Actually, this is one of the occasions that I just learned to just let pass by. You know why? In my 6 years relationship with my current boyfriend / fiance, I only got like 1 valentine's day that I got flowers from him. Every time valentine's day comes, I kinda expect to receive something, but the day ends and wala pala akong hinihintay.
Well this year is different. Come 12 midnight, Feb 14, I was just cleaning my stuff, getting ready to sleep and not really expecting anything special. Then, my fiance came into the room with a bouquet of 3 beautiful pink tulips. OMG!
I was surprised obviously and very happy at the same time. I rewarded him with lots of kisses and hugs today. Haaaayyy... talaga nga naman. Kung kelan naman di ko ineexpect ay saka nagbigay ng flowers. Nahiya pa nga ako kasi I never bought any gift for him. O well.. bawi na lang ako sa kanya some other time.
Lesson learned: Expect too much and you might just end up disappointed. Expect too little and you will be able to appreciate good surprises. :-)
