Hayyyy, Life!!!

This post is way tooooo late… Been (unbelievably!!!) busy these past few days that I didn’t have time for writing this piece, but now, I feel like staying late… i mean, later than I usually do hehehe…

Last July 6,(2006) an officemate proposed to an officemate-friend… ( I know that it was long overdue, but I still want to write this for a friend ;)… )

Sheng has been anticipating (woman’s intuition) this proposal that’s why it was a little hard for Grandpa (that’s how I call his BF, don’t ask why, i don’t wanna offend him, joke hehehe) to hatch a plot that would really surprise Sheng… I’ve never thought though, that someone like Grandpa would ever thought of something this sweet ;)…

Here’s the well-engineered plan… Our Boss is supposed to have Sheng test something (she’s part of the testing team), and Grandpa will be assisting her in recreating the issue… Everyone in our project knows that the proposal is about to take place at around 1130am… I was so excited for her but I was careful not to give her a hint of what was to come…

When the URL to be "tested" was sent to her, all the 90+ people in our floor started standing up and crowding behind them… When the website loaded, Sheng’s tears started falling non-stop… There - in the homepage of our DEV server, is a picture of them in the beach, looking at the sun which was about to set, with grandpa sitting and Sheng lying down with her head on grandpa’s lap… This picture was taken from their back, and was grayscaled - which added drama to the already romantic pic… And there - embedded in the picture were the lines "Baby, will you be mine forever?"… And something like - "Let’s grow old together"…

Grandpa fell on his knees, held Sheng’s hand and asked her to marry him… Of course, Sheng said yes, and they hugged and they kissed…

What a beautiful sight to behold…inexplicable…It rendered me breathless for a few seconds…witnessing two people you’ve know for almost two years, finally wanting to share their lives together…

It was one of the best scenes i’ve witnessed in my life… I was overwhelmed… I’m not one of the hopeless romantics - but I just realized that my tears have fallen involuntarily… When I looked around, most of the girls were wipping tears, and the guys were pretending to be unaffected (wahehe)…

Love is just love, it can never be explained.
