Breakfast and Tiffany

September 9 2007.

Chev surprised me with breakfast at The Boutique in Tagaytay like he had never done before.

I felt really bad when he gave me the surprise because I've been giving him a lot of heat about not paying much attention to me since I got back from the States. I rattled on and on about how he didn't even plan anything for us when I got back. It was Low Self Esteem and Bad Career week and he was taking the toll. Poor Chevy.

So imagine my face, when, in the middle of my ranting, he pulled up in front of The Boutique and told me he made reservations.Weeks ago.

I hugged him like a girlfriend would hug her boyfriend in my situation.

We had a normal breakfast. This exact spread.

He was not that normal. Extra sweet and affectionate. Told me the nicest and gushiest things. Barely touched his food.

Then he popped the question of all questions. Like he normally does when we're extra sweet and cuddly. And I said "yes I will...we will..soon" like I always do.

So I turned back to my food and chatted up a storm about how excited I was to taste their breakfast and then I saw this shiny thing near my plate.

And he gave me a ring like he has never done before. A ring I have never received before.

And I hugged him like a girlfriend would hug her boyfriend in my situation.

Only then, at that exact moment, I stopped being a girlfriend. I became a fiance.

And I hugged my fiance like I have never done before.
