I haven’t been able to post much for the past few days because I’ve really been busy preparing for one of the biggest days of my life. Just this Sunday, October 18, 2009, I proposed to my girlfriend of almost 9 years at our Sunday service at Victory Greenhills in Music Museum. It was good timing since I was going up the stage anyway to introduce the website for our church to the crowd. After introducing it at the 5PM service, I made a call for volunteers and announced a video. The video is actually something that we worked on the prior night which basically shows a collage of pictures and some shots of me putting on a coat and tie for the actual proposal. Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure:
After the video, I came out on stage wearing the same outfit in the video and I walked up to her. My proposal went something like this:
“Mich and I have been together for almost 9 years. For the longest time, it was all about me. Then later on it was all about her. After almost 9 years though I finally got it. It wasn’t about her or me, it was always about and will always be about God.”
I walked up to her and then said:
“When no one believed in me, you were there. When I was down, you pushed me up. If you’ll let me, I’d like to take care of you for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?”
She said yes. 
We had a quiet dinner at Lemuria after followed by a small engagement celebration at the Victory Center in Promenade, Greenhills. I’m still a bit tired from the whole emotional, spiritual, and physical roller coaster. I’ll write some more coherent posts about the proposal when my brain starts to function normally again, haha!
EDIT: Just found this video of the actual proposal on video.
Just some other blogs on the proposal:

Thank you so much to my spiritual family in Victory Greenhills for all the support and the inspiration. You guys are such a blessing to me and Mich. To Dodge and Kuya Marc, thank you for helping out as well, especially with the logistics and the video. To everyone who came and witnessed the proposal and joined us for the celebration, a big thank you for making the night special for me and Mich!
PS: One of my good friends got the entire proposal on video. He’ll upload it on Youtube soon. I’ll re-post it here when he uploads.
