keeping it sweet and simple on valentine's day


as early as 5pm, downtown NY was bustling with people rushing out of their office buildings and presumably excited to head to their dinner reservations :) i looked like i was playing dodgeball as i walked back to my building after running a quick errand. H and I didn't bother to book any reservations cause (1) prices are jacked up during holidays like this because of their dinner specials, dinner packages, promos or whatever clever wordplay (2) he didn't want me to stress about where to eat cause he said he wanted to surprise me :) so his sole instruction was to head home right after work.

this is not the first time he cooked for me but it never fails to melt my heart every time :) the table setup was simple basically because we have no special china or dinnerware yet :p just ikea chic hehe :p


i'm a super fan of his mom's chile relleno and he knows that so it was really sweet of him to make my favorite dish for this day :)


since i really like chile rellenos and this was his first time to make one, i was afraid i might have to pretend i like 'em so i won't break his heart :p but heck, they were really good! he thought i was just being appreciative of his sweet gesture but they were really good and i know cause i always order chile relleno whenever i miss his mom's cooking :D

H and I love to dine out once in a while but I prefer a home-prepared meal than a fancy dinner especially during special occasions :)

MAC Wonder Woman makes for an awesome valentine's day gift :D

Two of my favorite things collaborated and I just can't afford to miss it = wonderwoman and MAC :) I'm not into make-up but I'm a woman and I also believe in making yourself presentable.

So there I was by the booth checking out the shades of their lipglasses and lipsticks..




And H usually helps me pick out stuff but I should've taken it as a sign when all of a sudden he was suggesting that I get all that I wanted cause he noticed how I kept trying to limit my choices at a minimum. So I thought it was a bit odd but I went with it anyway and then when we got to the counter - he surprised me by paying for them! He knows I don't like flowers and he knows how picky I can get sometimes so he thought this was the best way to get me something :) It was really sweet :D It is nice to have someone who gets you and your quirks :)

So this is the cute little bag that I brought back home :D




MAC Wonder Woman and my Wonder Womanshirts :)




looks like Wonder Woman would fight for the "Obey Me" nail lacquer :p




with the size of these lipglasses, I think am set for at least 3years :p they're almost the same length as my GalaxyS android phone!


lipglass wonder woman, athena's kiss and emancipation


Valentine's day is still just one sleep away but I'm already kilig :D Happy Hearts' Day!
