engaged na si bengkoley!

sa wakas!

well we have been talking about the wedding and all and almost the whole town is asking "when are you going to get married?" .. duh! "he hasn't even proposed yet!" is my usual answer.

until.. until!!! haha until sa trip nmin sa GoldCoast (which we have visited for the nth time!) last February 14 2007 .. yap! "balentymes dey!".. our second anniversary (officially)

bengkoley: siguro sa 2nd yr anniversary ka natin magpropropose anoh!

kengkoley: naku hindi noh napaka-obvious naman nun! dapat yung hindi expected!

bengkoley: ahh... tsk tsk

so that conversation occured around a month before the said proposal date...

and so we drove up to Queensland to escape the busy Sydney life and just chill out on this lovely tropical city and enjoy the tourist attractions..

Feb 14.. around 10am.. we just arrived at the Jupiters Hotel/Casino at Burleigh Heads, Goldcoast. Super pinagpilian ko pa what to wear for this lunch/show thingy and have my hair done and a bit of make-up..just to look my best because it's our anniversary.

kengkoley: mukha kang kangkarot! (referring to my hair)

bengkoley: (teary eyed..) sniff.. sniff.. (at naiyak na talaga) .. i've tried to look my best for you

kengkoley: (a bit shocked that the kangkarot girl cried).. sorry benks.. ang ganda ganda mo nga eh..

naku actually sa lahat ng mga bully etong mapapangasawa ko ang pinaka! daig pa ako manlait!!! haha!!

feb 14 around 8.30pm..

Walking along the famous Cavill Avenue.. balentymes is in da eyr.. may banda banda at sweet nothings around..

bengkoley: gutom na ako! (as always)

kengkoley: halika dun tayo sa Charlie's (where the band was)

bengkoley: ayoko dun breakfast lang dun eh..
kengkoley: tsk tsk.. (he might be thinking of plan b)

at umupo sa bench sa harap ng surfing board clock around 9pm...

kengkoley: hihi si hunybee nagtampo kanina.. kawawa naman

bengkoley: hehe

(by this time may dinudukot na sya sa bulsa nya.. i have a feeling that he's upto something.. oh no.. no... eto na ba un.. oh Lord hindi ata ako ready sa speech ko!!! help help!!!)

kengkoley: hunybee.. papakasalan mo pa ba ako?
bengkoley: (shocked!) oh my gosh... oh my gosh.. pano ba ang dapat i-react.. naku iiyak ba ako.. naku ang dameng dumadaan!!! sabihin corny balentymes day nag propose! oh well WTF who cares!!! "OF COURSE!"
