Nigel and I have talked about getting married before we even lived together. Somehow we knew that will grow old together. I knew that it was going to happen but I just didn't know when. We were on a vacation in the Philippines. It was Nigel's first time and we were both excited for this new experience for him. The day after we landed, we took another flight to Coron, Palawan. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. 

As many of you know, Nigel is not a morning person. However, that particular morning he woke up at 5am! I thought he was still jet lagged. He wanted to go for a morning walk around the area and possibly up the mountain that we can climb (with stairs). As many of you know, I was 6 months pregnant with Nara at the time. He packed me some water, brownies, chocolate almonds and I agreed to go. I figured if I got tired, he could carry me down. When we got to the top, we watched the sunrise together. There were other people at the top of the mountain, admiring the spectacular view. After a few minutes, I wanted to come down so we wouldn't miss the breakfast back at the resort. He kept insisting to stay longer and I was getting...well...hungry! As I turned around to call him to come down, there he was on his knees with the ring. He didn't promise me riches and glory, but to continue loving me for who I am and vowed to be my partner, my team, my companion. To overcome our obstacles and enjoy the good things in life.
