Vancouver 2010

Oh how I would love to be in Vancouver right now.

I just watched the Ladies Freestyle Skiing on Solar Sports and boy, how I loved the way they ski. I forgot who the US contestant was, but she was amazing. These girls are really ski masters!

I have experienced winter in the United States once, New York City to be exact, but I have never tried winter sports. It was too expensive to go to Denver, Colorado. But I would really love to try it, even just skiing for beginners. My gosh, I think the length of the skis is just my height! lol I feel like doing the bobsled like that guy in the movie Cool Runnings, who was a Jamaican but really wanted to compete in the bobsled competition in the winter games.

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

What would I like?

Valentine gifts are a big deal. It is because love is a big issue for every person. We were created or wired that way, that is why love is like part of our essential needs, like food and water. Without love, our lives become miserable.

I would really like to get a nice gift this Valentine’s Day. I am thinking of flowers, because I really do like flowers, but sometimes, pragmatism tells me that flowers wilt after a day. And no matter how much they cost, they won’t last. They are just nice for the day. Maybe it is the thought that counts. But well, I think a lasting gift would be nicer.

Then I am thinking of perfume. I had been wanting to buy even just a cheap bottle of perfume for some time now but I have not gotten to doing so. So getting one this Valentine’s Day would be a nice treat. I am not sure if my husband will read this blog entry. I hope so, so that he will get the idea. hehe

But most of all, what I would really like for Valentine’s is to spend time with my hubby. We have not gone out just the two of us for some time now and being able to have some quality time with him would be a really nice treat. Actually, I already asked him out for next week. Although we have not set the date yet, but we already know what we want to do.

It will just be something simple, nothing too extravagant. The movies have been struck out because a ticket is already very expensive nowadays. Add to that gasoline and then meals, then we would really have to spend a lot. So instead, hubby and I have thought of just buying take out and bringing the food with us to the pier. There we get sea breeze and free parking. A couple of hours eating, holding hands and talking, would be a nice way to spend time together.

Valentine’s Day is coming!

My goodness! It seems that I have not yet gotten over the frenzy or lost the weight gain of the holidays and now Valentine’s Day is coming. As in it is already the second month of 2010. I am still not used to writing the year 2010 anywhere and now, February is coming up.

I have been rather occupied lately for the preparations for my daughter’s first birthday on the second week of March. That means it is up in just 5 weeks. And the last couple of weeks, I have not done anything but writhe in pain because of a big laceration that I had that needed surgery.

But now, it is almost the end of the month and yeah, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I have been reading much lately about marital improvement and I have been so much in love. I thank God for my husband and our marriage. And this union has brought forth a really beautiful daughter. There is just so much to be thankful for and so much to celebrate.

We cannot really wait for Valentine’s day to have a day, so we are having a simple outing next week. We are going to arrange for the care of our daughter and then we will just hang out for a couple of hours. Yeah, just the two of us.

On Valentine’s Day, well, I will have to think what to do. As for my husband, I do hope he will look up some interesting Valentine’s Day ideas for men that he can apply for us. hahaha This is one that I am going to really enjoy. Last year, I was already 8 months pregnant, but we did make Valentine’s a holiday. We checked in the hotel for some alone time and then just went around. It was lovely.

I am looking forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day this year.
