Giving merit to the power of positive thinking and manifestation, Toni reshared on August 15, 2023, an Instagram post from 2015 that had seemingly faded into the app's archives.
The now-deleted social-media post featured a snap of Toni with a boy and a girl during her work trip to Japan, accompanied by a caption that read, "One day, I'll have a boy and a girl."
In her Instagram Stories, Toni shared the back story behind the throwback photo that had been captured during the filming of the ABS-CBN sitcom Home Sweetie Home.
"I remember this post I deleted after. I saw a boy and a girl sibling in Japan," Toni reminisced.
"Cute na cute ako, I asked the mom if I can play and take pics with them. She allowed.
"We were taping Home Sweetie Home then in Japan."
Little did she know that this seemingly innocuous wish and snapshot would set the wheels of her life in motion.
"This was Jan 10, and Jan 20, on my birthday, Paul proposed," Toni recounted.
