It's the time of the year

where you have an amazing excuse to dress up and be cheesy! :p

 Celebrated V-day my family (yeah, it's kinda a compulsory date so if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, just tag him/her along or make your own pre/post valentine date :p) J and I already had our "couple date" last Sunday and Monday so he wasn't in any of the pictures that I'll be sharing. Although I really can't help but make him something for the day itself (Coz I am sweet and crazy like that :p)

Got the idea from: http://itsacraftylife.blogspot.com/2011/01/valentines-love.html . I love personalized gifts. :) I made some personal touches and grabbed all the craft materials that I have in my classroom hahaha.

Here is the final product ( I included some of the ten pages. The others are too cheesy, even I cringed when I read it. haha)

Made the cover using a folder cut in 5 by 7 inches. For added dimension, I attached the words and decoration using foam tape

I binder the pictures together using a red string as fastener

printed 4x6 pictures in glossy paper and attached circular number/heart cut-outs using foam tape. I used  my own handwriting on the "reasons" because it adds more drama at the same cost efficient since I will not be printing anymore

So there, I think J liked it (based from his facial expression) hehe. 

Inspired by my little project, I decided to work around a black and red theme for the day. This is what I wore during our family dinner.

dress: thrifted

bangles: Random brand

earrings: landmark

shoes: PRP

We celebrated at Abe Restaurant in Trinoma. It is a serene place located at the 3rd floor dining zone of the mall. Prices are a bit steep but their Filipino food is great. We ordered crickets to make the experience a litthe bit different (It tastes weird at first but A-ok after). Had dessert at DQ and ended the day with a smile on our faces knowing that we have each other's love no matter what. :)

Fooooodddd
