Love Love Love! Heart Heart Heart!

The love month ain't over yet! We had a small post v-day party at home. Thanks to the four-hour brownout which started at 6pm, the candlelight dinner buffet appeared to be extra romantic. Haha! And thanks to the camera flash, the photos turned out to be well-lighted.

I made this crepe paper curtain with heart cut outs. My sister pumped up the balloons. My brother played his instrumental love songs. And good we had a red sofa for that perfect feel of love in the air :)

It felt like a prom night only that we were not in long gowns or suits and our living room was so small to be a dance floor. So we just settled on good laughs over baked mac and tinolang manok. And instead of having prom king and queen, it was a unanimous vote for the star of the night, our little darling Caela who maybe got an extra hour of sleep that afternoon because she was at her boiling point. She enthusiastically entertained her house guests.

Then we played my super favorite game of all time - Pinoy Henyo! It doesn't require anything but a brain, man! Not the physical skills which I am so lame at. Thank goodness I have a brain! I was feeling confident at the start of the game. "I will crash every inch of intelligence left in you," was everyone's silent battle cry.  But it seemed my brain cells went to bed earlier than usual that night. Haha!

Little Caela was clapping and teasing the whole time as if she understood what was going on. She sometimes surprises me with her adultlike ways. Don't grow up too fast baby girl :)

Have a love-filled day ahead, fabulous you! :)

Valentine's Day Wishlist

This is such a joyous month of the year - next to December and April, which is my birth month :) It's the LOVE month! And I'm loving everyday of it :) Just feeling so good about how much love is coming in my life and how this teaches me to give back even more.

Now let's go to the big day that everyone's excited about. How am I celebrating it? Hmmmm....

I remember that when I was in grade school, we were asked to make cards with hand-painted hearts to give to our parents. In high school, we just make a handful on our own even it wasn't required so we can distribute to friends. In college, I was still giving to friends. And as time passed, we make special surprises, not just cards, for the ones we love.

And on the other hand, I'm also always excited to receive something special because I'm soooo an occasion person. Though I believe that everyday is an opportunity to show and express love, there still should be special days for celebrations. I call these celebrations MILESTONES :) Because I can't remember everyday! I can only remember the remarkable ones. May this milestone be remarkable. :)

This again is another daydreaming. But oh! There's still a difference. Today is not yet a Saturday. It's still a Friday but let me have my daydreams listed already so I could sleep soundly later. :) I just can't get these out of my head. I had to release them or I'd burst. (Images from the web.)

1) I want a super overly sweet, love-filled, genuinely written love letter. I melt with words. :)



2) A long-stemmed red rose. Take note, it's just "A" rose. I can be happy with one. :) If there'll be three or a dozen, I'll be the happiest!!!



3) A chocolate cupcake with a heart :) I love sweets and I love hearts. :)



See? I only desire simple things. These are already milestones for me. What's important is the time and the presence. :)

But wait, there's more! I also have wildest dreams.

What about mountain climbing and singing love songs until we reach the top?




Or sky diving while holding hands?



Or cruising in the Pacific ocean with just a kayak?



Or lying on the sand and counting the stars? And not stopping until we've counted them all :P



Extremely wild! But in whatever way we celebrate it or with whomever, have a heart filled with love everyone! :) Cheers to the happiest love month ever! :)

Now I can sleep... May my dreams come true. And yours, too :)
