and you have no idea where to go but you want it to be special?

There are lots of places and you may find it very difficult to decide where is the best…actually, this is but another mystery, which dates can make a girl really put a smile?

Here are some of the many ways to spend your day

with your love one, or what we most refer to as “dates”.

1. Take her to a restaurant!

Why not take your girl to fancy restaurants by La Jolla Cove? I heard they have many great foods there. They have a

Fancy Restaurants...

beautiful setting that is really romantic for the two of you. They have different types of food that are very rarely seen, plus they’ve got the Italian style of cooking! And we all know in Italy, everything seems full of love, passion and wonders. Else, you can take her in a simple Chinese restaurant if you both haven’t tried eating the “Chinese ways” it’d be cool to try something out – but try to choose a restaurant she won’t feel bored. Make the moment special as much as you can, and it’s best you make it comfortable for her no matter where you go.

2. Have a picnic at a park

Have a sweet picnic time!

Not only families spend time at parks but also lovers. Sometimes, it’s really nice to feel the sunshine all over you while you’re out looking at the wonders of nature – and it’s very great especially with the one you value most. She’d be excited since it’d be her chance to take some food she will cook for you, and you can bring along a guitar if you both love singing, or maybe, write a poem you two will always remember, right? And the best thing here is that you won’t get bored, because at these special kinds of places, it’s really fun exchanging stories and talking heart to heart.

3. Take her on a concert…

Musically inclined girls and those who love theatrical shows like dates spent on watching concerts and play. Think of it

One of the best concert in the Philippines, Eraserheads Reunion!

as an opportunity to make her feel very happy, especially if you surprise her one time that you’ve already got the tickets.

More importantly, she’ll enjoy because you’re there with her, and most of all because she knows you spent so much effort to let her be able to go on that certain concert or play.

4. Make her part of your family

I know not every relationship is legal, but admit or not legal relationships are the ones that last most. And the day you introduce your girl to your family, is a day she will never forget, although it may have two outcomes. One could be that she won’t enjoy her time and rather feel awkward and scared of your parents and siblings but it’s great if it turns out that she enjoys being with them, because since that day every time you can take her like on your free time – it’d be almost as if she’s already part of the family indeed. Other than this, you won’t longer have any problems in the future if you plan to really ask her to be your lifetime partner.

And I’m sure there are more ways to take your girl on a date she will never forget. Just remember, fancy things won’t do much if you don’t express you love her – make her feel special all the time and definitely your girl will always do the same with you:)

Do you know why girls love being girls sometimes? To be honest, one reason could be that they love being pleased. And giving gifts to a girl has been one way of pleasing her; tell me, do you make your girlfriend happy with your gifts?

Gift for a girlfriend, huh?

Like gifts, girls come in different personalities. There are some who loves shopping, there are some who likes books, there are some who are into sports and there are some who stay simple and need not ask for expensive gifts. There are different girls in this world, but only you would know which one your girl is.

If your girlfriend likes collecting figurines, discount collectible figurines on a local store – or look for a shop where you can find a set and buy them in a cheaper price. You can spend less but still make your girlfriend happy; just choose a good figurine to give. There are many figurines we can find all over different stores – like the heart shaped one figurine for monthsary, and there are also angels figurines for your friends, abstract figurines for boys, and many more if it’s not only for your girlfriend. These kinds of gifts are really beautiful, very cute and colorful.

And if your girl loves shopping, why not take her for a shopping spree! She’d totally hug you tight at the end of the day, as you stroll on your way home. If she’s into books, take her to a huge library, read books with her or read her a story – or better you give her some book she wants to buy. And lastly, if she’s into sports, take her out to play her favorite sport game.

There are different ways of making a girl happy, if she’s not a materialistic girl, then you’re lucky! But materials gifts doesn’t really matter in general, what matters in the end is that you make her feel you’re there, and you never leave her alone.

Gifts are very much important to everyone especially to girls. If you want to make your girlfriend happy you need to give her a gift that really makes her remember you every time she sees it, give a gift that will be useful to her – but most off all, the best gift is something that comes from the heart. Girls may love gifts packed in expensive gift wraps but remember to be there always for them, because girls are fragile and they should be taken care of.

Couple still in love even without hair, even how old they are.

Eventually, every one of us – no matter how young we are now, we will get old. We will have white hairs and we will have wrinkles here in there and yet, we cannot stop it because it is part of being human. But what’s worst if you have someone dearly to you who have illnesses such as cancer.

Cancer is deadly and we all know that very well, but it doesn’t mean we should feel pity for that someone we love, we must think positive and give them support, we must make them feel that no matter what happens we’re there, right?

Often times, victims of cancer undergo chemotherapy to have a longer life but because of these they lose hair.

Sadly, some look at them differently once they see them without hair; they forget inner beauty and treat them as if they are an outcast, as if they’re someone they don’t know:(

And that is wrong!

We must stop this kind of treatment, they are people – fighting for their lives, fighting for their right to live longer and spend more time here with us. Shouldn’t we at least make them feel loved? Make them feel comfortable, and if you can, have let them have a hair replacement surgery. Their confidence will come back and along with that, it’s best you treat them with so much love.

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone knew what the beauty of life is?

…and for me, that is LOVE.

They say memories are the best things in the world to treasure. And as couples, or lovers – taking pictures of special moments are one of the most fun things to do. But after you’ve have so many pictures, wacky pictures, sweet pictures together and many more pictures, do you know what else you can do to make everything more sweet and special? Answer:  Make a scrapbook together of your pictures or letters!

Tip #1: Choose the best pictures, make them the unique ones. Put a funny note or a sweet note afterwards. Make your own designs! You can always buy scrapbooking paper to make it more colorful.

Put your best pictures!~

Tip #2: Include sweet notes or quotes!

Mushy mushy quotes..

Sweet quotes make the heart beat faster because they remind a person how much you care them.

Tip #3: Be creative! Include love letters, or the first receipt of your first date. Include line of your favorite song, be inspired!

A sweet song

And if you want to make it as a gift – I’m sure the person whom you’ll give it too will love it as well.

So, isn’t it a great idea? You can even reuse old materials if you can’t afford expensive design stuffs!

Happy Scrap-booking!

And stay in love

What are some gift ideas during monthsary days?
More importantly, what is a monthsary anyway?

Recently, I just also found out the word “monthsary” isn’t in even in the dictionary! However, lovers or couples keep using the term for their “every month celebration” which happens on the same date of the month when they came to be. I don’t know how to explain, but for those who are taken and in love or what you know what I mean to say – so let’s get going!

Here are some of the gifts you might want
to give your special someone on your monthsary!

1. Handmade Crafts/Items or Things You Made

Who wouldn’t love handmade items? Girls like it most when the gifts given by their boyfriends were made with so much effort and time. Why not make a handmade keychain? And as for guys, I think it’d be thoughtful to give them a customized scarf or wristband. It may be too mushy, and guys might deny how much they appreciate it, but in fact they really feel you’re so sweet.

This one looks cute, for a girl who loves kittens <3

There was actually a time when I made a little stuff toy for Christian, it was supposedly a little teddy bear. But in the end it ended up looking like a goofy cat-like-teddy-bear. I didn’t have much knowledge with stitching, but Christian appreciated it a lot even though what I made was so funny looking.

Think of it this way, no need to spend money – unless you’re going to buy materials in making your handmade crafts. As for me, I used old clothes and I know there are other things you can reuse and make something of.

Better yet, you can check out stores like BeadsandCrafts that provide handmade keychains, clips and rosaries that your loved one might adore – they’re cheap, and affordable.

2. Love Letters/Happy Monthsary Cards

The cheapest and yet the best gift of all monthsary gifts! And most of all, no couple has ever lasted without sweet notes given to each other every now and then. You can simply write a love letter to the one you love – tell how much you love them, how much happy you are with them, tell how much blessed you are God gave them to you.

Often, when I write letter I tell how much I love the person and in Christian’s case, I never forget to tell that I’ll always be there for him. That way, you make a person feel safe and loved.

And that no matter what happens you’ll be at his/her side.

Christian's letter for me on our Monthsary!

Love letters are simple yet full of words that touch the heart, which simply explains why they are loved no matter how short or long they are.

Same goes with Happy Monthsary Cards – especially if they’re self made. Be it a guy or a girl you’re giving it to, as long as you pour in all your heart and care your partner will definitely love it and cherish it forever.

3. Cook something for him or her (for girls to their loved ones)

Yummies for baby <3

On your special day, wouldn’t it be special if you cooked something for your hubby? Right! Who wouldn’t like a special meal made with all effort and heart? This is especially surprising if you’re the kind of girl who rarely cooks – because for sure your guy will feel so touched that even if you didn’t know how to cook you tried your best to cook something for him. Try to find out his favorite food, bake a cake or make a heart-warming dessert! Not everyone knows how to cook, but if you really are eager you can do things and how much for if these are the things that are for a special person, right?

And if you don’t know what to cook or how to cook something, there are gazillions of recipes online you can find.

The best are sweets – but of course men eat a lot, so cook a lot of food they really crave for!

4. Have special date (guys to girls)

Girls actually love dates – they really do. Taking your girl to a movie or simply treating her at a restaurant makes

Aww, that's sweet <3

her feel really loved. It doesn’t really matter how expensive and it only does sometimes. What only matters at these kind of events is the effort you made to save enough to take her to a restaurant where you two can eat your favorite food, tell your stories to each other, share jokes to make each other laugh – and at the end of the day walk together holding hands with so much love.

And if you plan to take her on a movie, why now choose a love themed movie? You can also choose horror because some girls enjoy horror instead – make sure you let her choose something you both can enjoy. And lastly, make her feel comfortable every time you take her on a date.

5.  Join special event you two might like.
I know a couple who spends their time together by watching basketball games, and another couple who enjoy joining sport events like running. Same would do with other couples – wouldn’t it be fun if you go to an event you two might find different yet enjoying? It’d be cool to try something new with the one you love. Why not join a contest, and then you might even win! You can even meet other people; friends who’ll you’ll cherish and later maybe invite them to your “wedding to be”.

Nice get up

Then there’s an event we call as “Cosplay” wherein people dress up as anime/fantasy game characters – it’d be really cute if you go join and dress up as an anime couple for the day. It’d be definitely unique plus enjoying.

There are a lot of different events that happens everyday, and if you have one it will surely be better if you can take with you the person you love the most.

6. Do a hobby you both enjoy doing!

Does she love drawing? Does he love basketball? Or do you both love computers?

Try to think of a common thing or hobby you two love doing most, say – he likes writing and you love writing poems as well, why not make a song together?

And if he/she has a hobby you know of, you can always try it out yourself

because in the end who knows, you might enjoy it too.

Not only does doing a common hobby count in celebrating a monthsary – a common interest as well can do. If

Playing basketball together no matter how old you get.

you both love singing you can hang out a karaoke bar and spend the whole day singing your lungs out – or maybe, if you both like a sport such as badminton why not play together on your special day! Not only will you have a great time, but also be able to enjoy your talent together and improve your body health.

7. And a last, but not the least – the best monthsary gift :

YOU AND YOUR TIME

Any couple would love to have a monthsary wherein they are together. Of course, being far isn’t really fun at all. When you are with the one you love – money and gifts doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re together; you enjoy each other’s company. You can spend a minute just staring at each other while smiling with all love. And it will always be a happy monthsary if you two are in love with all your heart.

Gifts are very important to everyone, but there sometimes we forget such kind of occasion such as monthsaries; that we really need to give gifts to our love ones.  It is really easy to know her likes and to buy it for them as a gift but what is the most important gift for monthsary? For me it is the time that you will spend for that certain occasion, because it is very different to give your time to make that person happy than to give her luxury. I know all of us here tend to love each other in a way that we want us to be with that person every time for many reason like to assure that she is always safe. Through this kind of gift we can surely show our care and how much you love her. And if ever she will need you she can see and find you, time can give such different meanings to every one for an instance, if some one never spend time with you, you may think that she doesn’t like you. Yet if she has time, you assume and feel that you’re close enough to her that makes you to think that she or she cares for you and there is something between you and her that is unique. Time is really special it is like a simple poem that tells a story which is different to what it wants to say.

—

How you spend a monthsary isn’t really what matters – or what gifts you give and receive. What matters most in the end is that you enjoy, and that best of all you stay in love no matter how far, no matter the time, no matter how much money and everything else. Because in the end, the person you like being with will be the person you spend your life with, and life is short so make the best out of it – be in love, care and love as well.

And in the end, it is the TIME which is the valuable in a relationship and along with that is ATTENTION. Make sure you make him/her happy, no matter how simple your gift will be, it is the thought that counts. Monthsaries are just like with Christmas and any other occasions, only these are the days you celebrate how long you’ve been in love with each other.

Until my next post everyone, stay in love!

Happy monthsary to those who are spending their monthsaries today

And advance happy anniversary to my very own special someone (Christian).

I only gave seven ideas because those were only I could think of as of now, and because of a simple reason that we celebrate our monthsary every 7th of the month! We also do on the 5th and the 6th…but that’s another story.

I’ll post more of this soon. Take care and God bless!<3

Happy Monthsary

Yet another month is almost over. You know what that means? Yeah, we’re going to celebrate our monthsary soon again! I’m so happy! But I want to give Christian a gift, but I don’t know what. Fortunately, I was told about terry bath robe. Bath robes are actually rarely used according to my observation. Other than that, only a few prefer it. But I plan to buy Christian one, such as one like the waffle bath robe! I know he’s having a hard time with his bath towel, it’s quite old.

Meanwhile, I also found on the same site where I found those a cute towel wrap I can use myself, or give my cousins. It might be a small thing but I know it will be appreciated. I’m still looking for other monthsary gifts. Oh well, Advanced Happy Monthsary to us!

How about you, can you suggest other great gifts?
