- A Facebook user named Namie Oya shared an inspiring story on her personal account last Father’s Day.
- She shared how her husband and she built their empire from scratch and now enjoying the fruits of their hard work.
Being in a relationship means that both parties should be supporting each other through thick and thin – no matter how hard the situation might be. They should be willing to make sacrifices and grow together in different aspects of life.
Sometimes, not all couples are able to endure the challenges they faced and decided to let go. While there are also some who stayed strong until the storm disappears.
One of the couples whom the netizens are labeling as relationship goals today is Namie Oya and her husband Winnie Matriz.
Namie shared their beautiful story on her Facebook account, which made the netizens dream of having the same kind of relationship.
Read her full post below:
“Most woman want a man who already have an empire, But being your wife I am very much thankful that we built that empire together.
Dear Husband, Winnie Matriz
Natatandaan mo pa ba nun? Yung mga panahong mag BF/GF palang tayo, Sabi mo mag aabroad ka pag natapos mo yung engineering course mo para makaipon, Sabi ko naman sige pero gusto ko muna magkababy para sigurado kasi baka di ko kayanin ang LDR. Kalokohan diba? kasi biro-biruan lang naman yun. Pero ayun nga si Ryu nabuo, Di ka naman natakot that time kasi unang araw palang na nalaman natin pinaalam na natin agad sa family ko. Yung family ko naman hindi nagalit natuwa pa kasi alam nila kung anong klaseng tao ka boto sila sayo eh syempre takot tayo sa family mo kasi hindi ka pa nga tapos sa pag aaral eh tapos naging ganun pero naging okay din naman lalo na at unang apo si ryu at nagpakasal tayo na nakakabilib kung pano natin yun iniraos wala naman tayong savings sa bangko.”
According to Namie, both of them started from scratch. Years ago, when her husband was still a student, he dreamed of working abroad to be able to save money in a short period of time for the family they wanted to build together.
Unexpectedly, Namie got pregnant and both of them decided to get married – which was fully supported by their families since they are in favor of the couple.
“Hanggang sa lumipat ka ng trabaho kasi kulang na eh, para may pangtustos tayo. Ganun din naman ako may trabaho at nagoonline selling pero nagresign dahil maselan ako noon in short kinapitan ko ang online selling.
Yun na nga, buntis ako pero nasa divisoria tayo nakamotor kumukuha ng mga paninda, kapag wala na tayong cash sakto naman na may umoorder ang galing ng ways ni Papa God diba? Tandang tanda ko pa gusto mo na ko magtaxi dahil ilang pairs ng sapatos (more than 80 yata) yun need bitbitin pauwi halos ipit na ko sa motor buntis ako pero kinaya natin para makatipid. Hanggang sa nanganak ako, ilang months na si Ryu at parang di na kakayanin ng trabaho at online selling minsan nakakapangutang tayo pero nababayaran din naman natin, andun na sari saring pangdodown ang nareceive natin.”
Both of them struggled, but the hardship was not a reason for them to give up on their dream. Thus, it was the exact same reason why they strived even harder.
“Dumating sa punto na nagapply ka na para mangibang bansa at tanggap ka naman agad sa 100K monthly sana na kikitain, pero ang galing talaga ni Papa G kasi nung desidido ka na ayos na papers mo ipapasa nalang, biglang nagboom ang business natin na pinantayan kahit pano yung dapat mong susuwelduhin doon. Natuloy tuloy yun hanggang sa ngayon, Nakabili tayo ng mga sasakyan at nakapagpatayo ng dreamhouse natin sobrang nakakaproud lang.”
Their hard work had finally paid off which led to acquiring their own house and having their second vehicle.
The first car they ever bought was a second-hand van which they used for deliveries. According to Namie, she isn’t ashamed that they only had a secondhand vehicle back then because it was only what they could afford.
Now, they already have a brand new car which they bought with their earnings.
“Ang gusto ko lang sabihin, Salamat daddy kasi hindi ka sumuko sa hirap na pinagdaanan natin. Yung topak ko kahit gano katindi, mas matindi naman yung pang unawa mo. Salamat kasi kahit hirap tayo noon masaya tayo, Hanggang sa kahit pano guminhawa ngayon masaya pa rin tayo. Walang nagbago ganun pa din kung pano ka maglambing at pano mo ko asikasuhin. mas matindi pa nga ngayon kasi nakakabili ka na ng boquet ng rose, Di mo na iniintindi gastos mo pagdating sakin.
Salamat din sa pagaalaga, Yung pag intindi mo samin ng anak mo. Alam naman ng lahat na mas matindi ang sakripisyo mo kesa sakin, Mas matindi yung pagmamahal mo eh. Ramdam ko naman yun lalo na sa ngayon na pumapasok na si ryu na tipong kahit 1 oras lang ang tulog mo ikaw pa din ang babangon para asikasuhin sya kesa gisingin ako mas hinahayaan mo na matulog ako makumpleto lang ang tulog ko.”
Namie acknowledged her husband’s efforts through the years and even up to this day. She shared that Winnie is a wonderful husband and any woman would dream of, and she is lucky to have him as her lifetime partner.
“Salamat sa surprises kahit na minsan epic fail. Salamat for treating and making me feel like a queen. At dahil Father’s day ngayon, Wala lang babatiin lang kita ng “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” Thank you for being a responsible husband & dad. Thank you for not making me jealous of others because you always make me feel loved, Thanks for making me complete. Thank you for always complementing me. Ayoko mang-inggit pero talagang “Nakajackpot ako sa asawa ko”.”
“Bata pa kami nung nag-asawa sabi nila bata pa baka maghiwalay din bugso lang ng damdamin, mapusok pero ayun eto kami standing still, Going strong bata man kami noon (20 ako, 23 si husband) Eto nagmature kami eh kinaya namin dahil sa pagmamahal. Kaya sa iba dyan na pilit dinodown, Chin up kaya nyo din yan!”
“Again, Happy Father’s day my Love, Ang sarap balikan lahat diba? pero mas masarap mag move forward kasama ka. I love you so much Honey!
your wife,
Kanami”
The netizens who had seen Namie’s post were inspired and wished that they can have the same kind of relationship in the future.
Indeed Namie and her husband showed that a couple can succeed in life through the constant support they give to each other and if the two of them will give their best in whatever they do.
