"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
Looking at its front cover, I'm already seduced into getting a copy of this cook book. Intercourses by Martha Hopkins and Randall Lockridge is a collection of classic aphrodisiac recipes and sensual food art.
Oysters, honey, chocolate, strawberries - ahh, sexy and yummy!
Love is still in the air! Here are eight ways you can show your man how he rocks your world. Some are taken from books or articles that I've read. The other suggestions are just from my mind - yet to be fulfilled.
1. At bedtime, put some lotion on his feet to moisturize them during these cold times.
2. Celebrate the chilly nights with an ice kiss. How? Melt an ice cube in your mouth until your mouth becomes cold and then plant a kiss that will give him chills!
3. This Valentine's Day, let him mess up your clean kitchen by cooking his special gourmet thing.
4. Dab a tiny drop of your perfume on his handkerchief or collar. He'll think of you the whole day.
5. Snuggle up to him while sipping that hot chocolate or watching the sad-ending movie.
6. Learn how to whisper in his ear with your mouth open.
7. Dig through his baby pictures and frame his funny or witty poses.
8. Conduct a careful study of his erogenous zones and make use of your knowledge.
Those sweet bunch of fresh flowers would surely melt a lady's heart on V day.
Make me an exception.
Well, okay, I lied. I like flowers but a single white rose is enough to make me smile. Watching the late night news, I can't imagine how a dozen of roses could cost up to a thousand pesos. With today's global crisis, it's not really practical to use all that money for flowers.
Gilbert knows me too well I guess. He spent the last few days making me my Valentine's Gift - a gorgeous, sturdy kitchen rack. I've been telling him how I like to enhance our kitchen space for my everyday cooking. He bought the steel from a junk shop, repainted and cut it equally. The thick wood and high pressure laminates (HPL) were purchased from the newly opened Wilcon Builders in Dau, Pampanga.

almost done

All kitchen clutter is now gone!
I didn't get any teddy bear, balloon, flowers nor chocolates for V Day. We didn't dine in an overpriced restaurant along with everyone else in the world. And it's perfectly fine.
Gilbert and I enjoyed the company of our families instead with a home-made dinner. No traffic jam, no horrific crowd. Just tons of laughter and stories. Having all of them in my life means more to me than anything else.
Oh and by the way...
I also got this La Senza sheer luxe mesh from my Valentine date. I was totally surprised and I love it!
Thanks sweetie! Happy Hearts' Day to everyone!
