Rose in a box
For Valentine's day, I didn't participate much with the usual mass sending of txt messages greeting friends of Happy VDay! I didn't even prepare something for Hamkin. That's why I was so touched when Hamkin even gave me another surprise today!
After bathing, I was informed that I received a package. I was surprised for I know that Hamkin wouldn't give me another present for this day. When I opened it, it was a disheveled box with a single long stemmed rose in it. Honestly, I was nonchalant, for I thought it was from my anonymous sender of bouquet again. Good thing my tita said there's still a card inside the packaging. Imagine my face lighting up as I opened it and saw that it's from Ham. I was so touched that I called him right away, only to be greeted by his recorded "leave me a message" voice mail. But then he called back and I even cried because he's sooo sweet and thoughtful for ever thinking of that. I feel so blessed for having him as a boyfriend. He's not the usual bf who would please you just to get something from you. He knows what's important, he knows what to prioritize, he gives me direction, and he's my inspiration. I know that I've grown as a person and one of the reasons is him.
We had online date when he got home. We shared a dessert together. He bought krispy kreme honey glazed donut and I bought dunkin donuts' promo donut and choco butternut. It was nice. A really nice date to spend Vday together. We may be miles away from each other but I know that our hearts are beating for each other. I love you Ham!

Pearl Hotel Manila
The Pearl Hotel Manila, just along Taft avenue and in United Nations.
This is the receiving area. I like the sofa. Long and firm. However, the cable from the lamp shouldn't be placed like that. They should have put the socket behind the stand and hide the excess cable.
Angle from the bathroom and closet side.
The bed is big and comfy. The pillows are soft and really nice to cuddle with. They have Sky cable on the TV, so it's really good.
The bathroom was small though. But if you're not that picky with it, and would just stay in the bathroom only for necessities, then I guess you wouldnt have a problem.
After Ham introduced me that popcorn, I fell in love with it instantly. It's low fat, low calories, and rich in fiber. Plus the Novellino's strawberry red wine is a good brand as well.
Aah.. this gummy bear is really good. I especially like it, coming from the fridge. When it's really hard and that you have to really chew hard on it. yummy! I don't get much of it these days. I only get it whenever my tita from Germany will be coming home. Only selected supermarkets have that in stock.
That was the smoke coming from the burning rubber tire store in blumentritt, as we later on learned from the news.
Tattoed on my mind, and Crazy for you. Hahaha! Good thing our only audience were mommy, papa alee, and the waiters.
Nice day for a swim. However, I couldnt swim that day, nor mom would want to without me.
Pearl for Valentine's day
Valentine's Day is nearing once again. Im sure every restaurant will be jam packed again. Business will be blooming as the hopeless romantics would purchase a lot of gifts for their beaus. I can't blame them, it's really something to celebrate... well, for me it is.
Back in 2002, I had my first dinner date and a stuff toy with a rose for Valentine's day.
Back in 2003, I serenaded him during his class, with matching poem and rose for it (though i was not the one who went personally)
Also in 2003, just after our valentine's date, my first love, my first special friend, "broke up" with me.
Back in 2004, I dated others. But no one ever fills the emptiness in my heart.
Back in 2005, we were reunited, though LDR once again, we dated online... complete with main course and dessert as our VDay date
Back in 2006 and 2007, he was able to still stay, days before Vday, before he went back to Sydney.
This year, he made me and mom happy when he booked us in Pearl Hotel Manila for an overnight stay.
We stayed in a junior suite at 15th floor and didn't do anything the rest of the afternoon. I wasn't able to swim though... huhu.... wrong timing for a 1st day. And so just watched the hearing of Lozada with the senate, and saw from our room, smoke coming from afar... which eventually turned out a fire from a rubber tire store in blumentritt.
Nothing to do. But watch, lie on bed, chat with mom, and eat my rare treat for myself: Haribo, Chef Tony's White Chocolate Walnut popcorn, and strawberrry red wine of Novellino.
If im with Ham in that place, i bet I can do lots of things... naughty naughty me..
I did enjoy the dinner with mom. We invited papa alee (my lolo's brother) to the hotel, and dined with him at the Oyster restaurant, the hotel restaurant. I ordered Katsudon, and them Tempura bento. It was good, and I really felt satiated after that. We talked mostly bout financial things (if only i have money for some investments), and then drank some beer to the hotel bar. There were performers in it, Menchi and Babes. And since we were the only audience, I had the courage to sing with them when they invited me on stage. I partly sang Tattoed on my mind (which was kinda high and not really suited for my voice), and Crazy for you (which they even lowered to one key)hehe.
In the morning, after the buffet breakfast which me and mom really enjoyed, we went to the poolside and just took pictures. It was something so memorable that I'm ever so grateful with Ham for it...He's really one of a kind. Te amo hamkin.

unorthodox
I truly object with the way a person criticizes people even those who looks timid and conventional. I can join in the bickering with my friends when they see someone who outrageously show off their difference from others. I mean it's just a harmless laugh anyway. But I truly don't get it when girls tend to look so mean and finding fault to those who wanted to be timid and conventional. The usual comment would be, "nasa loob lang ang kulo niyan". And once they heard something bad about that shy girl, they would have a winning smile on their face and say, "see? tama ang hinala ko". And they would have a contented smile on their face, and feeling as if they're superior, because unlike them, they truly show the others that they're verbose, unreserved, and outgoing. If that's their personality and true to themselves I don't think they should really have a problem with those who are their complete opposite.
