valentines at first sight

A day before Valentines Day and yet I still don't have anything to give to my husband. This year will be our first Valentines together as husband and wife, and I wanted it to be special. I want to give him something that he wanted but never came to buying it. So that's the challenge I've set to myself... There's a sale at Fila store and I was thinking of buying him a sneakers. But, I’ve already bought him shoes at Rockport last Christmas. So I scrapped that idea. I then decided to buy him a nice card and just buy the gift afterwards [when I know what to get for him].

And when I arrived at National Bookstore, it came to me immediately what Adrian wanted. And so I scan through the bookshelves and there it was at the bottom... a hardcover book novel by Nicholas Sparks. I vividly remember him telling me about the sequel to the novel True Believer, entitled At First Sight after he saw it at PowerBooks Greenbelt. For the past months he has been asking me if Maya [our friend who lent us the True Believer book] has already bought a copy so we can borrow it [Yes, a man who loves computer books and online games has a hidden appreciation to romantic novels too]. We used to drop by PowerBooks every time we're at the mall to check if the paperback version of the book has been released already but to no avail.

So what better time to give a romantic novel to the one you love but during this time of the year. So I called PowerBooks Megamall and reserved the book. To my surprise the cost is cheaper than the one I saw in National Bookstore [and to think that the2 bookstores are sister companies], the more excited I become. I planned to pick up the book today at lunchtime but then I changed my mind and picked it up last night so I can wrapped it nicely too. After an hour of wrapping and writing on the card, it was ready to be given. But of course I waited until midnight to give it to him. He read the card [smirks at me in every sweet, corny words I wrote] and opened my gift while we were in bed, snuggled up in our blanket and getting ready to sleep. He said that I should read it first :) [ahh he's reading my mind! actually I wanted to, right after I bought the book] Hehehehe! OK, i admit I have an ulterior motive when I bought it... Anyway, we kissed good night, greeted another Happy Valentine's day to each other and held hands until we fall asleep.

I would have wanted to make love with him last night but my OB advices me not to due to my delicate condition. So maybe next Valentine's day *GRIN*. or if that's too long to wait.. 2 months after giving birth.
