He may not be a
showy-type of boyfriend, never gave flowers nor chocolates, celebrates
monthsaries or goes on a movie date like a typical bf/gf does but he makes it
appoint that he will let me feel every single day how precious and lucky I am
to have and be with him.
Before my birthday dinner,
we already agreed that we will just have a family dinner exactly on my birthday
and that we will just have a barbecue dinner on a weekend as 2nd part of my
birthday celebration with some of close friends and relatives nearby our area.
He even told me “Just invite your closest cousins and neighbors since it’s only
bbq and I don’t want to have plenty of people around”. Though
irritated, it was really not a big deal to have or not to have a birthday party
so I just invited cousins near to our place and some few friends but when I
asked them to confirm, they never contacted me at all… quite frustrated but
that’s life, they might be busy and I do understand.
Early morning on the
day of the barbecue party, Steve woke me up to go to a salon and pamper myself.
I really refused since first, my hair is fine and secondly, it was my holiday
and I didn’t want to wake up early. I kept on telling him that I didn’t want to
go there and preferred to just stay at home and help them do the marinating but
my mom and my sister Sharon told me that they would love to go and have their
hair done. Even Rhyz and Shyne were interested so I had no choice but to go
with them and stayed there all day from 930am- 6pm.
Everyone, once finished went home until only Mom and
I we're left there. When mom finished her hair, we called the house and told
them that they can now pick us up. To my surprise, my uncle, Diko Iking was the
one who showed up saying that the guys were too busy for the barbecue party
(his place is in Cavite which is approximately 3 hours’ drive from our area!)
And not only that, at the gate of our subdivision, I even saw my cousin with
her boyfriend waiting for a tricycle (3-wheeled motorcycle) so I told my mom
and uncle that I saw Makki and asked mom to stop to get them but mom said that
they might be going to a party elsewhere and kids were already waiting for us
so we have to be in a hurry. While approaching the house, there were tents
outside, elegant table arrangements, catering and almost all my relatives and
friends were there... I was really stunned! That was really a surprise!
Steve in connivance with my family, arranged everything including
fireworks displays, catering services and invited everyone. I only asked for a
dinner with my family but what he gave me was an experience I will truly
treasure for the rest of my life. He told me that he’s about to propose on that
day in front of my relatives and friends but since he already proposed… this is
now my surprised birthday and our engagement party that ended up at 6am the
following day! Take note, my Uncle Romy said that he got drunk twice that
night!
Best Birthday ever had!
