It was
Valentine’s Day of 2005. I am not really good in planning dinner dates so I end
up offering just a pizza treat for my then-girlfriend Leah. As much as I wanted
it to be more romantic, I just can’t do it for a lot of reasons.
But the day
started well. The delivery guy from the flower shop showed up at Leah’s office
earlier than her (just as I requested). So as she walks through the hallway going
to her table, there was this guy in red uniform standing beside her cubicle
with a big smile, carrying the bouquet of flowers that I ordered. Leah said
that while she was walking to get my gift, her officemates where cheering and
teasing her.
“Tonight… pizza
for two and the whole me only for you! Happy Valentines… I love you!” That’s
what my note
said. After reading it, Leah texted me to say that she already received the
flowers and our date is set.
The whole
afternoon, all I think was what will I say to Leah on our first Valentine’s
date. When the clock hit six o ‘clock, I rushed out from work and luckily got a
cab without any hassle.
I was home
within 30 minutes--- just enough time for me to prepare the table. After a
quick change of outfit, I put the Hawaiian pizza into the oven and viola!
Instant dinner that goes well with my favorite soda.
Exactly 7
p.m. in Saipan, Northern Marianas Islands (where I was working as a shop
attendant that time), I called up my Leah who was also ready with her slice of
pizza that she bought from a fastfood store in Cubao, Quezon City. We were both
very happy that we were able to have that date though we are thousand miles
away from each other. We spend the next two hours talking over the phone about
our plans the moment I come back home to the Philippines in August that year.
Leah and I
could have not survived the countless months we were away from one another if
not for Globe, which during those times is the only Philippine telecom company
that offers international roaming in Saipan. We are still proud subscribers up
to this day.
From her
first hello to our exchange of “I love you” and silly things we do to our vows
of “I do’s,” Globe served as the firm bridge to our long distance relationship.
On December of 2006, we got married and
we were blessed with an energetic and fun-loving son who joins us in our family
dates during weekends. This is my Glad
to be Globe story.
I am so
thankful to Globe because it is a big part of our love story. What I shared is
only one of the many memorable moments we had with this trusted brand. Here’s a
video that I created to show how it has became a part of our everyday life and
why I am glad to be Globe until now.
Want to sing? I am pretty sure you have a better voice than I do. I just love Globe that much that I am willing to do anything to express my gratitude to the brand. Below are the lyrics of my version of the song.
Glad to Be Globe
