I feel so dumb.
My pride just went down a few notches.
I take pride in myself for being good in conversational and written english. I feel my stomach twitch every time I hear people talk in mixed tagalog and english; But today, for the first time in my life, I unintentionally did it too! While talking to my boss.
Boss: So how do you delete it?
Kayan: You have to use the ANO.
Kayan: The computer.
Boss: (laughed a little) Okay, so I have to use the ANO.
Kayan: Hehehe. Yeah, the ano.
P.S.
Ano = What.
Filipinos usually use the 'ano' word to fill in into anything when they run out of english. Nose bleed.
P.P.S.
In my defense, my boss made me speed drive this morning. The usual 15-20 minute drive became 7 minutes because he called me and he needed something from me before he leaves for his meeting (he says he needs to leave in 10 minutes). So while I was talking to him my body and mind and heart was still in a rush because of the panic from the said speeding (thank goodness there were no cops!!!).

Complete Valentine's Day Package
I am such a lucky, happy, preggy wife!
My husband treated me to a pregnancy massage. I enjoyed it so much, the whole 90 minute-long pampering of my tired and aching muscles. I should have had one a long time ago. I am 7.5 months pregnant now and that's how long I have not had a massage. That masseuse had magic hands! Aches and pains... G-O-N-E!
After massage, we went to House of Brutus. We love the food there and we love how it is never crowded. Apparently they had a Valentine's Day special: Salad, main course of rib-eye steak and basa fish, apple pie and ice cream for dessert, and 2 glasses of wine (which I can't have)... all for just $35! What a great deal!
After yet a successful dinner date, we went home and my husband surprised me (but wait, there's more?!) with a bouquet of flowers. :) He knows that my weakness are flowers. I was really surprised since I really do not expect flowers anymore since we got here in Guam. IT IS SO DAMN EXPENSIVE and they are just mediocre flowers, compared to the creative, colorful, variety of flora they have in the Philippines. I guess it really does help to not expect anything and you get doubly surprised by the gesture.
♥ My husband cooked up a Complete Valentine's Day Package. He is perfect! ♥
Happy Valentine's Day to all!
P.S.
It's a good thing we did celebrate V-day this year. My co-worker just reminded me that this will be our last V-day as a couple... why?
Because starting April, yes, that's in a few weeks, I and hubs will no longer be two... but three! Our little one will be here very very soon! Next V-day there will be the three of us celebrating. Woooow! :)
