Celebrating Chinese New Year & Pre-Valentines Day

I had a chance to go out the whole day and night last Saturday, February 13, 2010. My husband was not there that day because he attended his friend's birthday party @ Pattaya so I decided to consume my day by hanging out with my friends. In the morning and lunch time, I was with my college friend, Eds. We went out to see a movie and lunch together @ The Emporium Mall, the place we usually visit each time we have a meeting. She gave me a rose because the following day will be Valentines day. She's so thoughtful.

After my meeting with her, I had another meeting with my siam pinoy friends, Harley and Angie @ Siam Paragon Mall, Bangkok. From Emporium Mall I took the BTS station (from Phrompong to Siam). It was too confusing for me as it was my very first time to go there alone. Plus, there are three building with the name Siam and they are all different. I thought Siam Center is the same as Siam Paragon or there may be a connecting way how to get there. Apparently, I need to cross the way via footbridge because I was obviously lost hahaha and they are waiting on me because I was super late. I felt guilty, though.







We watched the dragon dance ceremony outside which was in front of the mall, after we dine in for afternoon snack @ KFC.

We had a good dinner at Sta. Fe Steak Restaurant in MBK along Siam Square. It was my first fun, fun, fun night out! I wish I could be able to spend another meet up next time with MC and other SP members so it would be great! ;)

Happy Valentine's Day 2010

I've received pretty red roses from my husband and my close friend Eds today. We've had a dinner and movie date at Fashion Island Mall tonight. I didn't feel that we're celebrating a Valentine's date tonight because almost every week or anytime we are free we could just go out to see a movie and dine out. I guess, everyday is a Valentine's day for us. Everyday is filled with love, caring, thoughtfulness, sweetness and everything.

For once in my life, I've experienced this kind of relationship I always longing for. To love someone and be able to be loved in return. I am always thankful for this wonderful blessing. God is really good! Thank God.

My New Year 2010

How did we celebrate the New Year here in Bangkok? Simple. We didn’t need to cook as we are only two people in the house, like we did last Christmas no extravagant celebration. During the countdown, we were asleep and snoring hehehe and that was how we welcome the New Year!

Last Christmas, we went dine out and watched the movie “Sherlock Holmes”. But we decided not to go out and stayed home all day on January 1st. He woke up at 7:30 am and was busy watching the football early in the morning. I was sleeping soundly and woke up at 10:00 am already. I was really tired because I had my Cambodia trip a day before January 1st. So the following day, I felt like tired and sleepy.

Last year, I reminisced the New Year’s count down when I was at work (as a call center representative) in Makati. That was when I was looking at the fire works display then, my mobile rang... I received a call from my sweetheart. He remembered and greeted me that time and that was soooo wonderful. I felt like flying because he gave a call just to greet me. I felt so important and that day I was wearing a big happy smile on my face. I won’t forget that day. It was the day that he won my heart. I have never expected anyone will call me because I was at work and everybody in my family and friends knew that. Probably, I’ve never expected anyone because that would be a busy time to do the fire works or the Filipino tradition when the clock strikes 12:00 am in celebration of New Year.

On December 31st before we slept, I reminded him about last year’s countdown. He looked and smiled back at me… and he said “Yes, I remember and you gave me more happiness in return...” That was the loveliest words (music to my ears)I have ever heard from him, better than hearing him say “Ï love you”. It was a new year’s gift for me from him because I am so much glad that he appreciates what I have done or will do for him.

I feel so emotionally secure and peaceful because we are together. I feel the love that I need because he is so loving, caring and romantic. I know he will become a good father to our baby Sofia. This New Year is really joyful for us to be complete as family. I have no New Year’s resolution, though. I just would like to do whatever is necessary and pleasing for my family to be happy and so am I.

Happy New Year to all! Let’s start the year right and be merry! Cheers!
