No Ordinary Valentines Day

Early morning on valentines day (while on the bus heading for work):

JMR - open na ang admin offices in-ani nga oras?

ME - depende kung sayo ang service master or kung nana tao sa offices

JMR - sayo musulod imo boss?

ME - usahay...usually mga 7:30am to 7:45am

JMR - open na ang HR? OPD?

ME - hmmmm.. why man? ang clinic open 24 hours 

JMR - aw wala lang..sige unya na lang

ME - aw okay

Jiemar acted strange early that morning. And I smelled something fishy.

Valentines Day was just another ordinary day for both of us - not until this year's celebration. We never celebrated valentines for some reasons. So I never expected he'd do something extraordinary this year. 

After a few hours, he called:

JMR - hello, naa olis dinha? (he was looking for his supervisor)

ME - wala man..murag naa sa training center

JMR - aw okay..sige2

And so, after a few minutes, I heard his whistle and there he was outside my office with a bouquet in hand. Hey there, big smile on my face! I was turning red (my nose was turning red, he pointed out). I was surprised (and he was surprised with himself too!)  That was my first valentine bouquet ever. And the gift tag-which I never got a chance to take a picture of before I lost it: "You complete my life" Awwww. Sweet.

the evidence!

the bouquet (a dozen of red roses)!

We met at Limketkai Center - on my hand was the bouquet. I had the most evident bouquet (a big one) and we were strolling on the mall. Imagine that. Haba ng hair! 

So we landed at Pancake House. All other restaurants were block busters-eavy traffic of customers here and there.

The Love Birds (cheesy!)

waiting for our order

Attack!

For Jiemar: Sweet and Sour Fish

For Me: Spicy Chicken Fillet with Brown Rice Pilaf

Happy!

And for dessert, Strawberry Sundae for me and Coffee Crumble for him at Jollibee-XU. And, pork barbecue at Barbecue Station -  Second round? Food trip Galore.

It was a No Ordinary Valentines Day.

Unforgettable.

Hooray for Valentines!
