On August 4, 2011, the night before Pong's birthday, I surprised him with a dinner date at Sofitel.
At exactly 12, I woke him up so he can start his birthday by making a wish and eating a piece of the yummy truffle chocolate cake from Mary Grace.
On his birthday, we attended mass at the Greenbelt Chapel to give thanks for another fruitful year of his life. Then, we had lunch at Chillis.
I was really happy because I can see the glow on Pong's face that day. After the sumptuous lunch, he asked me to go with him to Toy Kingdom. He wanted to buy a Cookie Monster stuff toy so that when we're not together, I won't be sad. I was really touched and I felt like it was my birthday to receive a pricey gift. After buying Cookie Monster, we decided to go home already since I still have work. While I was reading emails, Pong grabbed his guitar and started singing "Marry Me". He usually does that, so I just continued working. There were several times that he would sing the same song, so I thought he's just having fun. The only thing that I couldn't understand was that he was recording every moment he strummed his guitar. I was quite curious; but I couldn't dwell on it too much since I was hooked up at work. Then, there's this last attempt where in he was very serious singing the song. It caught my attention and found myself watching him play. At the end of the song, he popped the question that changed our lives forever. "Will you marry me?" I was really shocked but I knew that Pong is really the man that I've been waiting for a long time. I didn't think twice; with tears and happiness, I said - "YES!"
Here's the video of his proposal. :)
