one rainy evening that blew me away…

We celebrated our 19th monthsary yesterday. Chito has forgotten our monthsaries for the past 2 or 3 months. He said he’ll make up for it this time. He picked me up from my meeting and headed to somewhere I don’t know. He won’t say where we’d go but I had a place at the back of my mind…had an inkling he’d take me to Westin.

There was grueling traffic…and it was raining really hard. So to keep ourselves preoccupied and to let us still enjoy the evening (despite the weather)…I played the Acoustic Night live CD, and we sang…and I sang my heart out too.. Our fave song was there as well…Spend my life by U-turn. I feel so light whenever I hear that song.

Then we got to Westin. For starters, he knew that the first time I went there, I immediately fell in love with the place. (By the way, Westin was one of my accounts when I was still with an ad agency). He took me there when were still dating and we had a great time. When we got there, Café Plaza was under renovation but they set up the back end for those who’d like to dine.

The food…was really goooood.. there goes my diet…I ate a lot! Afterwards, we took a walk at the poolside / garden overlooking the bay. The grounds were wet but we felt we had to walk around coz we were so damn full! We talked about the first time we were there and how much we enjoyed each other’s company, etc.

Then we stopped and he asked if I wanted some mints…I looked and saw he was holding a diamond ring! I was speechless and kinda confused of what’s happening. He knelt (and the ground was still wet here) and asked “Will you marry me?” All I said the whole time he was kneeling was “seryoso ka?” I think I said a million of “seryoso ka?” he was just looking at me put it in my finger and hugged me. That’s the time I said “YES!”

I was soo surprised..it was really unexpected. The ring was soo pretty. It’s just an icing in the cake…I knew all along he was the one for me…he’s God’s blessing that I’d forever be thankful for.

I’m still kinikilig sobra…and I can’t keep but look at the ring and remember how God has blessed me with such a beautiful person coming into my life….
