thinking of a naughty gift

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. In the past years, hubby and I worked all out to make this occasion special but since we are busy with other things this year, we agreed to keep it simple.

By simple I understand that we will be skipping the lavish celebrations but we will definitely still do the gifting. And because we are keeping it simple this time, I would like to give him a simple yet very personal gift. I haven’t decided on one yet. Customized stuff such as shirts, mugs, personalized pens are very common already but are still not a bad idea. They’re still on my choices.

But I want something really personal so perhaps I’ll visit the naughty “s” shop and get something from there. What do you think? Haha! It crossed my mind several times before but I never gave him anything of that sort. So anyway, I want something funny to give (like a macho dancer costume—hahaha!) and that’s where I thought of getting it from. I always fancy going inside one of those shops because of curiosity but not once did I find the courage to do so. Perhaps this time… Who knows? *Wink! If not then personalized stuff it is!

the sweetest thing

Although hubby and I have been together for more than three years, I still feel a bit shy every time he asks me what I want to receive as a gift (for special occasions). But my shyness is not the reason why I always say “flowers” when confronted with such a question. I really like flowers and I think that flowers make a special occasion more special. Flowers are very romantic. I think that they can melt the heart of most women.

Valentine’s Day is still a month away but I am sure that soon, hubby will ask me what I want for this occasion. And after hearing my answer, he’ll ask his second question which is, “other than that?” I can’t understand why a lot of men give themselves a hard time thinking what they could give their partner for Valentines! What is more romantic than flowers?!? Beats me.

So they could google the Top Valentine’s Gifts for 2010 but if anyone wants my advice, give your sweetheart a bouquet and some chocolates or balloons. It’s predictable and old fashioned but it is still romantic. You could, of course, give some other things too (if you want to be gallant with your present) but never ever forget the flowers.

repairing my car

Since I got my car last October, I had two accidents. The first one was not serious. I got a few scratches that are not really visible from afar. The second one came as a shock to me. I was not hurt (thank God) but my car spinning and hitting a post is not really what I’d call fun. I honestly thought I died.

It was my first time  to drive on a snowy/icy road and it was really weird and difficult for me. I didn’t feel that my car has a grip on the road so I remember being really careful but although I exerted extra caution, my car still slipped and that’s when it happened.

My car made a semi circle then it hit a post.

Luckily, only the number plate was damaged (and a few negligible dents): nothing we can’t take care by ourselves.

So instead of getting my car fixed by mechanics in super expensive car repair shops, my husband consulted some auto repair shops online and repaired the damage by himself. That saved me some bucks.

Luckily, I have a husband who is knowledgeable with automobiles and luckily too that  he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty to do some manual works especially if a work has something to do with cars.
