Valentine's Day Gift For the Man of Your Life

The Christmas and New Year's holiday hustle and bustle has calmed down. We are in for another special occasion to celebrate in few weeks time. I am sure everyone is familiar with this romantic day celebrated globally - Valentine's Day.

Couples are already planning and asking around for favorable Valentines day presents to give their better halves, partners or sweethearts. The internet is buzzing with offers and promotional deals for people who wish to purchase their special gifts online. This saves them time, hassle and even money because of the great deals offered.

Like everyone else who wants to make their partners happy and special, I checked the web too for valentine's day gift for men and have found several hits. There are categories to choose from like gifts for the sporty, the romantic, the professional, the nature lover, the fashion-conscious, the food and wine expert and the gadget and high-tech fanatic. 

The gift-giving trend for this romantic occasion has really evolved over the years. We have plenty of options and gift-giving has been creative too. An example of that is a hot-air balloon ride for the nature and adventure lover or a ride on a speeding jetboat to the sporty man of your life. 

So, do not get stuck on the common gift trends. Be creative and enjoy the special moment together.

Friday Tags - Tagged

I was tagged by my good blogger pal - Kikamz of Just About Anything. It has been a while since I last did a tag and I am sure that I owe many of my friends out there for not posting their tags. I just lost count and cannot recall who and when someone tagged me.

This tag is sort of cute and gives me the that electrifying feeling like I was in my teens.

What are your middle names?
~Mine is C while his is P.

How long have you been together?
~6 years as sweethearts and 12 years, 10 months as a married couple.

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
~A few months.

Who asked whom out?
~ He did but we always went out as a group.

How old are each of you?
~I am 37 and he's 39

Whose siblings do you see the most?
~My younger brother. He lives with us here in Dubai.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
~Making ends meet. I think this is the common challenge most couples have to face.

Did you go to the same school?
~No

Are you from the same home town?
~No

Who is smarter?
~Both. He neutralizes the equilibrium. He's good in finances, logic, figures while I am good at Science, English, the arts...

Who is the more sensitive?
~ME.

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
~Chili's, Shakey's Pizza (while we were still in the Philippines)

Who has the crazier exes?
~I think we both have. Though he rather not talk about his exes (not sure if there were many! hahahaha) but mine were dysfunctional individuals. I think I was a magnet (then!) of major losers! hehehehe....

Who has the worse temper?
~Ehermmm. Hahahaha! I hate to admit it but he is such a nice bloke. I am quite sensitive and emotional so taking hold of my temperament goes with the territory. I am very patient but when I reach my snapping point, I do let it out. I don't have outbursts nor tantrums but I do make my point known by...let's just say, making a big "noise." That noise is not nagging nor anything of that sort.

Who does the cooking?
~I never had the knack for cooking so he does that and he cooks well.
Who is the neat-freak?
~I get the credit here! I am a neat-freak and proud of it! I cannot think clearly when I see a messy room nor area. Unfortunately, I have to live my way around the mess in the house because my hubby and daughter (and the four-legged member of the family) are not particularly keen on maintaining a neat and orderly house.

Who is more stubborn?
~Both of us.

Who hogs the bed?
~He does. I wake up without any comforter and always end up having cough and colds!!! I get all the cold draft you know. So now, I sleep with my termal socks on just in case...

Who wakes up earlier?
~I do all-the-time!

Who is more jealous?
~GUILTY!!! That would be me. However, I try my best to conceal my jealousy so I seethe deep inside.

How long did it take to get serious?
~about a year I guess

Who eats more?
~He does.
Who does the laundry?
~I do.

Who’s better with the computer?
~We both are. He's good with the technical and programming side of it and I with the applications and minor tweakings.

Who drives when you are together?
~80% of the time he does. I am a reluctant driver and with the crazy drivers here in Dubai, who would like to drive around?

That was fun! I am tagging Meryl, Cely, MsRay, and Enid. Enjoy!

Oh Love!

It's Valentine's Day soon and a lot of couples out there are planning laboriously on every detail of their very important date this 14 February.

I remember the time when my hubby and I used to date. We always go out a day before the big event because we just don't want overcrowded places and you have to deal with the traffic too. After many years of togetherness, we still go out, he still buys me flowers and sometimes gives me gifts. I often ask him not to since I am already contented with whatever I have and being with him is more than enough (wink!).

Now, I'm not saying we are getting old for this "love-thing." As a matter of fact, there's no age boundary in celebrating or observing this special "love" day with someone dear to you or someone you are currently courting.

No matter the age, I think Valentine's Day is one of the most popular occasions people observe. It's one of those days when you get to feel "special." So, to every one out there, single or hooked, dating or not, married or something else...here's wishing you a day full of love on Valentine's Day. Hope the love flows beyond Valentine's!
