Valentine's Day Treats! *(*´∀｀*)☆

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? 

Well today there was yet ANOTHER snow storm here in Milwaukee.  -__- This time there seemed to be more snow than the last storm, because when I went outside it went up to my ankles.

So pretty, but so cold! 

I like the snow, but once again I chose a day like this to update my blog and tell you about all the yummy things I've eaten lately!

As you all know, Valentine's Day day arrived! ღ*~ ღThis holiday makes me think of sweets, pink, hearts and love...four things that I love so much! 

Although me and Panda had to work on Valentine's Day   we enjoyed it by celebrating it the night before at home!  We enjoyed it by having a beautiful romantic dinner made by yours truly.

For my #2 dish of yumminess for the month of February, I made heart-shaped chicken pot pie with rice pilaf and served it with pink moscato.

I was so happy the heart shape turned out nice! (Besides the bottom lol)

Later we added heart-shaped ice cubes to the moscato.

I used my older sister's recipe for the pot-pie, and Panda loved it! I'm planning on making it again soon...it's just that good.

Now onto gifts!

Panda got me a giant teddy bear and a chocolate box!
He brought the humongous bear up to my job and gave it to me in front of everyone. That made my heart really melt. Panda and I don't really get to spend much time together because of our jobs, but when we do we always make it count.♥

For week #3 of my February baking I was supposed to make an all natural strawberry milkshake and a pink lady cake, but unfortunately I got the flu! Every since then I've been super busy, so I am going to try and make the cake this weekend.

Thankfully I did end up making the strawberry shake for Panda and I!

I borrowed this recipe since it used real strawberries and not strawberry flavor.

They were really really good! 

In the next coming weeks I will finish up my Valentine's day treats which include Pink Lady Cake, Heart Shaped Whoopie Pies and Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Yum! 

Besides all of the Love-themed cooking I've been doing, I've also sampled other love themed treats as well all throughout the month of February!

I kind of went crazy and tried almost everything I saw, lol 

A delicious box of chocolate that I treated myself to from my job.
Oh was it yummy!♥ And the packaging was gorgeous:

Bought heart-shaped rice crispies:

Heart marshmallows and Pink/Red candy and candy dishes:

(not sure why it's upside down lol)

Heart shaped doughnut:

Yeah...I was disappointed when I found out it wasn't filled! 
But I should stop eating these things anyway, lol.


Last but not least I want to show you some of my buys from the last couple of weeks!

Got the cutest love shojo keychain from Starlight Deco Dream!: 

Rilakkuma pill cases:

Cute shoes (kinda Hime style):



Spilled coffee on my stockings :'(

My Melody wastebasket:

My Melody calendar:

And I also have new hair!

I adore the gradient colors!

Well my dears that's about it for this post. See you all soon and thanks for reading!! ♥

My panda bear and I~♥

WARNING: This is a very mushy gushy lovey dovey post, in celebration of Valentine's day. So if you don't like that stuff...you are really going to hate this! haha :p

-----------------------------------------

Valentine's day is here! And I get to celebrate for the second year in a row!! 

Something that I thought would never ever happen to someone like me.

I used to be a true "Ugly Betty" back in middle school and part of high school, lol. I was just sure I'd never ever find anyone who wanted to be with me or could even love me.

But then my panda came along and changed all that!♥

Gifts I got from my babe: pink monkey plushie, sweet card, yummy chocolate, cool picture frame and a beautiful red rose. And he even treated me out to a movie too! d=(´▽｀)=b

I love the cute little pink monkey plushie...I fall asleep holding it close to me every single night.♥

Now that I'm with someone I love, it's like I see love everywhere. haha 

Heart shaped celery that I found in my soup the other day ｡◕‿◕｡

Coconut cupcakes that spell out "LOVE"! :3

 Heart shaped cookies I made at work..these were incredibly yummy!

The story of how my boyfriend and I met is so crazy, almost like out of a movie. To this day it's still kinda hard to believe.

We were both introduced to one another via this website. 

(An asian website, but somehow we both found each other instead of asian folks! haha)
Anyhoo, we introduced ourselves to each other on that site. At that time I had no clue what he looked like, because he had a character from Naruto as his avatar. :p

Then we'd both gravitated to facebook. We'd messaged one another from time to time, but nothing more. I found out that he was actually the same race as I was, which was surprising considering the original site we met on was mainly asians of course. xD

Then one day he passed by me in his car as I stood on the bus stop near my house, preparing to go to work.
I hadn't known he'd passed me until I got home and he'd sent a message on facebook saying, "I saw a girl earlier who looked just like you. Weird."
One thing led to another and we ended up exchanging numbers and then meeting in person! :D

We both hit it off very well instantly, and attraction grew quickly!
We'd spend hours and hours out on our dates usually.
We even spent the entire day with each other on one of our dates..twelve full hours. That was the longest I'd ever spent hanging out with anyone. It was truly amazing, and the most fun I'd had in a really long time.
At the end of that night, he kissed me. ♥

Turns out that he had been living only 10 minutes away from me for the past 6 years, and his job was right around the corner from my house...and the bus stop that I'd stood at for the past two years.
(Yes, I am super car-less. haha)
Yet our paths had never crossed until that glorious day.♥

Both of us suffered a lot emotionally before meeting one another, but every since we've been together we've been so much happier. We've been through a lot together already, which lets me know that he'll always be here for me, as I will with him.
Our relationship has been a reminder to me that good things in life will come, in their due time. ^_~

WTF I look like a such a man here....щ(゜ロ゜щ)

I can't believe we've lasted a year and almost 3 months already...I've never met anyone like him before. He's my best friend and he means the world to me. The first and only guy I've ever fallen in love with! I'm so happy that we've come this far...and I hope to go even further. ヽ(○´∀`)ﾉ♪

Huge teddy bear that he bought me one time..I named him Mr. Rudero. :D

My love sleeping so peacefully♥

I am happy that I don't have to be forever alone and bitter on V-day anymore...or any day, for that matter..because I finally have someone to share life with. At last! ♥
