In the beginning...
It all started around July 1998.  Ganns was part of an R&B group called ReVerse (which eventually renamed itself as Release).  He was a fresh graduate from the Ateneo de Manila, and had landed a job at the De La Salle University and St. Scholastica's College, teaching English.  Cathy, meanwhile, was a teacher at the De La Salle University, where she taught and from where she graduated with a degree in psychology.
     Gerald Dimailig, a good friend
of Ganns', had a girlfriend at the
time named Christine Gonsalvo,
who, it turns out, was a good friend
of Cathy's.  Christine brought Cathy
to a Release concert at the Music
Museum, where she spotted Ganns
playing keyboards.  She found him
cute (and will deny it to this day),
but found the drummer, Mike
Constantino, even cuter. 
    Ger and Christine matched the two up by sending Ganns to visit Caths at DLSU's Psychology Department, which was only a floor above the English Languages Department, where Ganns worked as a part-time teacher.
     The two went to the now-closed L.A. Yaki restaurant in University Mall beside DLSU.  Ganns remembers the foreshadowing.
     "I really liked her," he says, "but I have to admit the food wasn't so good.  I ordered oysters and it ruined my tummy."
