"Till I Met You"
It was Sunday afternoon around 1:40pm when it was scheduled for my flight to manila. I was so excited that time, because of the mixed emotion that I have felt, because of the excitement I left home around 09:30am, but when I arrived at Cagayan de Oro Domestic Airport, my flight was cancelled, and got worried because of my delayed scheduled. I don’t know what to do, hence I approaches one of the staff of Cebu Pacific to asked for help if they can transfer me to another flight schedule, what they did is they transfer me to another plane (Air Philippines) which is the scheduled flight is around 10:30am.The time that I was in the plane, I almost cried its because I thought that I would missed the flight for Manila, but anyway at least I cached the last flight which makes me feel lucky.
September 03,2006 Sunday around 12:00pm, I arrived at Manila Domestic Airport. It was a 1.5hours travel, but still nervous and praying that i wont collapsed when I saw Chris approaching towards me in the NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport). Around 1pm I took a ride by a jeep going to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to fetched and meet Chris for the first time. The feelings was so intense since I don’t know what would be his reaction when we meet, I was thinking whether things will still the same after we meet and get to know each other more better, but still I am always happy that we were able to meet and see each other, feel the hugs, and kisses.
It was 4 pm in the afternoon, when Qatar Airways arrived from UK landed in the international airport. That time when i saw the plane, my heart started to beat too fast that i am feeling so cold and tense, as what i said mixed emotion that i cant help it. Minutes later while waiting for him in the departure area, my mobile ring, and my hands are shaking because I know he is the one who called me, because he is worried and thinking of me whether I arrived in the airport because he knew that we are the same time schedule when I arrived in Manila Domestic Airport, and now I am nervous again, because I saw him walking towards me with a big smile in his face. I want to give him a big hug and kiss him, its the feeling that i cant stop when you have a special feeling towards the person and haven’t seen for a while, and thinking that all must be impossible, but still God gave us time to meet and able to learned each other, and this is the day that everything may happen if you just believe and trust each other, and we will spend our first night in a hotel.
" First Night"
It was in a Hotel when we decided to have our first romantic dinner, and after that he teaches me how to play billiard.
*September 04, 2006
It was a fine morning when we had a breakfast at the hotels restaurant. Then, followed by a short tour or site seeing at the hotel, where it is over looking Manila. We visited the jeepney factory, and seen the old style of the jeepney used since world war I and World War II. After visiting, the jeepney factory we went to the Las Piñas City to see the historic "Bamboo Organ", and I saw a girl playing the organ for us, a great musician which she play a beautiful love song for us. After Las Piñas, next stop is Tagaytay, where I’ve seen the over looking small islands near Tagaytay.
After the tour, we decided to eat at the finest Zamboanga Restaurant, with the cultural dancer & musician, we had a romantic dinner with the service crew and the stuff of the restaurant. Meanwhile, Chris requested a song dedicated to her special someone named (Irene). After the dinner we went to a Ratsky Bar, we really enjoyed the singers, and dancing with the music, after that I realized that Chris is a nice and gentleman person, and that time I have slowly developed what I have felt for him.

It was 03:40pm, which is the scheduled flight to Kalibo, Aklan, and then was planning to stay there for 5 days. While waiting for the flight Chris enjoyed taking pictures for both of us. I was excited to see the beauty of Boracay since I haven’t been seen it before. And I think Chris felt that too.
Chris love taking pictures about nature, and different things that she loved to look at, and I could say that Chris is a good photographer. We landed in Kalibo, Aklan at 04:30pm, and I saw that the airport is very clean and friendly and hospitable people that welcomed us. After the flight we took a van to Caticlan, Aklan, while in the van we keep teasing each other, and I could say that Chris is a sweet and affectionate person. When we arrived in Caticlan we transferred to a passenger ferryboat to Boracay Island, which took us 30minutes, then ride a single motorcycle to reach the hotel.
It is 07:30pm when we arrived in the hotel, and then we eat our dinner at the restaurant. Even it was a tiring day but still we tend to smile and we enjoy the travel.
“September 06,2006”
It was a fair morning, we eat breakfast then went to the beach to have a small walk and feel the fresh air and take some pictures, and enjoying the beauty of Boracay.
After a short walk we stayed at the mini bar located in the hotel, we drink and meet new friends. That night we meet 2 good guys from London and Canada (Aaron & Beth) and we were talking about the beautiful places in the Island, and invited them to a live music concert called “coco manggas” and enjoyed dancing and drinking beer. We’ve been partying all night, and are proud to be with Chris, and liked being with him. Then after the long night we went back to the hotel room for another day for tomorrow.
“September 07, 2006”
We went to a store and buy a map of the island since we were planning to hiked the entire island, and infact after we bought a map we’ve been hiking half of the island. After 3 hours we decided to rent a boat, to see the neighboring island of Boracay.
First stop we went to Laurel Island, then they do have 2 caves, then the first cave, is attractive since they do have underground water, and I can even see the colorful fish around the cave, we stayed for awhile and swim. The second cave is just the same from the first cave but I would prefer the first island to be attractive.
Second stop we went to Crocodile Island, we enjoyed snorkeling, sailing, and enjoyed catching the fish but they are too fast and hard to catch. I wanted to stay longer, but its getting dark so we decided to go back to the hotel. It was late evening when we arrived in the hotel and has our dinner, meets some friends, and listen to live music near the hotel. We’ve been enjoying the night together since it would be the last time since one of our friends will leave and go back home to Canada. Chris and I are dancing the whole night; Chris turns me on when he started to dance.
“September 08, 2006”
It was late in the morning when we wake up, after the late party. After the lat breakfast, we decided to rent a single motor, and started to visit the “Cave Bat”. It was a hard experience for me since there are big rocks under the cave. We decided to swim for a while, then we went out from the Bat Cave, and I could say it is much easier to go back than going into the bat cave.
Second stop is in Crystal Cave; the stones, which sparkle around, amazed me. The last place we visit was the overlooking views were I could see the entire island from the High Top. (Chris was enjoying taking pictures when he was in the top). I appreciate Chris as he is a good rider with a motorcycle cant believe he can do it.
When eating a dinner, Chris started to talk seriously about us, whether we wanted to continue what we have started and some plans for the future ahead. After dinner we meet Garrett and Aaron, a nice and good guys from London and Canada.
“September 09, 2006”
I was very tired and can’t get up after a party last night. After breakfast we went to the beach in front of the hotel, and hour ago we saw Garrett and Aaron having breakfast in the hotel. After swimming we decided to have an Island Hopping for the last day in Boracay.
“September 10, 2006”

“It doesn't take a reason to love someone, but it does to like someone. You don't love someone because you want to, you love someone because you are destined too. It's because you fall in Love with them, that you then try to find a reason, but you always come up with the answer, No reason!”

“ September 19, 2006”
The last day of our vacation with Chris, I know it’s hard to say goodbye to a person whom you spend for almost 3 weeks and feel attached to you. I know its now yet the end of our journey, and just being patient and try to understand that we need to end it.
It was in the noontime when we left the hotel and went to International Airport for Chris scheduled flight back to UK. When were inside the taxi, I feel sad, a feeling that I don’t want that Chris left, but I don’t have a choice but to accept the fact. I know only the memories and pictures are the things left and I will always remember the presence of Chris in my heart. I will always love and wait him for the second time around. I love you, Honey!!

To My True Love
I’ve waited a lifetime for you
I’ve searched the whole world over,
looking for your love.
Some days I never thought I’d find you
And I wanted to give up
So many other faces, so many wrong embraces
Trying to find one heart that felt like home to me.
None of them could ever compare to you love,
You are my strength, my joy.
You give me comfort from the storm
You make me smile on cloudy days
You keep me safe and warm.
I would be so lost without you,
Your love is so pure and true
Your heart, so beautiful and kind
Because you’ve walked that long, lonely road
That made you who you are (mine!).
I know it’s been a hard long journey
And it may get harder still
But together we can lift each other
Our strength will get us through
I’ll never give up; I’ll never give in
As long as I have you.
When I look into your eyes
I know that love is real
When you hold me in your arms love,
Nothing else compares
Let me lay here with you forever
And gaze at your beautiful face
And dream of our life together
Lost in your embrace.

Till I Met You Lyrics
I never dream
'Cause I always thought that dreamin' was for kids
Just a childish thing
And I could swear
Love is just a game that children play
And no more than a game
Till I met you
I never knew what I love was
Till I met you
This feelin' seems to grow more everyday
I love you more each day
I believe you
I believe in every word when you say
"I love you all the way."
Now I could swear
Love is not a game that children play
So tell me that you'll stay
Till I met you
I never knew what I love was
Till I met you
This feelin' seems to grow more everyday
I love you more each day
Woh...woh
You and I should be together
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Till I met you
I never knew what I love was
Till I met you
This feelin' seems to grow more everyday
I love you more each day
Till I met you
Till I met you
Till I met you
