My fiance's hometown, Mainit Surigao

Gee.

I have been so busy lately.

work. wedding prep. work. december parties. work. trips.

Yeah, I had one special trip to my fiance's home town. Mainit, Surigao del Norte.

I pulled it up to the Surfing Capital last November 29 to to attend the wedding of my fiance's sis and at the same time meet his relatives for the first time.

It was a beautiful trip and everyone was extremely so nice to me. I thought of feeling nervous on what to expect from his whole clan but everyone was just so warm and pleasant.

I could say that I am lucky to have a wonderful in-laws in the future (with their wonderful clan).perfect. They were super accommodating to me and they made me feel like I am really their real daughter. Sweet.

I stayed overnight at my fiance's domicile in Mainit, Surigao and I was totally drawn o the place. It's amazingly clean, well.. compared to my municipality in Bohol and its very country feeling. It's aesthetically pleasant.

For a while, i love the countryside living in Mainit.

Mainit, Surigao is actually situated by Lake Mainit in the northeastern part of Mindanao. I wasn't able to get near to the Lake coz it was already dark when we made rounds along the area but i made a glimpse on it on our way back to Surigao City the next day. 'twas perfectly so serene and quite.
I love the serenity and the beauty of the surroundings.
I love the lonely dark road at night, it was even raining when we traversed! its like being in a twilight zone.
I love their tricycle, look! and if you want to make "pakyaw" on it, they call it "taxicyle" funny.

Oh, their Church was different. I mean, totally different from our towering and spacious churches here like Redemtorist Church or Sto Nino Church. Theirs is simple yet so intimate. I love where it was situated because it was like 15-20 steps away from my fiance's cave. :-)

Air, yes their air is cleaner than in the city and its fresher. I enjoyed it in the afternoon.

Mainit, Surigao has a simple life. For some, it is equated to boredom but for me it is a special place where everything that surrounded me (there) was wonderful.

Fact. There's no doubt i love big cities, but spending time in Mainit , Surigao del Norte totally changed my being a city girl.
-green couple-- see you again, Mainit. :-)
