night! And after five years (and counting) as a couple, they will finally tie the KNOT.
