Sticky Surprise

Surprises don’t need to be always grand or extravagant. You can melt someone’s heart even with a simple gift or idea that comes from the heart.

It is a sure fact that people got emotional with just a simple note, what more with a hundred or thousand notes! This is very simple. All you need are sticky papers (preferably different colors and I recommend post-it because it is really sticky, I’m sure you don’t want to ruin your surprise by losing some of your messages), pen (a readable one), and your mushy words.

What should you write? You can choose from these ideas:
• Just write the word “I love you” on all the sticker papers
• Messages or words you really wanted to say
• Compile sweet quotes or messages from the internet
• Your promises (of course that are not meant to be broken)
• Reasons why you love him/her

And post it on the wall. You may create a heart-shape out of those messages or you can just post it all over the wall. Fill the wall with your love notes and let love fill the air.

Hope you enjoyed my versatile gift ideas!

FLOWERS --- They Never Fail

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we'll see again bunch of flower deliveries everywhere. Though,
it is really difficult to understand why girls love flowers. But if you would check Yahoo! Answers, you will see so many reasons. But whatever their reasons are there, there is still one thing that proves to be correct --- that flowers never fail. :)

Now let me list the top five flowers women love to receive. 

1. Roses

They are always on top of the list, because of its beauty and scent. These are the most common flowers men give to their special someone. Men usually give Red Roses to the girl they admire, because it is the easiest way of saying "i love you". While White Roses are usually given to their parents because it signifies purity.

2. Tulips

They are very common nowadays because of its amazing beauty. Tulips beauty is really one of a kind but they don't last very long. Just like Roses, Red Tulips are usually given as a sign of their love to the girl they admire, while White Tulips still means purity. Yellow Roses are also common and I think one of the best Tulips I ever saw. They mean "hopeless love" but are now used as to say "thanks for the friendship" or to say "cheer up".

3. Carnations

Some believes that carnation has a great religious meaning, because they associate it with Mother Mary. While some says it is nationalistic because it is commonly used as a decor by the ancient Greek. But for me, carnation is the "flower of love," because just like love, Carnation has a deeper beauty  that last long (uhmmm i think more than a week without water). Carnation are commonly used to express love and fascination to someone or the easiest way of saying "I admire you."

4. Lilies

Certainly one of the most lovely flowers I ever saw. Other than Lilies being the symbol of purity and everlasting love, they say that when you dreamed of Lilies, it mean you are  hoping for a marriage or a baby. This is mainly because they associate it with Venus, the Roman Goddess of beauty, love, and fertility. That's why Lilies are usually given to brides-to-be and mothers-to-be, because they believe that it is a sign of good luck.

5. Orchids

One of the most popular flowers in the world, because of its elegant beauty and different varieties. This is also known as one of the most pricey flower. And just like its appearance, Orchids, symbolizes love, elegance, and luxury.

Just a friendly reminder:

Whatever flower you give, no matter what the meaning is, and no matter how much it cost, as long as it comes from the heart, it will still not fail you.

Good luck!

You & Me Drawing

I love surprises and I love surprising someone. Today I would like to share one of my simple yet a very sweet surprise. 

Go get a paper and draw a stick girl and a stick boy using crayons. Draw a cute simple one, that would look like a child from kindergarten drew it. Write your names under the stick girl and stick boy and put a heart in the middle or you may also put your names inside a heart instead. 

Put your drawing in a big brown envelop, print a notice and his mailing address on a paper (that would look like that it is a work-related document) and paste it on the brown envelop.

NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION OF:

Mr. Miguel Fernando

7th Floor XYZ Building, Orange St. 

Manila

Then send it to his office via air mail or courier.

Your guy/girl will surely be surprised with this and will surely love such a sweet act.

Hope you enjoyed my versatile gift ideas!
