A Night to Remember

Who would ever thought that a high school dream will ever come true?

And I also thought happy endings only happen in fairy tales.

When I was young, I always dreamt of spending a romantic candle light dinner, whether in a five star hotel or in just a private place. Somehow I thought it already happened when we had to eat dinner with candles in our dinner table because of a brownout :P. But then, come to think of it, that’s not valid, haha!

I never expected it to happen. I never really thought it will ever come true.

Thanks to Dove beauty soap, my dream materialized. My Valentine celebration did not end last February, I had another one this April, probably an advanced birthday gift…? A dinner date in a yacht! Woohoo!!!

I was contacted by Fernando of the Unilever team  2 weeks ago informing me that I won in Dove’s Valentine Promo. I was hesitant at first because it was almost April then and I can’t remember joining any contest from Dove. He reminded me of what I did on that promo. Mechanics was to post a romantic song and to tag my partner on that post, person tagged has to comment with lyrics from the song. And well after continuously scrolling down on their fan page, I finally found my entry:


The dinner was set in a private yacht owned by Mr. Jean O. Kim inside the Manila Yacht Club. The captain himself served our food which was prepared by Chef Tim Lee of Annabel Lee Restaurant. 



Everything was so perfect... the candle light.... the wine... the ambiance...the gourmet food.... the water was so calm.... the wind was so cool....  I didn't want to wake up if it was just a dream. Almost forgot... there's fireworks too!



But I'm so glad it was not a dream. Everything was real, it really happened.

Thanks to this wonderful team...





But most specially thanks to Dove for making my dream come true!

Here's some shots of our food!
