As the Valentine season approaches, Close Up invites everyone to share their romantic expressions in Lovapalooza on Feb. 11.

There will be four simultaneous romance parties along Roxas Blvd. Baywalk in Manila, Bayanihan Park in Angeles, Ayala Business Park in Cebu and Matina Town Square in Davao.

This year, Close Up will make love dreams come true as it brings to life your romantic wishes.

Here are inspiring stories of couples whose "kilig moments" depict fantasy-like tales.

After over a year of dating, Ditoy Aguila sealed their romance with a proposal to Digital Tour host Iya Yotoko through live national television!

"I was so nervous the whole time because I wanted it to be a perfect moment to say it! I was so relieved that I was able to deliver my message from the heart!" recalled Ditoy.

Basketball star Vince Hizon’s proposal to sportscaster Shaan Bermudez was nothing short of a heart-pumping basketball game!

"I was doing the sporstcast when in the middle of the game, I turned around in mid-sentence and saw Vince, armed with flowers and a microphone. He said, ‘Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be Mrs. Vince Hizon?’" shared Shaan.

"After a long and deep breath, I said ‘yes’! It was like a buzzer-beating, championship-winning moment for the crowd. It was pure magic," Shaan continued.

Businessman Noel dela Merced on the other hand, rented an EDSA billboard to profess love to wife Ginggay.

"Many ask me why I did it. The answer is… I did it for her. I didn’t think of what others would say. It was to show my devotion that I was willing to scream to thousands my love for her," explained Noel.

The billboard read: "Ginggay, I love you. Noel."

It was a ballroom bliss for TV commercial producer Steve Vesagas and lawyer Shy Sison.

"I booked a big venue in a hotel. On perfect cue, the doors opened to reveal a candle-lit room filled with flowers and showered with petals," related Steve.

"As Shy stepped in, a wide plasma TV showed an audio-visual presentation of candid photos I took of her. As the last photo faded out, a sentence slowly faded in. It read: ‘Will you marry me?’ As soon as I gave her the ring, she started to tremble. She almost forgot to reply with a yes!"

Inspired enough? You too can melt your loved one’s heart at Close-Up Lovapalooza, the ultimate venue of romance.

There will be 16 expressions of love during the Close-Up Lovapalooza and yours can be one of them.

Just share your own sweet strategy and send it to Visions and Expression: Room 303 Townes Bldg., Pasay Rd., Makati City before Jan. 31.
