We were in our Coron trip with our high school friends last October 22, 2022 when he decided to propose. A little background on what happened, it was my birthday when he finally proposed to me. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first because I was actually expecting a surprise birthday from my friends. I dressed up nicely, expecting them to throw a little surprise party. When I went up to the rooftop where my friends were waiting for me, it was a bar area of the hotel where we were staying. When I arrived, they were all quiet, as if they hadn't prepared any surprises for me. It took me about 15 minutes to accept that they hadn't planned anything for my birthday.

After that moment, my best friend, Eddie Kim, who was one of the main accomplices of the proposal, was quite nervous about how he would pull off the surprise proposal they had planned for me. While trying to figure out a way to convince me to go to the boys' room, he came up with an idea. He asked me to accompany him to their room so he could show me all the pictures we had on his phone, as his phone's memory was full and he needed to transfer them immediately to delete them. This was all part of his plan to get me into their room for the proposal. So, I, along with Nilo, went with him to their room, not knowing about their plan.

Upon entering their room, I saw balloons on their bed with a big note that I initially thought was just a birthday surprise. It wasn't until I turned around that I realized it was actually a wedding proposal from Nilo, my long-time boyfriend. The proposal was so unexpected that it made me cry. Nilo, who was behind me, had the ring ready and got down on one knee to ask me if I would spend the rest of my life with him. It was heartwarming and overwhelming at the same time, but how could I say no to someone I've wanted to be with for the rest of our lives? And so, definitely, I said, "Yes!"
