Magkatrabaho kami sa Webcast Technologies Inc. As a new employee, winelcome nila ako warmingly ng group nila na si AJ, Karen at Josh. 

During my first week, gumawa sila ng group chat naming apat tapos meron sila dun dinrop na message na parang mala-slam note ang mga questions para daw mas makilala nila ako. 

Hanggang sa sumasama na ako ng mas madalas kapag nag i-eat out sila after office. At dun kami naging mas close pa as a friend.

Usual day lang naman na may bagong employee, but this new employee seems different. For some reason, I remembered her from the day she got her JO. 

Since I'm curious, Naginitiate ako ng Group chat with my Friends Karen and AJ to get to know her called "GTKH" or Getting to know her. There I found out she's taken and is off limits so I kind of put down all my hopes. 

Although, ayoko rin naman sayangin ang chance na magkaroon ng bagong kaibigan. We always hang out as a group ever since.

We started as a friend. Close sila ng ka-team ko na si AJ. Kaya madalas ko na din siya nakakasama kapag naglulunch kami ni AJ. 

Then one day, inaasar siya ni Zhed, one of our BDMs. Pag dumadaan ako sa area nila, sasabihin ni Zhed "Zet crush ka ni Josh". 

Akala ko joke joke lang or nangtritrip lang. Then one time, nag hangout kami ng Webcast employees sa Central. Dun sinabi nila na crush nga talaga ako ni Josh. 

Then one day, he asked me if I can be his girlfriend. I said "Yes!", then our history began.

Since the day I met her, di na talaga maiwasan na magka-harmless crush on her. Lunch times, eat outs, free times etc. It's growing each time that I didn't even noticed that it is getting obvious. 

Until Zhed, which is a “Supportive” Teammate started telling her, as a joke, that I have a crush on her. Nacorner ako sa isang inuman. habang nagkakasaya sa inuman nagkaroon na nga ako ng lakas ng loob na umamin ng nararamdaman. 

Months go by, we started talking about each other's problems, getting to know each other a little deeper. 

One day, I sincerely and secretly messaged her mom (who was working abroad at the time) that I wanted to pursue her daughter. She approved, and so I asked her.

April 14, 2021. That was Wednesday. Anniversary day namin. Usually, pag may special occasion, 1 or 2 weeks prior, naghahanap na ako ng mapupuntahan namin. But this time, I dont know, di ako prepared at hindi rin naman siya nangungulit na maghanap ako ng place na pwede namin puntahan. Nasanay na din kasi ako sa mga lakad namin na spontaneous lang so I thought that day, sponty lang. 

We're on leave but we are still working nung kinaumagahan ng April 14. 2pm on the same day, pinapatigil niya na ako magwork. Maligo na daw ako at may pupuntahan daw kami. He even ironed my clothes (unusual him). Mag ayos daw ako at magdamit ng maganda. I thought kakain lang kami sa fine dining. Pero pag dating sa parking, nagulat ako kasi sa harap kami ng mga yacht nag park. Again, unusual him ang mag book and arrange ng pupuntahan namin.

I felt very special that day. I didn't even realize na proposal day na pala iyon.. akala ko kakain at magcecelebrate lang kami ng anniversary namin. Perfect ang pagkakaset up table and food. While we are eating, may inabot siya sakin na box. I pulled out the pictures from the box and at the end, there's a note "will you marry me". He knelt and asked me again. Of course I said "YES".

This is what Cloud nine feels like.

Fast forward after the proposal, he shared the BTS of our special day. He asked permission first to my loved ones before he asked me to marry him. Thankfully, happy naman ang family ko na ibigay ang kamay ko sakanya. He also asked our friends, Karen and AJ to help him with the preparation of the proposal.

Weeks after, I still can't believe that I'm engaged. We're getting married at bubuo ng pamilya. Thanking God for blessing me more than I deserve. 

November 2020, I decided that I want to spend the rest of my life with Zet at dun na din ako nagsimula maghanap ng ring for her. Thanks to my sister Irene, we bought the ring very secretly since lagi kaming magkasama ni Zet kaya sobrang hirap itago. 

Gusto ko makuha ang approval ng family ni Zet, unfortunately, due to the  pandemic, mahirap makipag meet, so instead, I messaged her Sister Geriza and her mom for permission. Thankfully, they gave me their blessing and wishes. I am so happy and excited!

1 week na lang bago ang Proposal Day wala pa din akong napaplano sa Setup. Thanks to AJ and Karen, through our Viber Ghost Group Chat na kinicreate lang pag need - nagkaroon ako ng mga ideas. 2 days before the proposal day, tinulungan ako ni Karen na mag last minute book yung Yacht dinner idea and nakipag coordinate sa setup preferences. 

April 14 2021, This is the day! Nakaleave kami sa trabaho kaso madaming need tapusin kaya hinayaan ko na lang na magwork kami, pero maya't maya ang tingin ko sa relo. Since wala siyang idea sa mangyayare, ako nagdidictate ng gagawin, pinaligo ko na siya at pinagbihis ng medyo formal na damit. 

Hindi ako kinakabahan for some reason, excited ako na makita niya yung setup and plus, first time namin mag yacht date. Nung Inabot ko sa kanya yung box na gawa ng Eleventh Events na may nakalagay na "Will you marry me?" biglang nagmamadali na umikot yung dugo ko sa katawan, pero nakayanan ko pa rin lumuhod para mag propose. 

Kitang kita ko sa kanya ang kaba at ganun din naman ako. tumahimik siya for good 5 seconds. the longest 5 seconds i have ever felt.

And finally, she said "YES". and the rest is history!
