Swept Away…

Pinay bride swept by giant waves during marriage proposal…

NESKOWIN, Oregon – A romantic marriage proposal on the West Coast turned deadly for a Filipina bride-to-be when a wave swept her out to sea.

Scott Napper had taken 22-year-old Leafil Alforque to Proposal Rock near Neskowin Beach to pop the question at a place that got its name from couples ready to marry.

Napper and Alforque had been dating since they met on the Internet in 2005.

But Alforque had arrived in Oregon on a visa from the Philippines just three days before the fateful trip to the coast, The Oregonian reported.

Napper said the tide had receded around Proposal Rock on Saturday when the couple began to walk to it. He planned to propose and give her the ring he carried in his pocket.

About 10 feet (3 meters) from the rock, a wave about 3 feet (.9 meters) high suddenly came toward them.

“I turned into it to keep from getting pulled under it,” Napper said.

By the time he turned to find Alforque, only 4-foot-11 (1.2-meter) and 93 pounds (42 kilograms), she had been caught by the receding waters.

Kaganiha nakita nako sa CNN headlines mahitungod sa first US face transplant. Wala man gipakita ang pasyente bali ang doktor ra ang naa sa atubangan sa media.

Gi share ko lang ni sa wala pa kakita ani nga video.

Siguro kadungog na sab mo sa The world’s first face transplant nga nahitabo sa France adtong 2005, famous man kaayo ni nga news sauna cguro kita namo ani pero share ko lang sa wala pa kakita. Looy kaayo ni siya nga babaye kay gikaon iyang dagway sa iyang iro nga labrador. E post unta nako iyang nawong dire katong paghuman atak sa iyang iro pero di kaya sa akong tinai ang hitsura. Kini nalang video ang tan-awa during sa surgery.

Ug kini pod sa China face transplant, nadaot iyang nawong kay gi atak sa bear. tsk tsk…
