extremely late blog post #7: a pampered valentine’s

february 14, 2009.

selle and i frequently go out on dates. usually we just dine out, watch a movie and walk around the mall. but valentine’s (and other sentimental dates) is different… should be different. the date must deviate from the usual… it must be extra special (not that the others dates are not special… because they all are. 🙂). so when these sentimental dates are nearing, i think hard and plan ahead on how to celebrate the day with my lovely wife.

flashback to december 26 – jc and angel’s wedding. before the start of the reception, we had a quick chat with our favorite caterer – the uber-friendly (and always stylish) kaye. during our chat she mentioned… and invited us to her valentine’s thanksgiving dinner that she was planning. we excitedly agreed. who wouldn’t be? it’s a k by cunanan event! 🙂 then, amidst our excitement, kaye turned to me and kiddingly said, “pero dapat may gift ka sa kanya(selle) ha. libre na dinner nyo eh.” sure thing, kaye. 🙂

valentine’s day arrived and i started off our date by giving selle my valentine’s gift… 😉



rest and relaxation through the pampering of a spa… that’s the gift i came up with. 🙂

the ambiance… the facilities… and, most importantly, the services were top-notch – justifying the spa 6750’s reputation of being one of the best in the metro.




fully relaxed, we proceeded to the blue leaf for our dinner. 🙂

and guess who greeted us at the reception table? no other than kaye herself. 🙂 onting chika and then she ushered us into the dining area – giving us specific instructions, “you can stay as long as you want.”

and the dining area was made up like it was real wedding reception. nakakatuwa. 🙂 at lalong nakakatuwa dahil so many of kaye’s former clients came. it was kaye’s thanksgiving dinner for her former clients but i guess our presence was our way of thanking her as well. 🙂

soon we were joined by jc and angel and we spent the rest of the night enjoying kaye’s food and each other’s company.
