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! ♥

Christmas was so fun! :D

Oh gosh I haven't updated in a while becuz I've been soooo busy with working! I'm sowwee everyone. *tears*

However I had a WONDERFUL Christmas with my family and my boyfriend. There was food, lots of laughter and fun and some really awesome presents, some of which I’d even blogged about on my recent blog post about my wishlist!!

Omg and the food was amazingly EPIC. Ahh everything was so good!! The women in my family really know how to “throw down” so to speak:

Egg nog and homemade cookies decorated by yours truly..made and eaten on Christmas Eve. Our family tradition!♥

Yummy honey-baked ham~~

Oh my gawsh I luurrrrve deviled eggs!! They’re so good!

Mom’s homemade pineapple upside down cake…おいしい!

My look was pretty simple for Christmas this time around…I knew I would eat a ton of food so I wanted to wear something comfortable!  :

 Dress: D.E.B

Shoes: Dots

Had some awesome Christmas nails~~(★^O^★) :

Kinda had to rush through them since I had to head out to work...ugh I wish my nailz would grow back to their long luscious length already!

Make was quite sparkly and glittery for the holidays…wish the camera would show it better!!(/ﾟДﾟ)/ 

Eyes: Chanel Illusion D'ombre Longwear luminous eye shadow in '86 Ebloui'
Face:  Fashion Fair cream foundation + concealer stick in "Pure Brown" 
Lips: Shiseido Maquillage Rouge Enamel Glamour PK386

I got some of the cuuutest presents this year as well All of them things that I wanted for a while!

Panda drew a lovely picture for me:

So sweet..he is an amazing artist. I admire his work so much and I know he will go far with it. I’ve never met anyone with as much talent as him! I will cherish his work forever and always.♥

And he also got me beautiful Pullip Shan-ria!*(*´∀｀*)☆ :

She is so beautiful! I loooooove pullip dolls. I adore them sooo much! * drools * I would buy them so much more often if they weren’t so expensive.

I introduced her to my Hime-gyaru pullip so that they could bond and get to know each other..hehe:

Needless to say I hugged panda a million times for this gift.

My mom got me the Geo Xtra WBS-204 Bella Brown lenses also mentioned on my previous blog post!!

^^they look just like this…they haven’t arrived yet and omg I’m nearly pissing my pants waiting for them to come!! I hope they look really doll-ish on me.

We did secret santa at work as well and my coworker and good friend Ashley gave me an awesome make-up palette AND a Hello Kitty alarm clock/radio!! 

^^It even works as a night light too!! Oh my gosh…totally in love with it. Ashley is such a nice person, I swear! It’s so good to know people like her.

After eating my mom decided to take my nieces and nephews out to see the pretty Christmas lights in downtown Milwaukee so I tagged along as well. Sorry for not being in any of the pictures..it was freeeezing cold outside!! ヽ(●ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ●)ﾉﾟ

^^My niece Angelina was eager to be the model!

I can’t even begin to explain how cold it was out there…I was shivering and I even think I caught a small tickle in my throat because of it. I hate winter! 

Yeah that was my Christmas…it was honestly the perfect day, nothing at all went wrong!! I am so thankful for my family, my boyfriend and all the things I have in my life!

Toodles for now!♥
