Everything I shared with my honey is very much memorable but the most unforgettable was on my bday, it has been our tradition to go to boracay as my bday getaway and March of 2007 he brought with him his nephew and the fiance. Upon arrival at the hotel we always stay in, everyone were looking at me and greeting me happy bday and his nephew had that big smile on his face. I didn't mind it and went straight to our room just to cry aloud because inside was a welcome note from the hotel with his surname after my name! Then I ran outside to look for him, he was outside by the beach near a sand castle so I ran towards him only to stop a meter from him: the sand castle was actually a personalized castle for my bday, with his surname after my name. Then he knelt and proposed! PRICELESS and THE MOST ROMANTIC he ever did.

The funniest was when I told him to ride a tricycle in Cubao to go to my office, since I had with my a lady friend he had to take the back ride. He rode the tricycle with his back on the back of the driver.Hehehehehehe....so funny he even laughed out loud when I told him the right way to do it.

Hi guys!!!!I really want to post this topic hope it was not tackled before so....."what is the most unforgettable or funniest story with your man/woman during his visit here in Phil? :star:

There are plenty of unforgettable & funny moments I can recall at the time my fiance was in the Philippines with me. One unforgettable moment I can remember is the first time I saw Nik at Mactan Airport after 2 years of waiting to be in his arms. I was mesmerized when I saw him walking towards me-he is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my whole life! I could not believe he actually looked so attractive in person. We both laughed and cried after our first kiss & embrace. Second favorite memory I can recall was when I woke up in the morning and he was there sitting on a chair beside the bed with a dozen red roses & pages of love notes he wrote for me while I was sleeping. That was so sweet & surprising for me. My man loves to surprise me in every way in small and big ways. One funny moment I can recall was when he visited my family for the first time & he was trying so hard to speak Bisaya. The way he mixed the words was so funny I can't help giggling and everyone had a good laugh! He was sweating and very nervous but he is the best of all! :yes::whistle:

I would say.. My most unforgettable moment would be.. When I arrived in Manila and exited customs walked across the road to (walkway/road) which curves down to the lower level pushing all my bags on my cart.. getting to the bottom and looking for my Zandy.. Well I'm searching the crowd arcoss the road.. then I see her cousin Marvin which is quite a bit taller then Zandy.. I see him first and then he sees me and we wave.. then for a sec I see her... and she's got a hold of her 5 year old niece hand running across the road to me.. and finally.. we reach each other.. and out first long hug... Gosh.. I recall it like it was yesterday.
