Valentine’s Day has always been just an ordinary day for me. Over the years, my point of view about it hasn’t changed — it is just an ordinary day. Period. No erase. LOL.

Not that I am not romantic or anything. But I just don’t see the reason why others have to be sad when they don’t have a boyfriend or a special someone to spend it with. I mean, what’s the big fuss about not having a date? Valentine’s Day is not just merely for lovers. Let us not forget that we can also celebrate the occasion — if you’re the type who does — with our respective families.

So you might wanna know if I received any flowers from my husband?

The answer is a resounding NO. Because I was the one who told him to stop giving me flowers for practical reasons. Not that I don’t like flowers. As a matter of fact, I am quite amazed with how lovely they are. But the truth is, they don’t last very long. They wither. They die. And when they do, your hard-earned money dies with them too. Chocolates and cards are much better.

Anyway, Leo and I met up at SM Megamall after our shift to watch My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend. He wanted to see Jumper coz he does not like tagalog movies. Errr — I don’t understand men. They always claim they don’t like tagalog movies! But deep inside they do. They just don’t wanna admit it. Hahaha! Weird.

Going back to the movie, I did like the story. It’s really funny (especially Marian Rivera and the way she acts). There are scenes that made me cry too. Nakakakilig. Sobraaa! Oh well, just watch it and it’ll be worth your time and money. The last tagalog movie that I saw was that of Richard’s too (Let the love begin ata yun — with Angel Locsin). And in fairness, magaganda movies nya ha!

REWIND: Before meeting my husband at SM Megamall, I went to Mandaluyong, where my parents live, for a quick visit (Ooopps! Talk about about someone who doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s! LOL). On my way there, I saw a Mr. Donuts booth and saw this cute promo that they have for Valentine’s. It’s a small box of freshly baked donuts wrapped in a plastic with ribbons, teddy bear and a heart-shaped balloon inside. I bought one for my mom. Sayang di ko na-picturan. Na-bad trip kasi ako dahil nilipad ng hangin yung balloon while I was riding the tricycle. Grrr…Ang cute pa naman. Sayang.

 My husband and I bought this AB King Pro at Market! Market! two days ago. We’re glad we saved 500 pesos coz it’s more expensive at Parksquare. As soon as we saw its price, we purchased it right away while little Greggy (with his nanny) was patiently waiting for us on the cute spidey cart that we rented. Then we headed to KFC to grab something to eat.

On our way there, I took some pictures of my super kulit na baby… I told him: “Show me your perfect teeth, baby Greggy!” Then he smiled like this… Ang arte di ba?

After eating, we took him to the playground. He wanted to try all the slides! (even the tallest ones!Hahaha!) He’s so happy. Here’s one of the videos that I took using my cellphone. Tuwang-tuwa ako sa video na ito kasi ang taas ng slide pero keri nya. LOL. He was with his yaya but she released him from the very top so he just slid all the way down alone.

O di ba, ang kulit? LOL. Medyo na-shock sya! More videos here.

I wanna thank Ariane for giving me this wonderful 5-star blog award. Thanks, sis. I really appreciate it.

Now I am passing this to SexyNomad, Ely, Luana, Aisha and Joanna. Anyway, I am really busy now with a lot of things. First, I am really busy looking for the cheapest airfare from Manila – Boracay (Caticlan or Kalibo). So far the cheapest one I found is with Cebu Pacific (288 GO Fare + tax = 10, 185 for 3 pax). I called them to make a reservation for April 15-18 yesterday. I was about to pay for it already but the agent I spoke with said they might have a cheaper promo (1 or 8 peso fare) come March. So since we’re going there in April I’ve decided to wait a li’l longer. Haha!

Second, I am also busy looking for a nice hotel. And since the month of April is under peak season, hotels are 40-60% more expensive. (What a rip off!)

Third, I am so busy doing sponsored posts on my other blogs to — you know — earn some $$$. LOL. I promised to myself that every penny that we’ll be spending for our Bora trip will come from my earnings through blogging. And I am happy that I’ve already earned enough money to pay for our airfare and hotel accomodation (4 days, 3 nights). Yipee! Pang-shopping na lang sa D’ Mall at pang-island hopping ang kulang. Hehe.

I used to be very stingy when it comes to spending money on trips. But now? What the heck! I want to explore the whole world every chance I get as long as I have the money (CORRECTION: blog money) to spend! Hahaha. Life is too short.

P.S: But the truth is, parang magkakasakit ata ako sa laki ng gagastusin namin! LOL.
