FREE on Valentines!

My relationship with Ian was never big on Valentine's. For our first two Valentine's, we did not exchange gifts or do something special. But I started to feel a little queasy last year, after all, we are in Eastwood and couples on date with the girl holding a bouquet are everywhere during the day. Though I'm never one to be appreciative of big flower arrangements that cost too much (especially on V-day), wilting and collecting dust a few days after, I would definitely be happy to see a little effort on his side.

So, there I was whining about how I am not receiving anything again from him ("Buti pa ang office me pa-ferrero at roses!"), when he slipped me our locker key. I knew then and there something was up. What I kept thinking was "sana di flowers". Haha. Typical of me. Get whiny that you dont receive flowers but once the chance that it may BE flowers, I get scared that they were. Where am I suppose to place them and it would be to heavy to carry home!

To end my anxiety attack, I peeked in the locker and there was a shiny Nike plastic bag. NIKE FREE!!! I've been wanting to buy those shoes for years! My enthusiasm for them made Ian and Inggo buy their own pair but I never got to buy mine because I never had the spare money.

Ian and I signed up for gym a few days earlier. Since I got a whole lot fatter when my contract expired October last year (read: 20 pounds more of what my initial weight has been before ever going to the gym). I'm pretty anxious to start to lose them again. I guess once you start gym you never should stop because you'd balloon like a hippo (well that's my case) . Anyway, the shoes are to psych me up more. Hopefully, since Ian is now coming with me I wouldn't get too tamad like the last year, I may have only used 6 months out of the 1 year contract.

This time would be different. I swear.

Special thanks to my sensible boyfriend who knew just what I needed.
