00:00But let's talk about this because, you know, the short of the long version of your love story.

00:11Because of COVID-19 pandemic, right?

00:15There's this famous novel of Gabriel Garcia Marquez,

00:18Love in the time of cholera, yours is love in the time of COVID-19.

00:24What is the short of the long story?

00:26How did it all happen?

00:28So, who wants to go first?

00:30Okay, so, I used to host a show with Celene, it's called Taste Buddies.

00:34I remember that.

00:35Yeah, yeah. And then, it was her second guesting.

00:37Because the first time, we had our own.

00:39We didn't really click that time.

00:42The second time was when Mika clicked.

00:44Why didn't you click the first time?

00:46I was going through something.

00:48Okay, I understand.

00:50I was going through something.

00:51I don't have that kind of mindset.

00:53So, I guess, the second time she guested,

00:56I saw her in that type of light.

00:57I was like, hey, it's possible.

00:59Hey, it's possible?

01:01It's possible.

01:02So, the day after, we went on a coffee date.

01:05So, the day after guesting, we went on a coffee date.

01:08So, that's the short of it.

01:09The rest is history.

01:10We clicked from there.

01:11And then, this is during the pandemic.

01:13So, when we couldn't go on these mini coffee dates,

01:16because that's the only thing we could do.

01:17There were ECQs.

01:19Right.

01:20So, we'd watch movies through FaceTime or Zoom.

01:25Yeah.

01:26Did a lot of conversations.

01:27In other words, you got to know each other.

01:28What do you remember?

01:30Me?

01:31Taste Buddies.

01:32The first time you guested.

01:33Taste Buddies.

01:34And then, after that…

01:35What was your impression?

01:36At first, I thought he was flirty.

01:39What?

01:40Okay.

01:41In a sense, he's kind of…

01:42A jerk.

01:43He's kind of a jerk.

01:45I thought we wouldn't click.

01:46Because I'm a very massive person.

01:49But then, I realized that he's so down-to-earth.

01:54He's also very simple.

01:55And then, what I appreciated about him most is…

01:58I was G-shocked during my trip.

02:00He's just together.

02:02What we're learning now is that not all first impressions are correct.

02:06No, not at all.

02:07No?

02:08Not at all.

02:09Because there are people who say,

02:10you have to trust your gut.

02:11You have to trust your first impression.

02:12Because it means a lot.

02:14It's not like that.

02:15There's no formula.

02:16In other words, you need to do a lot of conversations.

02:20You need to get to know each other a lot better.

02:23In many different lights.

02:25Because he works.

02:27He has coffee.

02:28That's nice.

02:30Now, it's good news.

02:32We have a heart-to-heart.

02:33Because Philmar and Andy got back together.

02:36We're really happy for Andy Eigenman and Philmar.

02:40Because their love story is very, very public.

02:43But my question is this.

02:45What we learned from them,

02:47boundaries, for example.

02:49You two, having been together for over three years,

02:52do you have clear boundaries?

02:55Yes.

02:57Go ahead.

02:58I think me too.

02:59I don't ask so much of this time.

03:01If he needs his own personal space, I give that.

03:05I don't...

03:06But does he ask for personal space?

03:09Not really.

03:10I'm going out with my friends.

03:11No, no, no.

03:12Because I guess,

03:13I don't ask for that from him.

03:15So it all just happens naturally.

03:17And we're not both jealous

03:20of whoever we interact with.

03:22We have our own group of friends,

03:24circle of friends.

03:25That are separate.
