Philip:"Inside the bus we sat opposite the group of Brent Boracy teachers. I will be honest: it was my brother Mark who initiated contact and he asked if Nona and her collegues were students of Brent Boracay. Nona was spontaneous enough to explain that they were actually teachers. From there a vivid talk between Mark, his wife Sophie and Nona started while I quietly stared and tried to mumble something in between... Mark then asked me in Dutch if I liked Nona. I told him that I thought she was amazing. Mark does not need a lot of encouragement so he immediately suggested to Nona that she should go out with his little, quiet, shy brother Philip... this of course made me feel very much at ease... not! At the end of the busride we reached Diniwid were Nona lived and by that time I knew that I either had to do something or accept the fact that i was never going to see Nona again. So I gathered all my courage and asked her for her number. I tried to be funny and spontaneously about it and even jokingly asked her not to fake-number me. Nona luckily gave me her real number and I promissed to call her very soon. Brother Mark suggested we immediately take some nice group pictures... funnily enough we now have pictures of the first time we met.. both clueless that one day we would be getting married! "
