Countdown: 14 Days Till the Day of Love Arrives!

Tomorrow is already the first day of February, and what instantly comes to mind is the celebration of Valentine’s Day, or what others may call Heart’s Day. The month is very special to me not just because of Valentine’s Day but also because my fiancé and I will be celebrating our First Year Anniversary on the 25th, and it will also be our first Valentine's Day as a couple.

And with special occasions or celebrations such as this, gifts are always present. I’ve already checked for special gifts and actually browsed on Top Valentine's Gifts for 2010 to give me an idea on the best gift that I could give my fiancé. I've already seen one that suits my fancy, something I’m sure my fiancé would really love. I'll not divulge it here though because he might read this and it would not be a surprise. It is always exciting to me if the element of surprise is there, and not only do I love getting surprises, I love to give them, too.

How about you? Have you already shopped for that special Valentine gift for your loved one? It's always best to shop early so you will have time to prepare without feeling rushed and find that perfect Valentine gift that he or she deserves.

And now I do wonder what my fiancé has in store for me? He loves surprises, too, except he calls them "gotchas". He's already "got me" several times with sweet surprises and I'm certain our first Valentine's Day will be a special one...(",)

My First Ever...

... BF was no less than my late hubby and I met him at work when I was 22. Am I a late bloomer? Maybe yes. I had suitors but none of them gave me that sparkle my late hubby gave me. Hee hee. I never had flings too like most women my age had. I was a good girl and will always be. (",)

I can still remember those days - I was afraid to entertain my suitors when I was still in high school and college to the point that they considered me so aloof and snob. Some would even say I would end up a spinster because I'm so picky. I was just being careful then and basically, I am not the type who would accept someone just so I'll have somebody to call a boyfriend.

So, there you go. This "Firsts" topic by Girls Talk is really fun. I wonder what will be the topic next month. Looking forward to that one.

Music Monday: Because of You by Keith Martin

Gifts That Speak

Gifts should always be special. That is why I always make it a point to think of something that has a personal touch, my own idea of what I feel will please the receiver. For years, I've always chose personalized items to give to my friends and family. Last Christmas, I gave dad and mom personalized pens and some personalized towels to my siblings. And I do the same thing with my fiancé. For the special days that we celebrate, I’ve been giving him personalized items. I got him a personalized shirt with our names on it when he visited me last year. I had also given him a personalized towel with his name, a keychain with our pictures last Christmas and a necklace with our initials engraved on the pendant.

More personalized items are coming soon to his mailbox since he will be celebrating his birthday next month, as well as our first anniversary, and I will be sending him more. OOOPS! I hope he won’t read this because the element of surprise will be gone. Well, I may be giving him an idea, but I won’t divulge what kind of personalized items I'm sending so he'll still be surprised. I can’t wait to get it all ordered and prepared and sent.

Nobody But Him

Anything goes when us girls talk and sometimes they come in details which makes it the more exciting. LOL.

I visited my blogger pal Nancy's site one day and read her "Girls Talk" entry. I wasn't aware about it until that day and it was really interesting reading her story and the other entries as well, more so when I learned that their topic for this month is about "Firsts." Talking about firsts can be fun since you get to reminisce the good old days. Hee hee. Also, this is my first ever entry so isn't that a perfect timing?! (",)

So anyway, this week's topic is about "First Kiss." Some would probably find it awkward to talk about but not me really. You know why? Well it's because my late hubby was my first boyfriend so obviously, he's my first kiss too. I don't think a kiss on the cheeks can be counted anyway. And since he's my first, just try to imagine how it went. Do I need to go into details? LOL. It was kind of awkward for the both of us. Maybe that's how your first kiss went to too, huh? But it was special. I don't think I would be talking about it if it wasn't. *wink*

How about you? Care to share your first kiss?

Music Monday: No Ordinary Love by Jennifer Love Hewitt

It's been a while since I heard this song so when I heard it again on Saturday on television, it reminded me of that year when it became a hit and it was our favorite song (my office mates and I) to request on the FM station that was just located at the third floor (we were on the 2nd). We were silly then and it can be fun to be silly at times. LOL. Happy Music Monday!

P.S. This song's for you, BA! Mwah!

Dream On...

Whenever they ask me what's in the top of my wish list, my answer has always been... a lappy! I don't have my own PC that's why I so badly wanted one. I saved for it before but had to give it up for a much important thing - something that should be prioritized. We do have two desktop computers here at home but they're used for the business so I only get the chance to use it whenever it's not in use.

But my dream of having a laptop hasn't stop and I have this feeling that my dream will be granted soon. LOL. You think so too, BA? *wink*

Music Monday: You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift

I've been hearing this song on television shows but I wasn't aware who the artist was until I asked my niece. I was surprised to know that it's Taylor Swift. I like this girl a lot. She's not only pretty but really good at what she's doing too. So, here you go, my Music Monday entry. Happy MM everyone!

And to my BA... you belong with me... (",)

Let the Good Times Roll With Ezy Roller!

I was at the mall with a friend yesterday when it dawned upon me that in only two more months it will be my son’s birthday once again. He’s turning seven and just thinking about it makes me realize how time flies so fast, and before I know it, he'll be a full-grown young man.

I browsed the toy section at the mall yesterday for a gift that would fit his little-boy persona. I know he likes toy cars and robots but he already has lots of those kinds of toys. I want to give him something different this time since he’s no longer a toddler but a little young man. My friend suggested an electronic gadget but with its cost, I felt that it was way too expensive for even a little young man because boys will be boys, and toys and gadgets have a way of getting busted. Knowing that he can be careless when it comes to his toys, I don’t think it would be practical to give him such a gadget this early. The time will come, though, when he realizes the worth of things and how hard I work to provide for him.

We kept on looking at the toy section until I remembered what my godson got from his mom last Christmas. He got an Ezy Roller and I believe my son would really love it. He’s very hyperactive and loves to ride on all the different rides at the mall. It would be the perfect gift for him! And maybe I can add something a bit more personal such as personalized pillowcases with his name on them, or perhaps his photo, with a nap mat to match. And I know now is the time to get him something like that before he does get bigger and think such things too silly and sissy for a boy. Maybe with a new nap mat, he will choose to have his afternoon nap instead of concentrating on playing his computer games. Yeah; maybe. Oh well; dream on, Mom. As I said, boys will be boys.

But just thinking about these gift ideas for my son’s upcoming birthday is making me giddy with excitement. I can’t wait until it happens and see the look on his face and in his eyes when I hand them to him personally.
