It seems that many people have been asking me about some Valentine's Day gimmiks.

Am I a love guro? hahahha it's really weird! Probably because I'm known for my creative ideas that's why people usually seek my advice. I've decided to write it as early as now so you may plan way ahead!

It feels a little awkward because I myself don't really have someone to share this special day with but I do wish I'd get invited by someone though.

Honestly speaking, V-day isn't really that big for me coz showing your love to someone doesn't really need a special day.. you can do it at any day as often as you please. But anyway, ok ok due to insistent public demand, I've listed down some of my simple and practical ideas for V-day!

1. Manila Bay Sunset Cruise
    - I must say, I've been dying to experience this for years but no one has invited me yet.
      A romantic dinner, sunset bay cruise and serenade for only 550php per head is a sure
      nice way to show love to your partner. Better book early! http://www.corregidorphilippines.com/mbc.html

2. Your very own  Photo shoot
    - Invite your favorite photographer to shoot pictures of you. With the rise of hobbyists all over the country, I'm sure you can find someone whom can capture and immortalize those precious moments. If you don't know any... ehem ehem... I can always offer you my services! *wink* wink* www.majicanimayo.blogspot.com

3. Kiss him/her in the morning a soon as he/she wakes up and eat breakfast in bed!
    - I find this gesture very sweet. I believe it'll be much more sweet if you cook breakfast yourself. It doesn't really need to be fancy. It may some pancakes, fruits, cereal, bacon and eggs or even the classic silogs would be perfect!


4. A handwritten Love letter.
   - I believe in effort! I believe that handwritten letters are very very personal and nothing beats any gesture or gift with a personal touch for it makes the person feel very special. Feel free to be very creative with your letter! Just make sure that everything you write there is true ok? And please try not to copy from the internet.


5. Bake some Valentine Cookies!
   - These are really cute! Cookies are also very easy to make and you can be very creative with your designs. If you don't know how to bake, try visiting ArtCakes at your nearest SM Malls and take a look at their cookies and cakes!

6. Stay home and simply spend the day together!
    - Hotels and restos will surely be fully booked  during this day and when both of you have nowhere to go, I believe spending it at your own home would be best! You can do lots of activities at home like cooking a special dinner. Buy a nice bottle of wine and some chocolates to kick it up a notch! It also won't hurt to grab some blooms for her! Romantic movies are lame so I suggest watch a really hilarious film to catch some good vibes!

7. Romantic Dinner at Bellini's!

patiently waiting for the one =)

    - I believe that this is a romantic place to dine! Nuf said!  Try a glass of their sweet red wine, pizza, pasta and antipastos!It's located at the Cubao Expo.

If you noticed, I didn't suggest any getaways or expensive tours... I guess I just wanna prove that you don't need to spend a fortune just to show someone how special they are.

Also my friends, V-day isn't about giving expensive stuff. If you can afford it, why not? Go book yourself a room with a very own jacuzzi inside. You may find one in Laguna for sure!! There are many resorts there! Or you may both get a couple's massage at your favorite spa like the Nurture SPA in Tagaytay

Whatever you may decide to do, enjoy it! Cherish it! Takes pictures!

No matter how extravagant or practical the celebration is... it all boils down to the 2 of you!
Just have a damn great time! As long as both of you are together..... any place will be perfect! *sigh*

For me, I dunno... I don't really have any concrete plans yet.But if you were to ask me, I'd definitely prepare a nice dinner for 2 and spend the night just talking while holding hands... and wait until I fall asleep in his arms! Beat that!  AWWWWWW somebody stop me!


Also, do yourselves a favor and please DO NOT quarrel on this day ok?

Hope you liked me suggestions and please feel free to add more ideas which you have in mind!

A Place Conducive For Romance....

Tweet

You've made a wise decision my friend!! Thank you for visiting my blog! You're doing yourself a really big favor!!! Lay down your woes for a while for it's time for us to fall in-love once again.....

Giggles, starry eyes, blushes, pounding hearts and more giggles... these are what my buddy Badeth and I felt all throughout our Bellini's experience! We weren't prepared for it actually.. but it turned out to be a real treat! Never thought 2 single gals like us would totally feel in-love once again.. Not with eachother ofcourse (we're no lesbos! eeww!!) We instantly felt the love vibe immediately after entering the place. The interiors, furniture, wines, aromas that filled the whole area, the music that'll surely put you in the mood! The feeling was soo magical!! To be in-love is really a wonderful feeling!

AAAhhhhh nothing beats the feeling of falling in-love!! The sweet smiles, the glances, butterflies in your guts, the sleepless nights, the thrill of the 1st kiss, how time flies when you talk, the feeling like your soul just wants to come out of your body and unite with that someone, you don't even need to say words for actions says it all..the feeling as his hands would touch yours... I could go on and on....an indescribable feeling! I just love everything about it!! How magical it is indeed when 2 people start feeling adoration for each other...
I believe it's a gift that should be enjoyed, embraced and cherished! Yiheeee!!! Rape! Rape!! hahahah

While waiting for that lucky guy, I keep myself busy these days by just being myself, taking lots of pictures and having fun! Last weekend, I invited my buddy Badeth (Frank's niece) to Cubao Expo for some drinks at Mogwai's. Upon arrival, we noticed that all seats in all bars were taken, leaving us with no other choice...ok ok for the record, I've been really wanting to visit Bellini's for years now, but my timing was always not a good one. This time, it was just perfect! We immediately went in and boy were we mesmerized by the romantic ambiance!We were like transported to Venice with our amores serenading us! hahahahah

It was just love at first sight! I immediately picked a really fancy table near the antipastos ( so I can easily take snapshots!) The waiters were so accommodating! After ordering, I quickly took Maggie (my camera) out of the bag and started taking photos like there was no tomorrow! It made me miss my photography buddy Angkel (uncle) Frank. I'm sure he'd also love this place as well. The interiors were awesome with a mixture of wines, glasses, paparazzi photos and artworks surrounding the area, the lighting so perfect, the aromas very enticing, the music kept you in the mood. In short.. the perfect place conducive for romance.. Love was definitely in the air!

The food was as magnificent as the whole place! I'm at awe! I'm just sooo excited to show you our pics so here they are....

 As you can see, Badeth and I couldn't get over that feeling of excitement.. like tourists visiting an exotic place for the first time! hahaha

Now let's get down to business ... the most fun part! Let's check out the food!
Too bad we already had a heavy meal before this visit. As I said earlier, this trip was unexpected. But what the heck!? There will always be room for some good food! Who cares about dieting anyway? hahahaha

"10 Quattro Formaggio (4 Cheese Pizza) 250php-
Recommended for all you cheese addicts like me!
I'm a big fan of thin crust pizzas so no wonder I'm gonna

give it 2 Thumbs Up! Take it up a notch by drizzling some Chili Oil on it!!
It gave it a really nice kick!! Thinking about it makes me wanna drool! Waaaahhhhh

Antipastos 350php - These appetizers look really
tempting! Perfect with some Foccacia (Italian bread with herbs). You get to have a bit of everything at this price though I think it's costly. It's worth a try! Treat yourself once in a while!

Sweet Wine (80php per glass) - Wahhh what can I say? just looking at it makes me wanna rape someone! hahaha!
I've always been fascinated with wines! I guess the reason why I love the French and Italians so much is because they remind me on how abundant and beautiful life is…The serving was pretty big! Feel the "heat" after a few sips! Worth every peso! Definitely a must try!!

Look closely as Bedeth enjoys her sweet wine experience...... She was never the same afterwards... bitten by the Love Bug perhaps! Naks!

Just before dessert, I tried to recall some Italian phrases I learned way back in college.. surprisingly, the waiter was actually very fluent in Italian! We were really dazzled! Badeth instantly blushed! hehehe
His name is Randy by the way!
We were also fortunate to meet the man behind everything! The owner himself.. Senior Roberto Bellini! He asked me about Italian Operas etc! I surely had a mental block that time! Good thing he could speak English well! Before becoming a restaurateur, he was a Paparazzi... wow! Amazing! A real paparazzi right in front of me!! Some of his photos are displayed on the wall!!! Cool!!!!

Orange Cake (130php) - Warm, filling, sweet and tangy.. I love every bite of it! And because I can't find the words to fully describe it, I believe it's better to show you my facial expressions while enjoying this heavenly treat.....

Before....

.... After! Nuff said!

The perfect spot to express vows of love!!!! Tip to all guys..... No girl could ever say no to any proposal if you take her to this place!!! Simply perfect!!!! I myself would like to experience this one day! Why not?

Allow me to be a little cheesy for a while.....

Here's a picture of me while dreaming of meeting Mr. Right!

I'm certain that it would be such a memorable day!

This moment is definitely worth the wait!

To all interested guys out there.. send me your resumes ASAP!!

ahahahaha I guarantee that the experience would be mind blowing!!! hahahaha

A sweet experience deserves a sweet ending! La Dolce Vita! Life is truly sweet!!!! May we all live life to the fullest and strive to always seek happiness in every endeavor! Perhaps one of the main reasons on why I never tire of looking for nice places and doing what I enjoy is because it's part of my journey to bliss... and I want to share it to the whole world for I want YOU to be happy as well! Living on Earth is Heaven enough for me!

I hope you enjoyed this week's entry like I did! Ciao!!!
