6eptember ( US timing) we woke up bright and early and made our way to the airport. Today we are heading to Hilo ( The Big Island)
As we left Honolulu, we not only saw the beautiful clear waters BUT also the Diamond Head Monument which we climbed.
Once we reached Hilo, we went for breakfast at Ken’s – it’s a Hawaiian kind of Denny’s/ IHOP
I love the coffee which I later found out that it’s Kona coffee ( Kona is in Big Island) Nice! Bought 2 packets of coffee powder home. We had Macadamia nut pancakes and the poisonous Loco Moco .I love LOCO MOCO > super nice!! BUT super high in calories.. I only had 2 mouthfuls and I feel so guilty until NOW 🙁
AFter breakfast, we visited Akaka Falls
then drove to the Volcanoes National Park
Us in front of Pacific Ocean
Arc behind me made by the water/lava? I was holding onto my cap, fearing that it will fly away.. haha
You really see the smoke from the volcano
AND
haha.. so just as I was fooling ard and taking photos…BH and I stopped in front of Mauna Loa, world’s largest active volcano
BH set up the tripod so that we could take a picture together… then suddenly… he knelt down.. took out a box…. and……
AG: ” ehh.. u kuku ah!”
BH: ” Would you marry me again? I wish our love would be like this active volcano, always burning..”
AG: *staring at the ring and OMG in my heart* “YES YES!”
soooooooo cheesy…probably the most cheesy yet original proposal line I heard! BUT I was super happy!!! 😀 He was so sincere .. the very thought that he don’t need to do this again but he did brings a tear to my eyes! For once ( in many blue moons), I felt that I marry the right man and reconfirmed that BH is super duper nice to me!
To think that I was saying how I don’t want to rem how BH proposed to me? haha.. now I wanna rem how he re-propose to me 🙂 awww… it felt like my wildest dream just came true !!! can’t believe that BH can be this romantic!
The precious ( ring size was wrong but he didn’t have time to resize it.. how can I not forgive him.. wahaha)
Right after the romantic proposal, we needed to leave so that we could catch our flight back to Honolulu. By right, we should b able to see lava flowing from the volcano BUT it wasn’t dark enough, so we can’t see anything. Both of us were quite disapted.. So we told ourselves that we will go back again 🙂
On the plane back to Honolulu, we saw orange lava-like glow frm the skies.. haha.. not sure if it’s lava BUT we convinced ourselves that it’s lava. haha
What a lovely day! hehe.. active volcano!! keep burning!
