Valentines Day 2011

What a typical Filipina would want for a Valentines Day? Chocolate (check), greeting card (check), flowers (check) and "harana" (well, I took care of that - check). Many people make this day an excuse for consumerism - cost of flower sky rocketed at least 3 times more. But we can't help it... Valentine's Day is truly a sorry excuse for hopeless romantic - and I'm a self-profess hopeless romantic. And Dennis, out of love, would go the distance to make sure he will take care of that "Filipina-in-me" (and perhaps to avoid an ugly confrontation later - hehe!).

We all say that everyday should be a Valentines Day the way we say that everyday should be a Christmas Day. But we do forget - it's human nature to forget - so we take advantage of days like this when we can sit down, have dinner, make some chocolate chip muffin with chocolate sundae, stop and smell the flowers, listen and dance to your wedding song, remember the reasons we fell in love - just remember.... and we do. Keeping it that way is the real challenge... but today... just today, it's our Valentines Day.

Dennis, you're my anchor. You're the only thing that is constant in my life. You're the only safe decision I've ever made... and I'm the only risk you took. I love you... to eternity and beyond.
