NAG-CELEBRATE ng kanilang 3rd anniversary bilang magjowa sina Gabbi Garcia at Khalil Ramos noong nakaraang Feb. 22.
Sa kanyang Instagram, pinost ni Gabbi ang isang sweet message para sa kanyang boyfriend na si Khalil kung kanino marami siyang natutunan tungkol sa buhay at pag-ibig.
“FEB 22. In a span of 3 years, I was filled with so much learnings. You taught me that there are different kinds of love and that it’s not all about the butterflies in your stomach, or the flowers, or the sweet surprises. It’s about your ‘Partnership.’ How one can drop everything and be selfless and give what your partner needs at the very moment.
“Love is not quantifiable. Love is not always fair, and it’s okay. Because love is sacrificing, love is your willingness to leap and cross the world to understand and help your partner. Love heals wounds. Love is choosing you, despite all the negativity in this world.
“You showed me all of these. You made me feel safe. You made me feel that I was worth every bit of your time and effort and that you would still choose me at the end of the day. Every single day. Here’s to our love. Happy anniversary, Kali.”
Sa kanyang vlog naman, pinost ni Gabbi na kahit galing pa sila sa magkaibang TV network, puwede daw mag-work ang isang relasyon basta nagtutulungan ang isa’t isa.
“I’m really lucky with Khal because, from the very start, he made it a point na, ‘Okay, we were gonna be smart about this relationship.
“We can’t repeat all our wrongdoings in our past relationships and just put it in this relationship because this one should be different.
“This should be a smart relationship. This one should have a strong foundation. And I think it helped a lot.”
Noong 2015 unang nagkakilala sina Gabbi at Khalil noong mag-shoot sila ng isang music video sa Hong Kong. Nagsama na ang dalawa sa indie film na “LSS” last year.
