my complicated life

after finally figuring out how to operate our sewing machine (thanks to my friend ellyn!), i finally found the courage to make my first ever masterpiece. hehe.

with all the retasos from the bedding that ellyn made for me, i tried patching things up and made a cover for our bread toaster. i won't post a photo anymore since it hasn't achieved that masterpiece quality. haha. medyo malaki siya than what it was supposed to be. however, since it still served the purpose of covering the damn toaster, pde na ring pagtiyagaan. =)

oh yeah, i haven't posted that around two weeks ago i was able to repair hubby's jeans and my maternity wear splendidly. naks! pinangangatawanan ko pagiging homemaker noh. actually, what made me really, really pursue learning to operate the sewing machine was the fact that hubby wanted to buy a new pair of jeans. haha. sayang kaya... pang-grocery na rin ang 100 dirhams noh. when i sewed his torn jeans, it looks good as new. bilib nga siya eh! hihi.

i really don't expect anything special to happen this day or on any other Valentine's Day as my hubby is not that kind of guy. well, i have to live with it amongst other weaknesses included in the package. hehe.

anyhow, the day turned out different. when i got home from the office, he greeted me and i replied back casually. then he asked if i have seen his gift for me at the dining room. i said, i haven't and how i wished it was something tasty. haha, napaghaha-halata! before i go and see it, i told him it must not be a joke or i'd kill him. ;) so, off i went to the dining area and saw a single red rose, stuck in my vase. well, that's the vase where i put fresh flowers that i receive. it was kilig na rin since this was the first time i receive a flower from him that was bought. =) before, he gave me some roses too (not on a Valentine's Day), but it was just plucked from his inang's collections. at least, now he managed to buy me one na. improving...!!! haha.

more to that, we had dinner in one of the restos in the city. not a fine dining one, as he went home late from work so we figured out that fine dining at that hour means a crowded place with expats from all over. so we just had a quiet dinner in one continental restaurant with a candle at your table to make it romantic nonetheless. overall, the night was okay na rin. at least, valentine's day did not passed us by just like that.
