From Grade 6 Crush to Greatest Love, Couple Shares Cute Love Story
We’ve all had our fair share of crushes even back in our grade school days – but how many of us had the chance to actually spend the rest of our lives with one of those childhood crushes, anyway? Not many but when there’s someone who achieved that, it would certainly make a great story to share on social media.
That’s what happened to Ameety Borromeo who is now engaged to her Grade 6 crush! Cute, isn’t it?

Ameety and Sam Dayao Aniciete had known each other since they were really, really young. In fact, they were classmates since preschool but it was in 2001 when they were in Grade 6 that the two felt a mutual attraction to each other.

That time, though, their puppy love did not prosper because Ameety wasn’t ready to have a boyfriend yet while Sam wasn’t sure how to ask her to be his girlfriend! Amazingly, the two held on to their feelings despite not being an official couple.

“Sam was there, courting me until we were 16. We were exclusive but not official. Our classmates noticed and wondered why I am still not saying yes to Sam and I told them, ‘Hindi naman kasi ako tinatanong,’” Ameety later shared.
They finally became a couple in 2004 but the road to engagement was a very long one for them.
Despite separating schools for college, Sam and I managed to get through it all. We were bestfriends. We were partners. Others always think ours is the #relationshipgoals but what we have is not perfect. There are many good days but there were also bad days where we argue and fight. For 14 years of being together, trust me it has been a good roller coaster ride.
We made it through the 3rd, 5th and 7th year itch, had our “One More Chance” moment, and even almost gave up on each other but I am thankful that God always finds a way to let us be together. If anything, the up and downs made us stronger as a couple.

When they celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2014, Ameety was expecting that Sam would propose but he didn’t; it led to a major heartbreak for the young woman and fights that went on for years.
“Kung mayaman lang ako noon pa kita pinakasalan,” Sam told her. “Please hintayin mo lang ako.”
But just when she least expected it, Sam proposed some weeks after their 14th anniversary and just days before her 30th birthday.

“From a journal entry of a 12-year old girl on her pink diary in 2001 to writing her love story 17 years after to share how her first and true love has surpassed the relationship itches, the arguments and the frustrations and how such a love would stand as a living testimony to the “Love is patient” verse in the Bible. My heart is full and I am writing with happy tears. I am beyond happy to say that everything is now starting to fall in the right places,” Ameety wrote.

Teacher Goes Viral after Replying to Student Before Going to Her Wedding
We all know that most teachers are dedicated to their jobs and are often spending a lot of overtime work to finish lessons, grades, and various reports. But one teacher recently went viral after replying to a student before going to her wedding! Now, that’s truly dedication…
Teacher Replies to Student Before Her Wedding
It is said that teaching is a noble job because their work does not stop when they go out of the classroom.
More often than not, they still spend lots of hours after school is done because there are still a lot of lessons to prepares, papers and projects to check, assignments and seatworks to be corrected, grades to be made, reports to be submitted, and so much more. Even during weekends, teachers still have a lot of things to do.

Recently, a teacher showed that their work really isn’t done even outside their duties inside the school. Irish Jeanne Bautista wowed netizens after she replied to a student’s message even if she was busy preparing for her wedding.
The student was asking about something related to a submission of a paper; though it was not indicated whether the paper was an assignment, test paper, or project. Apparently, the teacher was able to check this student’s paper but the others were reportedly not there. However, the student was puzzled because the paper was submitted along with the others.

Though she was already busy at the time with wedding preparations, the teacher took time to reply to the student. She was not able to resolve the girl’s query, but the teacher made sure that the student did not feel that she was being ignored.
“Wait lang, Larah… Ikakasal lang si Ma’am. Replyan kita later,” the teacher replied, with matching emojis.
What are Emojis?
Emojis are digital icons or images that convey an emotion, idea, profession, logo, animals, expressions, buildings and places, etc.

Vendor Goes Viral for Bringing Pet Dog on Bike While Selling Peanuts
A vendor recently went viral for bringing his beloved pet dog on a bike while he is selling peanuts.
The dog might be having a difficult time in that makeshift basket and the man is also having a hard time pushing the broken bike, yet they seem to enjoy their life together – and the vendor wants to continue bringing his dog along while roams around the city to sell his peanuts.
Peanut Vendor Brings Pet Dog on Bike
A lot of animal lovers treat their pets as part of the family, not just as dogs or cats in the house. That’s why an elderly vendor in Cebu City brings his pet dog along, even if that meant that the animal is tied on a leash and goes with him on a makeshift basket he placed on his bike.

Netizen Franklin Ramos Mariscal shared photos of the peanut vendor and his dog, narrating how he met them by chance while he was walking along the South Bus Terminal on his way home. At first, Franklin thought that the man was strolling along with his dog, but he would later meet them again after he crossed the street.

According to the peanut vendor, his pet is a puppy Golden Retriever. He brings the dog along because he enjoys the dog’s company and is clearly an animal lover, Franklin observed. However, pushing that broken bike with the heavy dog made his back ache, the old man added.

Taking pity on the old man, Franklin decided to share his story so that netizens could also help him by buying from him when they happen to see him.
But the story would soon go viral, with netizens from faraway places also offering help. So, Franklin decided to accept donations for the old man so they can send him some groceries. Some netizens also suggested getting the old man a bike with sidecar so the dog will be more comfortable while the old man will be safer riding the bike.

Sidecar for Bikes and Motorcycles
Most bicycles and motorcycles are sold as they are, with just two wheels, but people in places like the Philippines have made modifications to add a sidecar and a third wheel to make these vehicles more serviceable. The sidecar allows the user to bring more goods on the vehicle or even have more passengers.

Online Shop Gives Free Blackpink Album to Courier Rider’s Daughter
An online shop selling K-pop merch has gone viral after giving a free Blackpink album to a courier rider’s daughter! The sweet gesture earned praise from netizens who were amazed that they would give the expensive item for free — and the courier rider did not even ask for it.
Generous Online Shop Gives Free K-Pop Merch
With the Korean wave still up in many countries across Asia and even as far as the US and some parts of Europe, a lot of online shops are chasing in on their popularity with K-pop merch also being top sellers. But it is also a reality that not all K-pop fans have the money to buy all the merch they wish to collect, especially because such could be expensive.

But the generous owner of a K-pop merch shop wowed netizens after sharing a free album to one of their courier riders.
ABest Express rider Ralph Paul De Leon messaged 7for7Shoppe to ask whether they have Blackpink’s “THE ALBUM”, something that his daughter wanted to have as present for her 15th birthday. After learning that this will actually be Yawina’s first Blackpink merch.

Aly, one of the shop owners, explained that though they sell K-POP merch at the shop she co-owns with friends Gab and Ianna, the item Yawina wants is being sold at another shop she co-owns with another group of friends, Jona and Mitche of BananaMilk PH.
Instead of selling the album to their hardworking ‘suki’ courier rider, Aly decided to gift it to his daughter instead.

“…I think na albums are expensive talaga. It’s not for all kumbaga. So sa ‘kin parang instead of selling it, why not just give it instead. Kasi po birthday din naman ng one (GOT7) member nung day na ‘yun (Tito Jaebeom 😂), so celebration na rin po sana,” explained Aly.
“We are fans too kaya alam namin the happiness it could give to someone. And cute kasi talaga ng dad, ang supportive.”
Aside from giving “The ALBUM”, 7for7Shoppe also sent Yawina a poster and some unofficial Blackpink photo cards.

The happy dad later shared a photo of Yawina happily showing off the merch she received from the shop.

What is Merch?
“Merch” is actually short for “merchandise”. It is a common term used today for collectible items that are often associated with popular figures such as YouTubers, artists, vloggers, or various personalities.
