Maiqui Pineda at Robi Domingo
KNOWS n’yo ba na may sariling style pala si Robo Domingo para malaman kung talagang magki-click sila ng kanyang girlfriend na si Maiqui Pineda?
Ayon sa Kapamilya TV host, may mga pagkakataon na tine-test niya ang dyowa ala-reality game show para magkaalaman na pagdating sa mga trip nila sa buhay.
Naikuwento ito ng binata sa online chikahan na “Live With G3” kung saan nagbalik-tanaw din siya kung paano nagsimula ang love story nila ni Maiqui.
“We met during a party in ABS-CBN and walang tao na dumating. I think that was one of the parties na pagod yata lahat ng talents, pagod lahat ng creatives so only a handful of people attended and it was only because of Piolo Pascual who told me, kasi sobrang pagod na pagod na kaming lahat.
“I was going to go home already coming from Araneta Coliseum and then my handler tita Lulu (Romero) told Piolo, ‘Andiyan si Robi’ and Piolo called me up asking, ‘Saan ka pupunta?’ Sabi ko, ‘Uuwi na ako, Papa P,’ and he said, ‘Mahiya ka naman. Respeto naman sa mga boss na nagbigay sa ‘yo ng trabaho. Dumaan ka lang dito.’
“And then I went to that location and then wala naman akong intentions at all, promise. And then I saw a batchmate of mine na nandu’n. We talked at around 1 a.m. and then we finished at around 5 a.m. nonstop talking.
“She just came from a breakup and ako parang tapos na ako sa stage na yan, parang almost one year na ako. Gusto mo iparamdam ko sa ‘yo yung mga na-experience ko? So I had no intentions at all.
2017 was like the worst and best year of my life. Until I met Maiqui,” tuluy-tuloy na chika ng TV host.
Kasunod nito, naibahagi nga ni Robi ang pagta-travel nila ng girlfriend sa iba’t ibang bansa, “Whenever I travel with Maiqui, it’s with family naman, with her family all the time.
“Usually when that happens, she has like a family friend or she has family kung saan kami pupunta. And ako rin. So we will meet somewhere after. Ganu’n yung setup.
“May kaakibat na responsibility din kasi parang you get to enjoy the moments and also you put yourself in a position na sige nga, i-test nga natin. So I’m that kind of person na sinasadya to piss you off.
“Just to test kung how would you react to this kind of situation and she passed. She was patient enough, parang there was one time I wanted to go on that rollercoaster but she was hungry and she said, ‘Sige go have fun first. Let’s enjoy this moment kasi sayang.’ Yung mga ganu’ng klaseng bagay, very petty stuff. I’m super happy with her,” pagbabahagi pa ni Robi.
At dahil sa patuloy na banta ng pandemya, maituturing na rin nina Robi at Maiqui na LDR o long-distance relationship ang kanilang sitwasyon.
“Honestly it feels like LDR right now. Lalong lalo na I live in Quezon city and she’s in Makati. LDR para sa akin yun. Sobrang hirap. There are moments na kapag GCQ and I don’t have work naman, I get myself tested, and I would drive there. Tagal din, traffic din. Siguro it’s just a phase.
“You always have to remember why you’re in this relationship and why and how you feel in love. We just click. Everything that I do right now she gets entertained eh. Even me when she says ‘hi’ in the morning, I feel like my day is complete already. Ganu’n.
“Hearing her voice it’s so calming. I don’t know. I got the best support system right now lalo na when we play Mobile Legends together or even Pokemon Unite. She understands me and that’s the best thing about Maiqui,” pahayag pa niya.
