and now for the UPDATE

de votre vie!

haha... so friday night ended up not being a big fail, but being a BIG HUMONGOUS SUCCESS...

it all started when the plans for chinese new year's eve were planned for early saturday night... and derek had something planned for before we go home saturday night that would make us late for the chinese new year's dinner... so we decided he could, since he wanted to, share that surprise with me friday night!

so he locked me up in the bedroom and all i could hear was furious whisking. and a garlicky smell! and i had suggested to him what i was craving... and it was shrimp linguine and seafoods! and he made just that and it was delicious. he even bought candles in that short span that he went shopping haha.

and it happened. i cried. it was all so nice and the candles were really setting a mood. and he even bought a bouquet of realllll roses, not to hand over to me, but to tear apart and sprinkle all over our dining table. and mumm napa... it shall remain in our hearts forever. such a pretty rose champage. got pretty tipsy haha! off that and other stuff. anyhow.... it was all so sweet and we finally exchanged presents. i gotCHOCOLATES yum and very pretty and expensive chocolates at that! and i gave him his flossin' bball shorts ahha... and a shirt. and his favorite nike socks that come in black. and some purple boxers! haha. to remember me by. and to stand out in his sea of blue boxers! and that one random pink pair of boxers. but our valentine's day was one of the best we've ever spent. partly because we had candlelit dinner in our pjs haha.. i guess thats how they say this is "how we roll". and chinese new year's eve dinner was fun and quite an honor to be there... since i am not really immediate family! but it was all so red. year of the tiger!

then i got together with kathy and joe and we played band hero all night... and had some boba haha as usual!

im at my sister's apt, the one they call kathy.. or as i like to say it kaffy because that's how the kids i used to baby-sit often used to say it... i wonder how they're doing! bigger everytime i see em. and cuter too! [shout out to YUMI! that's their mother]

yay everyone listen to the radio version of taylor swift's you belong with me!!!
