I prepared a small card with an origami heart, made nama dark chocolates (first time making it, and i forgot the rum T.T), and presented a really terrible rendition of "drowning" by backstreet boys on guitar. seriously, it would have sounded better if i simply used instrumentals and sung instead, but i guessed it's a lot more meaningful if i tried hard to learn this relatively new instrument and played a song on it while singing. he liked it though, so all is well and good :)
on the other hand, i received hand-made tiramisu, prepared lovingly over 6 hours (which includes 1.5hours of non-stop mixing because he lacked a whisk), and a delicious home-cooked dinner! he also gave me a necklace of seratonin, which is the hormone that promotes joy, so he claims it's my name in molecular terms. quite cool, and now i shall wear it everywhere and all the time! :D
i love the box it came in though, it's so pretty and is my favorite shades of pink and purple, and it says "made with love". so happy-making! ^^

i realize it's not what we give each other that matters, but rather the effort and thought that went into it. i really much preferred these gifts to a typical flowers and dinner thing because they don't last (though those would be nice too). the fat that the tiramisu is piling on me does last though xD
ahh life is good, and i can't wait to see what surprise he springs on me next! ^^
p.s. came across this article online, and was really inspired by the vows. those are things i'm seeing right now with him, so i'd love to keep it up. if i lose my way in the future, it's something great i can refer to.
