February 14th
I hope everyone enjoyed the “day-of-love” today and that your day is filled with fluttering hearts. Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Thursday this year like most of the population, i had to work.
At work, i decided to give my customers a little Valentine’s Day discount. (I run and manage a Vietnamese restaurant FYI.) Surprisingly many couples decided to have Vietnamese for their Valentine’s dinner, which is good business for us. I just wished i was more prepared for it, like having chocolate hearts to give out instead of the guava candy we normally give out. Maybe i’ll have something prepared for St. Patrick’s Day... since i’m the boss and all, i need to start coming up with these things eh.
Back to the day of hugs and kisses, So as i was sleeping, i got a knock on the door... guess what they were, flowers hand delivered by him! He wanted to stop by to give me a bouquet of my favorite flowers before he went to work. What a sweet surprise!
This year, we had decided to spend Valentine’s Day at home since it was on a weekday and we didn’t have that much time to get ready coming home straight from work, plus i’m sure that every restaurant is booked solid and it would probably be hard for us to get a table.
When we both got off work, we headed to Safeway to purchase the last few missing ingredients for our homemade Valentine’s Day dinner.
What was on the menu:
- Homemade Pizza with Truffle Oil Mushrooms, Tomato, Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Arugula
- Crab & Shrimp Salad with Candied Salmon
- Pulled Pork on Ginger-Infused Pasta Noodles
- Apple Juice with Real Strawberries Slices
It’s PRESENT TIME! What i got from him this Valentine’s Day: a skull pattern shirt from Underground, some yummy smelling candles from Bath & Body Works, a Hello Kitty stuffed puff ball, Essie nail polish in Set in Stones... oh and the flowers. :-)
Girls aren’t really supposed to get present for the guys on Valentine’s Day right? What do we get them? Chocolates and a stuffed bear? Well i made him a card... which i stole the idea from Pinterest/9Gag.
The dog also had her version of a Valentine’s dinner... her favorite Cesar entree... on a cute green flower plate too. Fancy eh.
February 15th
Today is Paul’s niece, Evonne’s 15th birthday dinner at Regency Palace in Chinatown. Since LOTS of strawberries left over from Valentine’s Day, I decided to make her some chocolate-covered strawberries with some round sprinkles. These round sprinkles were like tiny bouncing balls that bounced everywhere. So messy. Hahahaha. Well i hope she likes them.

Possible birthday dress?
So i've decided to celebrate my 26th birthday with dinner at my
favorite sushi restaurant, Red Ember (609 14 Street NW) with my favorite
people. Then we headed to Black Betty for night of music and dancing.
Thank-you everyone for coming and the wonderful gifts. <3
