November of 2007, the same year I told myself to start exploring different places, I convinced my younger sibling, Maricar to accompany me on a birthday trip. She knows the general manager of Pearl Farm Resort then, Mikel Villarde through their common nature of work so I grab the opportunity to ask her to join me for my birthday. Talking about opportunity, huh? Hehe!
So, October 31 of 2007, we were off to Davao with a stopover in Cebu via the Cebu Pacific.
During that three-day stay at Pearl Farm, I got to discover the non-businesslike side of the Mikel. And on our last night at the Pearl Farm’s Parola Bar while seated on one bench having a drink , Mikel approached me for a serious talk. He told me he found the girl he wanted to marry and it’s my sister! And he’ll do everything for it to happen sooner. He said that with conviction that I knew it would come true.
Indeed, it was very soon! March 20, 2008, four months after that serious talk , I got a text from Maricar who went back to Pearl Farm with my other two younger sisters telling me she’s engaged! I felt her happiness from her messages at that time and couldn’t wait for the details of her engagement. The pictures will tell the rest of the story.
A toast after our dinner to celebrate an advance birthday. (Thinking, where's my partner on that table? Hahah!)
The preparation - check on the placemats - their avatars in YM!
Fetching his soon-to-be fiancee (I miss that speed boat! Hehehe)
On the way to the E-hut (Does Maricar know what's gonna happen? I bet!)
Where the proposal took place (In the middle of the sea, so to speak)
The E-hut - especially made for the occasion (Isn't it sooooo romantic?)
The E-couple – look at the ceiling with the avatars again! Sweet, huh?
The toast of love! Is that champagne?
The E-ring - does it have the 4 Cs? Hmm, you be the judge! (When's mine coming? LOL)
-THE END -
you should've invited me as your partner. lol :D
