HAPPY VALENTINES

I should have posted it yesterday. But a late post still suffice. I deem, there's enough residual of Valentines vibe in the air still. 

Aaagh.. [How should I start?]

Before he came along, I dont fuss much about Valentines at all. For the longest time, I contented myself watching Hugh Grant movie marathon as my version of celebrating this occasion. Dont get me wrong. I was not bitter being single every Valentines Day before, actually it NEVER sucked. 

Another aaaagh.... [Cringe starts creeping in]

I just really want to share this another first in my life - celebrating VALENTINES; how me and my special someone named [Put your name here] celebrate this special occasion.  

THE PLACE: We chose to celebrate this day at, nothing else but, our special place called SM (HAHA!!). Yes! it is special, well.. at least for both us (or is it just me?). It is the place where we first ----, first ----, first ----, and so many other firsts we shared. I swear! we never go any place else. That's me being a very low maintenance GF.

THE GIFT: I was expecting that he would give a nice bouquet of flowers, or chocolates, or stuff toys, or something like what he usually gives me on our monthsarrys. And, I ate my heart out, when he handed me a National Bookstore paper bag and inside that is a MUG. Maybe, he felt sad when he sensed that I didnt like the gift that much. And, it was very childish of me to make it very obvious to him. It is not that I don't like the gift. I only hoped for something else. Surprisingly, as I arrived home and took a good look at the stuff, I came to understand how special the gift is, specially the box where it is contained. There are quotes and phrases scribbled in it that reminded me of how we first get to know each other. Some of the phrases goes like this:

"If I were to fall in love, it would have to be with YOUR EYES, YOUR SMILE. The way you laugh. The things you say and do take me to the places my heart never knew. So, if I were to fall in love, it would have to be with you." 

PLAY TIME: After a not-that-sumptuous yet heavy meal; lots of 'kuliglig' moments; and his tirades of 'pang-aasar', we went to Tom's. We got to enjoy being child again with the games the amusement center offers.

MOVIE TIME: Our date would never be complete without watching a movie or two. Yes! we have tried to watch two different movies in a day (ganun lang kami kaadik!). Anyways, I never thought I would appreciate an action film as a movie date for this special occasion. Though SAFEHOUSE is not my kind of flicks, I still got to enjoy it. With him beside me explaining the plot and all, I got to the flow of the story.

All in all, we had a blast spending Valentine’s day in each other’s company despite how simply we chose to celebrate it. Hope all you cheesy couples had a great time too!

 Woooh... [lovebug]

Notice the downpour of the word 'special' in this narration? That's how I regard this unforgettable FIRST in my life. <3 <3 <3
