My ultimate spampering day at The Spa

14 Comments

Once in a while, we need to take a halt from our daily grind. We all know that when it comes to our families, mommies will surely strive to provide and nurture our families even if it means sacrificing our own needs. I long forgotten how it feels to have an 8-hour sleep, I consider myself lucky to have 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep because Gwen still wakes up in the early hours of morning to breastfeed. During weekends, instead of sitting in the salon for a mani-pedi or for a hot oil, I’d rather spend it cuddling and playing with my princess. This routine eventually took its toll on my physical appearance. I always look “puyat”. And I always feel a tight knot on my shoulders.

So where’s my Valentine’s day post?

…or should I say anti-Valentines day post?

We don’t spend Valentine’s day. I don’t like receiving flowers. I don’t like couples wearing couple shirts, eeep! I don’t like feeding each other in public. And now that we’re married, I feel awkward being so mushy in public.

I’m sorry to dampen your V-day spirits… it’s just that I’m feeling down lately and all I see from my news feed is all about V-day. Maybe it’s Facebook’s fault too, I think some of those who posted photos and FB status are just following suit to some of their contacts who posted how their Valentine went. If not for Facebook, we won’t know what flowers/chocolates/movie/restaurant/hotel your our contacts went. But I feel sad for those who doesn’t have a special someone with them, I know some who really feels depressed come V-day. And thanks to Facebook for rubbing it in….

Valentine’s Day is like Christmas to some lovers… But like Christmas, let’s make every day of the year feels like Valentine’s,  full of love, love, love!

When was the last time…

Sometimes, couples get too preoccupied with their little bundle of joy. They often forget while nurturing the child with love, they should also feed and keep the magic between the two of them alive. Things like eating out, movie dates, quick coffee, and other simple things that you do when you didn’t have a plus one yet. Yes, just simple things and the wife will be happy, on your anniversary, you don’t have to give her expensive gifts like a semi mount diamond ring, just breakfast in  bed.

When was the last time you just lie down and do nothing? When was the last time you watched a movie on your PC together? When was the last time you prepared breakfast for him/her? When was the last time you bought him/her coffee just because? When was the last time you made him/her kilig? When was the last time you made him/her smile?
