What about PicsArt made it easy for you guys to
get to know each other and connect?
Paolo: It's not easy for us to communicate through
Picsart especially when there's a seven-hours
time difference. PicsArt was the only way to
communicate with each other at first and it was a bit
hard to wait for Lily to reply to my comments. Every
picture we have posted tells how our love story
began. The best thing is that Lily trusted me from the
time we started. Our relationship was built on trust
and respect and that’s one of the many things I love
about us.
Tell us about your professional background and
shared interests.
Paolo: I have a degree in Industrial Design, since
2000 I have worked with architects, photographers,
multimedia and advertising agencies. I taught 2D
and 3D graphics softwares for years which is why I
love posting tutorials on my gallery! I'm a freelancer
now.
Lily: There's not much about me. I was only a 2nd
year BS/BA Marketing student. And I became a mom
of a beautiful daughter. Being a mom is the best
profession. Then I worked in a cell phone repair and accessories shops. I know a
bit about fixing software problems of cellphones. Life in the Philippines is hard so I
decided to apply for work here in Hong Kong.
We love photography, art, nature, architecture,food, fashion, music. I'm a hip-hop
dancer and I love singing.
Paolo: I love cooking oriental food too, even though I think Italian food is one of
the best in the world. I was a DJ and I love playing piano. We have a lot of fun…
When did you decide to actually meet in person?
Lily: We planned to meet during Christmas time last year and Paolo wanted to
spend his birthday with me but sadly I was not given days off from work. Then we
set a date again last Chinese New Year, the first week of February. And I was glad
that my employer allowed me to take a week off from work. This was the very first
and the most important step for us.
