The Day she said "YES"...

In the early morning of Oct 26 2009, i slept at her house, just got a little sleep and woke up exactly at 5am, i texted my friends to come in her house like we planned, i told them to come as early as 5:30am because they have this tendency of getting late at times... but i was shocked to see them all with their motorcycles in front of the house... i got out and told them to wait...

I called home, my tita doyie picked-up the phone and said that they are ready... and i told them to come... i immediately woke up joy(her sister), her mama and papa, and also her aunts,uncles and her tatay and nanay(her grandparents) who happens to lived along side their house...

here are some of the photos...

originally, the plan is to gather them all up outside the gate, and i will go wake her up to go outside... but its harder than i expected it to be... she refuses to wake up... its almost 6:30am, and yes, she was not used in waking up early in the morning unless she has work to do... i tried and so her mama but we failed several times... but then, i told to all of them to go inside the house (of course, as with the approval of her mama) and wait outside the door to her room... then i go inside her room... and finally, after so many reasonings, lullabies and allibies, i convinced her to go out off her room (with her familiar angry lion face of course)... hehe...


and shocked like she'd ever been in her life (in her natural post-sleep aura) when she saw everybody on their living room ...
with a tear in her eye, i guess at this moment she knew what was coming... then i start to speak... and everybody stood still and listened...
then wholeheartedly, i spoke
"sabi nga nila, sa hinaba-haba man ng pursisyon... tayo din naman pla... "
at this point, i saw her mama and my mom crying...
"alam mo, sa tinagal tagal natin magkasama, marami na tayong pinagdaanan... halos nasabi ko na sa'yo lahat ng dapat mong malaman sa akin pero ngayon ko lang sasabihin sa'yo 'to...
Sa pagsikat ng araw, sa harap ng mga mahal natin sa buhay,
i... am... asking you... "
i knelt and pulled a ring and said...
"Will you marry me??..."
and after she said sarcastically, "Nakakainis ka talaga!!!"... while she was crying, she looked at me and said... "Yes... Yes... Yes..." then she bear-hugged me... and end it with a kiss...

Everyone went crazy... some of them shed a tear... while some shed more... and later that she realized she didn't brush her teeth yet, comb her hair and even wore a bra... she rushed to the wash room and go to her room to fixed herself up... well, funny as it is... but that's what this is all about... i plan it to be so natural, maybe not as formal as it supposed to be... but in a natural way in our natural real self in front of all the people that we loved over the years... and for me, that is the most important thing...
