Valentine's Day(s)

Day(s) because I sort of had two of them. Valentine's Day morning I dropped Josh off at the big computer security conference they're having this week in downtown San Jose. It was the perfect chance to show off my "I ♥ MY GEEK" t-shirt from thinkgeek.com, so that's what I wore. =D Anyway, the conference is where his father and friend [livejournal.com profile] thespatula are working, so he got to hang out with them all day and collect tons of free stuff that various computer companies were giving away. When it ended at 5pm I picked up him and [livejournal.com profile] thespatula, and we all went over to Japantown for dinner. Japanese food, yay! The fried banana and green tea ice cream for dessert was especially good. I gave Josh a few little trinkets for the actual holiday: a plush penguin wearing a sweater with hearts on it, a penguin keychain, and Jamba Juice card. I also managed to find a Valentine's Day card with a penguin on it! Anyone notice a theme here?

The next day on the 15th we did our actual Valentine's Day dinner date thing. We went to a fancy little Italian restaurant in Saratoga called The Basin that Josh's aunt and uncle had recommended. It was a really nice place, super friendly and fast service, low-key atmosphere, interesting selection of food. I had one of their specials, a sort of spaghetti dish with fresh crab on top, and it was just a touch spicy and really good. Dessert was a molten chocolate bomb, or something like that, which was also very yummy. We exchanged Valentine's gifts at the restaurant, too. I got him this cute penguin candle holder with various penguins in snowy scenery, one of which is in an actual snow globe (someone explain that one to me...you use the thing to hold a LIT candle!). But I thought it was pretty anyway. Josh's present was tickets for us to go see a Sharks game!!! I'm super happy about that because I just love going to Sharks games, and he's going to come with me even though he has absolutely no interest in hockey. Awww, isn't that sweet? I love my boyfriend! ^_^

Edit: I forgot to mention I also got an lj rose from him! ^^ It's in my userinfo, hehe.

soooo basically....

Yeah yeah, but it's one of the few occasions where you're allowed to indulge in mushiness, heh.

Well I'm free this Saturday (tomorrow) if you're interested. I don't have any ideas for doing something, though.

*tsks*

We're up in SF all day this Saturday. First Jani and I have the traditional wedding and family studio pics that Mom wanted us to take. That's from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Then we're getting Wai, Jani and Dad measured for tuxes that we'll be renting from Men's Warehouse for the SJ banquet.

After that, methinks Mom wanted to take Jani and Steph out to dinner to a really yummy Moroccan restaurant that they've never tried before. *nodsnods*

But we shall try another day I tell you! *whap* Tell Josh I say Hi...and give him a nice whap for me. *wg*

=^..^=__)

Why Don't I have a Boyfriend Like That?

So sad...

But I do have someone who feels the need to text message me daily with, "I miss u"

Kill me now.
