Love, love, love.

We don't celebrate valentines. Pathetic.

But love has it that early that morning a delivery boy knocked on our door. With unruly hair, fresh from bed, mister hubby obliged to take the "delivery." Darn, he knew who it was from. What element of surprise was I talking about to my friend when we dropped by that flower shop? I was smiling to myself and was blatantly teasing him, when he pressed that rich smooch on my lips. Well, happy valentines!

And then, the not-so-vocal me, posted my profession of love on facebook for all the world to see. Said my shout out:

..if indeed this is a day of love, this would be just another one. Everyday, all mornings and goodnights, I thank Him for you. And if i fail to see sometimes how good a pair we are, it could be because i'm blinded by the beauty that you always are to me. No one, not even the rains, can ever take your place. Happy Everyday dad."

I loved it. I knew he liked it too.

Happy Everyday!

One step green

At the beginning of the year, I promised myself that I'd really do something solid this time to helping the environment. Why, I know it's such a big deal, but so a must for everyone. Just one little step and it can go a long way. Like, when I buy a book or a pen, or a pen refill, I already refuse to have them in plastic bag. If it can fit in your bag, just keep the receipt and I'm sure you'll do fine. It was harder for stuff in the groceries. And because we usually do our groceries at a particular supermarket and coincidentally they have one way to help persons in the same dilemma as mine. They sell green bags at a reasonable price, plus additional points to their privilege card every time a customer uses the bag when shopping. Not so bad right? Although I am not so interested with the additional points for the privilege card because said card is not so "privileged." But I should thank my classmate-friend Emz who swipes Php10,000/day to my card. Without this special advantage, I would have gotten rid of the card a long time ago.

BUT the bag is great. And I hope all other supermarkets would do the same. Resorting to recyclable materials like cloth and recycled papers are good ideas. They could probably impose an additional price for plastic bags and give incentives for not using one. There can be many ways. Once one starts it, and start it seriously, I'm sure others would follow.

Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply

I gave the monitor a meaningful grin because of this quote I stumbled upon on the net.

Whatever you give a woman, she’s going to multiply. If you give her sperm, she’ll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she’ll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she’ll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she’ll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So - if you give her any crap, you will receive a ton of shit.’
