hi ey! :)

the good news...

Jon already popped the question!!! ohmigosh!!! ... just yesterday (feb 1) ...niyaya nia ko sa san agustin church (the place where i want to get married)... kunware pa cia na di nia pa alam ung place, so, i led the way there... when we got there, i saw these five doves atop the church's facade... ewan ko, bigla ako kinilabutan... parang sign... hehehe ...anyway, turns out that merong kinakasal (after all, it was a sunday...) ... sabi ko sa kanya nung una, wag na kame pumasok ng church... pero nagpupumilit cia... gusto nia raw kase makita yung loob ng church... so antay kame... eniwey, nag-eenjoy naman ako tumingin ng mga gowns... heheh... nung nakapaglakad na yung entourage sa harap, we went in and just stood there at the back lang... we couldn't sit down bcoz the wedding was ongoing nga... tayo lang kme dun while looking around... he was being extra sweet that time, saying i love u over and over again, kissing me sa cheek n forehead a lotta times, and being extra attentive and all... ako naman, mejo kinakabahan... but i didn't mind it that much... so after mga fifteen minutes, sabi ko, umuwe na kame coz mejo ngalay na ren ako tumayo and i'm feeling a bit hungry na... he said, pray muna raw kame so we did... yun.., dasal kame pareho... after we prayed n i saw him make the sign of the cross, i took his hand... it was SO COLD!!! magkabilang kamay, sobrang lamig!!! so iasked why... sabi naman nia, kc malamig daw... eh may malaking fan kc dun sa malapit samen... pero mejo nagtaka naman ako kc hinde nman nkatapat samen... even more so when i saw his forehead na butil butil yung pawis!!! so i asked, kala ko ba malamig, bat pinapawisan ka??? mejo nagpanic ako ng konte... hahaha... so yun, mejo natutulala na ko i couldn't believe it was happening... he hugged me so tight n he said hun, i have something to ask you... WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! ...he whispered the words "will u marry me" ...and i couldn't answer... i was so speechless i was starting to cry already... tinanong nia ko if i heard him, nakayakap lang ako sa kanya and i nodded and then i whispered of course... and then he knelt then and there with all those people around us and started fidgeting in his pocket!!!! ..ako naman, sobrang panic and i didn't know what to do so tinayo ko na lang cia bigla from where he was kneeling and i just hugged him very very tight... ciempre i couldn't stop smiling and shedding tears at the same time... sobrang hindi ako makapaniwala na it's happenting at that moment... the wedding was not yet over and i'm sure we wanted to do it right so, we waited... and i know he wanted to give me the ring right then and there already pero pinipigilan ko yung kamay nia talaga coz i was holding him nga... so yun, natapos na sa wakas yung kasal and konting konti na lang yung tao sa loob ng church... punta kame dun sa mejo harapan and we sat... and i was just smiling and crying like crazy there... and then he knelt down, said those words again, and after i said yes, he gave me this beautiful diamond ring that he placed on my finger (which luckily eh kasyang kasya... ) ...and so now, my dear friend, we're formally engaged...

after that, we talked (still inside the church)... and lalo pa kong naiyak when he said na ang unang una nia daw pinagpaalamanan eh yung daddy ko ryt before he bought the ring.. (that was november last year pa)... he went dun sa ossuary sa moonwalk (where the ashes of my dad is placed)... alam na ren daw ng mama't papa nia... originally, he planned to ask me pala nung anniversary namen last december coz, i don't know if i told u what happened that time (ah kwento ko na ren... i'm in the mood for kwentos eh --bear with me!!! heheh) ...di ba we checked in at bellevue hotel... that was the most memorable anniversary we had coz it was perfect talaga... ( i really thought he would propose that tym and mejo nadissappoint naman ako ng konte nung hinde --yun pala, talagang plano na nia un... hahah)... eniwey, when we got there in our room pagpasok ko, i was so surprised coz right at the middle of our bed was 7 pieces of long stemmed red roses!!! did u see that pic?? ...he called pala the hotel a day after we went there and said what he wanted.... eniwey, dapat pala, after i saw the roses tapos pagtingin ko sa kanya, eh nakaluhod na cia nun with the ring.... heheh.. kita mo nga naman c jon ano??? kaya lab na lab ko yun eh!!! ...pero what changed his mind pala that tym is the fact that my mom n i were not in good terms that time.... and ayaw nia raw yun... he wanted daw na everything's okay around us... ayun... so kahapon cia nag-propose... haaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy....

eto pa... he told me he had another surprise... and it was that he already reserved the church on DECEMBER 8 (date i want to be married also)... kase di ba, sobrang dami kaya gus2ng magpakasal dun so kailangan talaga ang reservation dun a year ahead... so wat else can i say but... I'm A VERY VERY HAPPY WOMAN!!!
