Talk about the future
Okay. There’s still a verrry slight possibility I might change my mind. But I think I found THE perfect song for our first dance. 
I hope he likes it too.
La, La, La, La, La, La, La…
I can imagine us dancing with this song. *Chuckles*
Just another love letter
Eight years ago, I found my soul mate in you. You didn’t appear as the knight in shining armor. You didn’t sweep me off my feet the first time we met. I thought you were the most arrogant boy in the class. And then we became friends.
We’ve come a long way since high school. The petty crush I started feeling for you turned into something very deep. I know I’m a complicated girl but you always get me. You’re optimistic when I am pessimistic. You keep you’re cool when I’m running out of patience. You’re willing to try harder when I feel like giving up. You’re the one keeping me from falling apart. You’re the only thing right in my life right now. You taught me how to grow up. You’re a great teacher, my best friend and my one true hero.
I remembered the first time you asked me to dance with you. We were in high school and we were so young. I said ‘NO’ but you kept trying anyway. It’s funny I couldn’t even grant your simple request back then after all you’ve done for me right now. I wish we could go back to that day and I would have said yes. But since we can’t, may I ask that to have this dance with you instead?
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
Won’t you promise me (now won’t you promise me, that you’ll never forget)
We’ll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next
It’s like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It’s one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance? Can I have this dance?
I’m coming home soon…
The Proposal
Earlier in the afternoon of August 8, 2008, my honey was asking me where I wanted to have our dinner date. He said it’s better for us to know early so we can just go directly in the evening and not waste time. I suggested we go somewhere close, inside the Jomtien area. We then decided to go to the Palm Terrace, a restaurant just in front of the Jomtien Palm Beach Resort where we had our spa and bowling game earlier.
We arrived at around 10pm with our rented scooter. Some people were looking at us as we were dressed formally – my honey having his tie and me wearing a nice dress. When we got to the place, we ordered some food and I immediately got occupied taking photos. The place was nice. It was an outdoor restaurant and we had candlelight dinner. Just across the street, the beach was overlooking. The place was really romantic. It was perfect.
When they served the food, I was busy viewing the photos I took out of my camera. I did not realize right away that the last meal served in front of me was a plate of an engagement ring! When I did notice, my honey took the ring and said his speech. I was really caught off guard, I was shocked. I did not hear a word he was saying, it was like everything was on mute. The only words that really struck me was the last line “…will you marry me?” Perhaps it was the line I was waiting for as it was my cue for saying my part. Still, I was in complete shock. I got nervous and did not respond right away. When I came back to my senses, I said “Yes! Of course I will!” with “Yes” in a different tone, my honey implied. 
It was so obvious I was nervous. He was teary eyed and I was still in shock. When the proposal was finished, I asked him to repeat what he said earlier since I had not heard any of it except for the last line. It was so funny and embarrassing. 
He later revealed that he wanted to know where I wanted to eat for dinner so he can arrange everything. The original plan was to stuff the ring inside a cake, but there was no enough time. The proposal was a cliché, the ones you usually watch in movies. But it felt so special when you experience it personally. I cannot believe it. He had chosen the perfect place and the perfect moment. He made 08-08-08 an unforgettable date, indeed! I earned myself a fiancé and I fell in love all over again.
What happened in Thailand…
I’m back from my vacation, which I’ll write about real soon. Just thought I’d share that… I just earned myself a fiancé!
