Heart's Day 2014

Heart's Day 2014 
Hubby and I were never the mushy type of couple. Although we make time for several date nights in a month, I only have one documented formal date we had. Click here for that short story. So last night, just as how every single human being in the universe proclaimed,  I shared the same sentiment that this too shall pass (pertaining to Feb14).. Just like a normal, ordinary day.

It was a terrible night actually, I left the office around 630pm and found myself standing for an hour to get a ride home. A few couples passed in front of me holding hands while the ladies seemed uncomfortable with their bouquet of roses. To each his own, but my gosh, I really can't carry that in public. On a positive note, may mas sweet pa ba sa Pinoy lover boys? Ha ha!

When the hubby arrived home, he surprised me with 6 red roses plus a bar of Toblerone. I thought, ano kayang nakain nito? Chocolates have always been my request and I well knew we both have the same "allergy" carrying flowers, so it definitely took him that huge amount of effort. And I'm more thankful because he brought it home for me.

For that, I think it deserves a space here in my blog. :-)

The price for 6 long stems is too steep! Like twice the price of a dozen roses on regular days.

Heart's Day 2014

This morning, I thought of creating a table centerpiece so I placed them all in a vase with some warm water. They all bloomed and looked so beautiful! Mas na-appreciate ko sya. THANK YOU again, my dear husband, for the effort and for making me feel well loved. Happy heart's day to all of us! :-)

Love Love Love 2012 ♥

I love flowers, Mom taught me how to love them since I was a kid, but I'm never really a fan of receiving flowers on Valentine's day. The thought of getting one from an admirer may somehow makes us "kilig" but don't you feel the burden when you carry that big bouquet, commute on your way home and then people stare at you. Ha ha!

Hey, I've nothing against those who prefer having them and hail to the person who made extreme efforts just to send a surprising one! It's just not my thing, really. I'd prefer chocolates and hug-gable teddies. I got a huge box of Toblerone from hubby which we both indulged at home. Perhaps, it's the thought that counts.

This year is our first Valentine's as a couple. Nothing grand celebration, which is totally my persona. I've thought of booking a hotel in Tagaytay but I didn't pursue due to work commitments and besides, I can't leave my daughter yet for an overnight stay without her, so we opted to dine out instead a day after. We met after work and did the usual routine at the mall - scout that promising running shoes.

Was hoping to find a chair at Bon Chon but I guess those people seated are the luckiest. Why is Bon Chon always full? So second stop was at Kangaroo Jack. Delish menu and I liked seeing that cob of corn.

Wall decors.. Care to wear that mask?

For starters, we ordered Fish and Chips. I am Mrs. No Pork at the moment.

I ordered Seafood Alfredo. I love that they put a lot of Parmesan cheese on it and it wasn't just those tiny little shrimps.

He ordered Baby Back Ribs in spicy sauce and he liked it! He didn't eat that corn though.

Baby back ribs in spicy sauce for Daddy..  #foodspotting

The place is neat and the waiting time didn't take long. I appreciate restaurants who serve drinks promptly. It's funny that when I looked around, everyone inside were couples, they might be celebrating too? *wink* Happy tummies later on.

Earlier at Kangaroo Jack..

Our post heart's day date! ❤

BTW, I got this cute little red teddy with some chocolates at work. It's nice to receive such gesture from our employer, isn't it? ♥

I won this cute teddy for Valentine's treat at work! ❤
