vday is ME day

It seems not having a 'normal' valentine's with my boyfriend is the story of my life. Hahaha. It's our 4th (how fast time flies!) valentine's already and yet, we're still apart. This time around, he's the one who's in Minnesota. Oh well. I'm kinda used to it already but I don't wanna sulk and mope around. So with him far away and me on 'single' mode, vday is me day!

Since the past week has just been so toxic work-wise (working til 2-3am the entire week!), it's time to pamper myself. I was just set to relax and spend the weekend with my family. So I started my vday weekend by getting a haircut. With summer just around the corner, it's time for a short 'do. I'm due to have my hair done anyway since it has been 6 months since I last had it cut and rebonded.

After about 5 hours (that's why I just do this every 6 months!), my mom and I then headed to the Paseo Mall in Sta. Rosa where I wanted to check out the Debenhams and Marks and Spencer outlet store. It was quite disappointing though coz the stores were so small (it is NOT an outlet!) and had limited choices and sizes. But I was still able to get a cute top from Debenhams for only P500 (originally priced at P1250) and a pair of brown slacks from Marks for only P650 (originally at P1750). I guess it wasn't that bad after all but I won't go back on a regular basis.

We then headed to Town to meet up with my brother and his girlfriend to watch Valentine's Day. The movie was at 5:20 and since we arrived a little early, I still had time to do some shopping. Hehehe. I ended up getting a pair of pink and gold Havaianas wedges. I wanted to look around more but it was time for the movie.

Armed with my fix of Tater's Sour Cream popcorn with butter (this is my must-have movie snack) and a bag of dark and milk chocolate malt balls (which is starting to become another must-have), we settled in our 6th row middle aisle seats (thank you sureseats for reservations!). And I must say that I didn't regret watching this over Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. I absolutely loved it! I initially thought that this might be too mushy and I might end up regretting watching this without my boyfriend. But it turned out to be a really nice, feel good, not too mushy but sweet Valentine flick. Some say all-star cast movies are overrated but not this one! Each one had an interesting storyline but I must say McSteamy's and Mr. Hangover's was the winner! Hahaha. I'd love to see this again!

It was dinner at Pancake House to cap off the night. I had their Rib Eye steak which was surprisingly good at a very reasonable price. The serving's pretty big that I ended up taking half of it home (which was the perfect midnight snack...hehehe).

I finally got home at around 10pm already. It was a pretty fun day. At least I didn't feel so single this weekend... but of course, nothing beats spending Valentine's with him. I just hope that next year we'd be able to finally spend it together :)
