V-Day Highlight

Yes, I'm not big on Valentine's Day. The thought of it approaching doesn't excite me. Last night, walking through the mall before going home (had dinner with Mama), I spotted the lone flower shop in Eastwood Mall and how unbelievably busy it was. People lined up to have last-minute bouquets arranged. The place looked like Divisoria, no joke. I hold on to my opinion that this day is terribly, terribly overrated, just like Wee Nam Kee and J.Co Donuts. 

But because my 6-year old has no idea that Mommy is not a huge Valentine fan, every year she gives me/us something, and regardless of how I feel about this occasion, she never fails to melt my heart.

Mama (Momsie to my kids), gave them art supplies for Valentine's Day and this is what Sabine decided to do with hers. Awwwwwww! It now proudly stands on top of my shoe cabinet inside our room -- haha, until I find a more appropriate place for it! 

And because we had a mass in the morning before moving Daddy's ashes into the crypt, she decided that she wanted to wear this outfit. "Mommy, it's Valentine's Day that's why!"

Whether you celebrated it outdoors, at home or in places I can't mention (hee hee!!!), I hope you all got a kick out of yesterday and maybe even a kilig moment or two! 

My V-day surprise

I swear I was just about to blog about Valentine's Day being overrated. Some of you have to admit, it really is. But girls will always be girls and at the end of the day, all we want is to be made to feel special and important.

I got one of the biggest shocks of my life when I went downstairs at past midnight to check the locks on our front door and saw this

The sight of it was enough to make me cry
In our almost 8 yrs as a couple, I can count the times DH has given me flowers
The last time was around 2 years ago because I was fuming mad at him about something
Hahahaha!
But he knows I'm not the type to demand or even expect anything grand even on special occasions like my birthday or Christmas. I'm really easy to please and even the tiniest gesture (gift or no gift) can make me the happiest person on earth.

No wonder when he went downstairs earlier and I asked if he needed some company while he smoked outside, his reply was so abrupt --- no, it's okay. It didn't get me thinking at all that he might be up to something because this was the very last thing I expected him to do.

Thank you...Hon, Anissa and Sabine --- for making me believe in Valentine's Day again


Happy Valentine's Day to all!
