I'm officially engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgive the massive exclamation points, I'm just very happy to be wearing this lovely heart-shaped diamond ring on my finger. Mr. JE popped the question over lunch yesterday as we were about to have dessert.

I was expecting that he will propose (officially) on December, but to say that I did not hope for it, would be a lie. You see, we've been planning our wedding for months now. Eversince, we told our families of our plans of getting married next year.

The official proposal happened at Rise, a buffet-style restaurant, located at the lobby of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. We initially planned on having breakfast but I learned that it's only open for hotel guests.

Anyway, we went for lunch and we are seated near the buffet. Because we went there with an empty stomach, I can't wait to eat. Sorry PG (patay gutom) mode! Hahaha.

The unsuspecting me just enjoyed the lunch buffet which includes sushi and sashimi bar, tandoori station, pasta, noodles and many more. I loved the carbonara and the california maki! I was even eyeing for the chocolate fountain even before I finished the main course. And if you know me personally, I just love chocolates!!

When it's Mr. JE's turn for the dessert buffet, it took him a while but I did not suspect anything, since I am still enjoying my food. When he came back, I stood up because I saw they refilled the strawberry beside the chocolate fountain. But he stopped me, and told me to look at his plate.

There it was, the RING!!! I was stunned, I honestly don't know how to react. But without a word, I sat down, and waited for him to say something... It was all a blur, I just wish somebody did capture that moment on video, to see how did I react or what did I say exactly. I just remember him saying the magic word, "Will you marry me?" Hehehe!

I did not even remember saying yes to him. The next thing I knew, the RING (pictures to follow) was already on my ring finger, and I'm in LOVE (& Co) with it!

P.S. He told me, that the first word that came out of my mouth when I saw the ring was... "Kukunin ko na ba ito?" Hahahaha! How anti-climactic of me! I just made him re-enact the moment a few minutes after, when we were finished with the buffet and already outside the hotel, in full view of the Singapore CBD.

Finally, I said, "A thousand times, YES YES YES!" It's so surreal.
