this could give the romantic PINOYs an idea how to use technology when proposing to their chosen ones, see how Google software engineer Ari Gilder used Google Maps to direct his girlfriend around New York en route to her prize, a wedding proposal.
Ari Gilder orchestrated the “ultimate romantic scavenger hunt” for his girlfriend, Faigy, to ask for her hand in marriage.
