Se7en

Today is my 7th year anniversary with my boyfriend/fiancé, PJ. Since I have work and he has a business to take care of, we wanted to just have a quiet time. We wanted to just do the usual dinner and movie date.

We decided to have dinner at my recent favorite Chinese restaurant, Mandarin Tea Garden. My boyfriend is Chinese but doesn't really eat Chinese food but I'm so happy that he liked the food there, plus food is affordable too so double Yay! :)

I know he wanted to somehow watch a movie but I was hesitant and I had desserts instead at Maridel's and we get to talk about things, mostly random things. We took a stroll on Plazuela before going back to the mall.

Our "date" as I will call it went actually pretty well and I can somehow see how we are growing up. However, we chanced upon an almost empty arcade since the mall was 30 minutes away from closing. We both played "Rambo" and I surprisingly enjoyed it! It was a little tiring because the gun was a little too heavy for me. I think he was even surprised that I actually agreed on playing! It was super fun!

I love how random we are together. It's what makes our relationship so interesting and we never get bored with each other! Of course, like normal couples, we have arguments or misunderstandings but we resolve them right away.

Cheers to seven years and to even more! ❤

Here are photos from today.

DOWNTOWN

Today, PJ and I went downtown to look for supplies for my online accessories shop. It was really hot and I loved it. We just parked the car at a mall and made our way to what we call here in Iloilo "downtown", on foot. These days, our couple time is either we're watching a movie, going for a little run/jog or walking the streets of Downtown Iloilo to find supplies for my shop. Unfortunately though, there were no available items of what I specifically need. However, I really enjoy spending my time with him and I love that he's so supportive of what I do. I find it the cutest when we both synchronize our errands, especially bank errands so we could meet at the bank and do other errands while enjoying our time together! :)

Since it was hot during the day, I decided to wear my trusty white breathable blouse and denim shorts. I was actually feeling kind-of lazy so I just put on a nice pair of earrings, a couple of handmade bracelet and watch, wore flats since we walked all day and a mailman bag. :D

My Win Off A Bet

Every NBA Season every year, my boyfriend and I always have bets on who would win the Championship. My boyfriend is a bigtime Laker fan. Me, on the other hand, do not have a specific team that I like so much. My preference depends on which team is playing well during the season or before the playoffs. This time, my bets were on the Chicago Bulls for obvious reasons: D-Rose, #1 on the East and #1 overall. However, as bad luck would have it, they didn't make it to the finals. I had my sights on Dallas Mavericks. Meanwhile, my boyfriend had his eyes on Miami next to the Lakers.

As you all know, the Lakers didn't even make it to the finals. So it was Miami-Dallas, just like in 2006. People called it the rematch, revenge on the Dallas side, and some predicted a repeat from Miami. My boyfriend decided on Miami and I went to bet on Dallas. Our bets before were usually dates (food, movie,etc) and a very rare Havaianas bet (which I won). This time, our bet was a lunch date worth 500 pesos. Hahahaha! My choice was a date in Sbarro and his choice was a lunch date in KFC.

It's actually quite funny if you think about it. Even if one of us wins, we both still get to eat! Hahaha! But this is one thing that we both enjoy. Physically, people will never see me as a sports fan but I really am. I do enjoy watching basketball, soccer/football, volleyball, table tennis, etc. I used to swim and play table tennis and my boyfriend is an all-around sports "enthusiast" and a former varsity player (basketball) hence our excitement every time it's NBA season. :)

Anyway, here are the few photos I snapped!

A Pizzaro Date

Yesterday, I had a date with my boyfriend which was both a spontaneous decision and a planned one. I was hesitant to go at first because of the gloomy weather but we went anyway. We went to Pizzaro, as the name suggests, yes, it's a pizza place. It's also not easily seen. It's sandwiched between a carwash and a spa called Sensbien. It's very quaint and airy since there aren't really walls to block the air.

I've heard of Pizzaro before but never really tried it. My sister, who tried it with her bestfriends, recommended it to us and said that "you'll forget your name after trying their pizza!". So I told my boyfriend we needed to try it. We only ordered Pepperoni pizza and mashed potato since I already ate lunch a few hours before we went to the restaurant. I had red tea for my drink- tasted really good but I got a bit dizzy. Maybe it was the grenadine? I don't know. Hehe!  The food's really worth it-actually it's very cheap! Our bill was less than 500 pesos. I would really recommend trying their Mashed Potato- just the right consistency, a little creamy and not too overpowering when you mix it with butter and milk(?).
