My late Valentines Day post

He gave me my first ever bonggang valentines day. (Thanks beb!) It was awesome. I've been so lazy at updating my blog but this is something that I'll have to write about. The friday before Vday, I was telling him how I felt about him not buying me flowers, ever! He was just quiet and nodded and I stopped bugging him about it. When we woke up the next day, we decided to cook a special lunch of steak and potatoes (i know, heavy, right? but still good!). While we were in the kitchen, someone knocked on the door and I was wondering who could it be (we don't get a lot of visitors, you see). When I opened the door, there was a huuuge box waiting for me by the door. I knew instantly that he will have a smug look on his face as soon as I turned around to see him. The box had a dozen and a half roses and he had my heart. I teared up. I almost cried and all I could say was, "stupid, why did you do this?". It was overwhelming and he was so happy to see that I was surprised. He rarely gets the chance to surprise me and when he does, he goes all out. :)

So that afternoon, we headed over to his place in DC. We dressed up and got ready for our big dinner at Oya, in Penn Quarter. When we got there, I tried to stop myself from gushing. The lights were turned down low, the walls were see-through and had fireplaces in between them so there was a romantic glow to the whole restaurant. Once seated, we looked at the menu and did not know that they had a fixed menu for the night. Ooops. I looked at the list of the food served that night and then I got to the price. Dang, It was $95 per person and it doesn't include tax and tip. I asked him if he was sure about it and I was ready to get the heck out of there. He said for me not to worry and to just enjoy the night.

I love him. :)

He ordered a glass of wine for me and took charge of everything. I like it when he does that :D So the food came course after course. We both had the mostly the same things except for the entree. We had raw tuna for starters, then duck confit crepes, sorbet to cleanse the palate (naks) and red velvet cake for dessert. His entree was the lobster and mine was the (what else!) steak.

It was so romantic. We talked about us and about the past year and how it was to be with each other and how annoying we were at times to each other. I had a lot of fun.

We walked from Penn Quarter to Scott Circle and enjoyed the pretty warm weather considering it was still winter that time.
