At last! we're home! we're then in Toledo, Nabas, Aklan. The place where I was born and where Mark's Father's side clan lives and this is where my clan lives too.
As a tradition, we went house by house to get their blessings by doing "Mano Po" a wonderful filipino tradition.
Mark and I traveled a lot. We rested on that day and went to my mother's side family in Ibajay, Aklan to get their blessing and invite them. Then went to Rev. Filamer (our officiating minister) to clarify things about the ceremony. We discussed a lot of problems that might come our way including the hassle of getting married in Boracay without getting married in the church. We decided to get married first in the morning of Saturday in Ibajay full Gospel church and have the ceremony in Boracay. That's it!
We went to boracay afternoon that day and talked to the personnel of Tropical Guest house where our wedding ceremony and reception will be held. We got some problems but we were able to fix it right away.
This is one of the unforgettable experience I had in Boracay, We slept in the under renovation apartment of Uncle Ronnie in Boracay. No electric fan, no bed, full of mosquitos and dusts from the cement and woods. We slept beside the construction workers, and Mark's cousins. I did'nt have enough sleep. if Mark didn't get a cardboard and fan me i will really not get any sleep.
The next day (3 days to go), we went to Kalibo... travel here and there... wheeew!

7 days to go : iloilo trip
Manay babylyn (Mark's eldest cousin in his mother's side) fetched us in SM iloilo...
She's pretty, and I'm older than her by 1 year i think... lol !
We stayed in her house in Alta tierra (I think that's the name of the subdivision). There was wifi there but all we did was to eat, talk and sleep. Waiting in Manila airport for 7 hours made me really tired.
The next morning we left Manay's house early and headed to Concepcion, Iloilo ( cool, the place is my surname) to visit the whole sobrevega and puerto family. Shocks! we spent 4 hours travel in the bus! The bus was so slow and stopped by every corner of the road.
It was relieving when we reached the house to see a very welcoming family where mark grew up. I didn't feel any awkward situation. It's like I've known them for so long. All I and Mark did there was to eat, sleep and sing videoke.
The next morning, ( 5 days to go before our wedding),we traveled again. This time, 3 hours travel going to iloilo proper and 6 hours going to Nabas, Aklan. And you won't believe it I never slept even a single second. Wanna know why? because Mark Was sleeping on my shoulder!!!!! He's not well trained in a long bus travel. I was afraid he might vomit so I endure the trip without closing my eyes. Uhm.. I can't sleep in the travel without leaning my whole body on a person beside me. I just enjoyed the surrounding with the fresh nature while listening to the music on my fully charged phone.
All in all, I love our iloilo trip meeting Mark's wonderful family
