Happy Happy Valentine’s Day my loves!
I woke up today with a kiss and a bouquet of flowers. I honestly wasn’t expecting anything from my fiance.
For he has given me so much already so I was really really surprised!
I was like, “Do you remember the last time you gave me a bouquet of flowers? My 17th birthday!”
Bhahaha, that was 6 years ago! So funny!
And when I said he has given me so much already, I mean literally! Earlier this month he bought me a new DSLR, for he knew how much I wanted to upgrade my Sony Nex-3. He also bought me a ring light to go with it ♥
My new DSLR, for those wondering, is the Sony Nex-5T (in black) – I wanted white, but it looked too plastic-y for me hehe. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE it! It had made such a huge difference in the photos I take and my YouTube videos. I’m so in love! I haven’t really played with my ring light much for I’m a natural lighting type of girl but I will soon hehe.
Don’t think Tom stopped there. He surprised me about a week ago too with this sheepskin rug! I’ve been lusting over them for so long now. I have a faux fur rug from Ikea, which is not even close to this one, quality-wise.
I just love it so much! It’s super soft and Sushi approves of it! hahaha
I’m just beyond surprised still with all of this. I apologize if it seems like I’m bragging but if you know Tom, this DOES NOT happen often. lol Not that he never gives me gifts, it’s just for Valentine’s Days, for the past couple of years, we usually just go out for dinner and a movie -something simple like that. So this to me is big and I can’t even say thank you enough. Oh and by no means am I saying that Valentine’s Day is all about “gifting,” because it is not.
It is a day to just celebrate love, to remind someone how much you care about them – it doesn’t have to be a significant other. It can be your parents, best friends/friends, sisters, brothers, anyone in your life that you appreciate. Not that you shouldn’t show them affection everyday in your life but you know what I mean haha.
I can say I am truly blessed to have someone in my life that showers me with love and supports what I love to do (YouTube). It really means so much to me! I am so happy ♥ and in love hehe.
So what are your plans for Valentine’s Day? Mine is to cook a BIG DINNER for Tom when he gets home and give him what I made him as a gift haha (see it here). Also, tomorrow we plan on going to Chicago just to see the city and kind of get away 🙂 I can’t wait for it’s been a while since I’ve been in the actual city and I’ve never been there during the winter too. I just hope it won’t be super cold though haha.
Thank you loves for reading! See you on my next post, and again…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
xoxo

Sweet! <3 You got great gifts from your fiance. I'm so happy and inspired to read something like this since I'm starting to doubt everything about love lately (or maybe this isn't my time or moment yet haha). Enjoy your get away in Chicago. Happy Valentine's Day!
Ps.
Your DSLR is so nice. I think it's handy and good.
The usual dslr is heavy, heavy and heavy. Haha!

Wow! A bouquet of flowers and kiss goes a long way. 🙂 That’s so sweet! We celebrated v-day yesterday over lunch and in the car (three-hour traffic jam) on the way home.

You are really loved and blessed to have a generous partner. I’m also using Sony as my DSLR.

such a nice flowers for valentines! happy valentines day to you too charmaine!! i’ve been eye-ing for this sony before but I opt to get my canon 600D hehe. i have a canon HD camera which I use for taking my travel videos as well as it gets more clearer and crisp videos. Got flowers too for valentines and got so many things this February as it is my Birthday as well hehe
Charmaine Manansala says
Ohhh I wanted a canon dslr, but it’s just so heavy and too bulky for me. Just not for me, for I like to bring my camera everywhere. Hehe and yayyyyy!! Happy for you!
