So! It's Valentine's Day. I don't think I ever blogged about Valentine's er... but I may be wrong. Haha.
SO HAPPY!!
From my un-romantic boyfriend I got a mumu surprise. It was funny when it kept getting delayed and even though I sort of knew that it'll probably be a flower, it was still really warmandfuzzy-cute to watch him disappear happily to get it. It's extra endearing because he bounced off to collect it thinking I was safely tucked away somewhere else. Haha.
It gets even better. I called him. (Partly because our dinner was getting cold and
How Come He Didn't See ME I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!)
"YOU JUST SAW ME?! OH! I must have lost my way!"ahem. Yah.
Fast forward to today! We met his momma and momma's friend for lunch, and then was in the middle of an errand when! A plushy, fluffy, whitey polar ambushed
me us. Er, the (tiny) squeal of delight came out before I could stop myself. Oops. Yes, it is rather unbecoming for mid-20s (!) women (!!) to turn mushy in the presence of plush but at least I am consistent. Ha.
Ok, so it was a Happy Valentine's Day :D
The lady at the cashier was so funny.
"He buy for you one har?"
"Huh? Oh, Uh, yah, hahaha."
"So sweeeeet!"But the most important thing that made me ^__________^ was the fact that we had a really good time together today. We didn't go out and date or have dinner at a swanky restaurant; in fact, we just stayed in school. Hur.
Ok, to be fair he did "take me out" (quote him) on a "date" (quote me) on Saturday, so. Which also came as a major surprise.
Anyway, today, we stayed in school. He played his (new) game while I read about
conte fantastique. Quite geeky, but it was cosy. There was no miscomm, insensitivity, grouchy-ness, impatience, over-sensitivity... This is how it should be! Hahahaha.
SOOO. See, amidst the choking amount of happy, cliche couples in blissful clouds with lovelorn looks in their eyes, tightly-clutched roses and blatant PDAs, there are still sweet, humble stories like mine! (wahahahaha).
But really, I saw a lot of dripping-nectar couples today which made me nauseous, but I also saw a lot of quietly affirming, built-on-a-Rock, understated couples. A lady was marking papers, and the man was working on his laptop, and when they communicated, there's an immediate, marked difference that made me smile.
I could only think,
that's the way love's supposed to be. It was a blessed moment, to be reminded.
Happy! :) So there, my virgin Valentine's day entry about Valentine's.
Happy Valentine's Day, all!
