It's Been Three Long Years, Do You Still Love Me?

Last August 19, my boyfriend and I celebrated a milestone in our relationship: it was our three-year anniversary! Sadly, we weren't able to spend it together, but he wanted to at least show to me what he had prepared for me. That night, he posted a sweet message and a couple of photos of his gift on Facebook (we're not usually as cheesy and lovey-dovey in public though, ha ha). And after a few days, I was finally able to see my present and bring it home! It is perhaps the sweetest gift I've ever received.

During one of our car rides going home together, we heard this nice, old-fashioned song playing on the radio. We listened to it together, teary-eyed towards the end because we were so moved by how sweet and beautiful the story of the song was. It was the inspiration for this gift. Thank you, Andre, for all the excruciating pain you endured tying a hundred yellow ribbons 'round the triangulares plant.

Where the Wild Things Are

No doubt the wild things are found outside! And outside is a place I haven't been to lately.. So my boyfriend and I took a little stroll around my neighborhood.

Please welcome the latest addition to me and my boyfriend's army of cutie-pies! Maybe you can recognize him? He is Rilakkuma's chick-friend. It was given to me for our anniversary, tee hee. I love the nostrils. I'm thinking of naming it Chickadee. Or Nostrils, perhaps.

These pictures don't show how cool the sky was. You could see the rays of light so clearly. I also find it so amazing when the sky is somehow is pink, purple, orange and blue at the same time.

I took a couple of pictures from the plants in my garden. I love squishing these tiny, red plump things. It makes such a nice blotch on the ground. As if a tiny tomato exploded, or popping a huge zit. Or something.

My boyfriend and I also met Abet, the cute Pomeranian! The person walking him told us he was owned by foreigners, and that he gets to stay in an air-conditioned room. What a pampered dog.

So that is the end of our wonderful day in the wilderness. Wilderness being any place that is not my room or a mall and has some, you know. Wild stuff. I hope you all had a great day yourselves!

On a less positive note, I recently got into a car accident. It was my first one. No one was injured, thankfully, however the gravity of it all has inflicted much stress on me. I can't sleep at night. Damn the driver that hit my car. DAMN HIM.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Or if you're not into the whole superficial, couples-only day, then happy Single Awareness Day! Personally, I do think that Valentine's day isn't as meaningful as some make it out to be. But nevertheless, I spent last night preparing a gift for my servant-boy.

I'm honestly so crappy, I bought his gift only yesterday. While my boyfriend was there. In the store. A few feet away.

I told him to stay put whilst I hid the gift behind me and scurried off to the cashier. It's the thought that counts, right?

What is that mug doing behind the vase??

Earlier in the day, one of my friends told me that she didn't think that Valentine's day was all that special for her and her boyfriend; for them, it was just like any other day when they went out on a date. But I personally disagree. It's not everyday that my boyfriend buys me a rose. And it doesn't matter that it was a last-minute thing (just like my gift was). I would have kicked him if he didn't get me a flower.

Thank you Ander.

Army of Cutie Pies

My boyfriend has a giant sack (garbage bag-sized, oh wait, it is a garbage bag. But it's clean, of course.) of Beanie Babies and other miscellaneous stuffed critters. Seriously, he must have more than fifty. Beats my childhood Barbie collection by far! It's quite fun playing around with these fellows, so amusing. Pusheen enjoys having his/her (undecided) photo taken.

Just got back from Hong Kong last midnight.   \o/

Pusheen, Pusheen to the Limit, Limit

Once again, I have neglected my blog due to a lot of crap I have to do for school. Sigh, it's actually already the start of my semestral break, and by that I mean all my class have ended. However, finals happen during the start of the break, so I have to spend practically half of my break studying for tests, and taking them, fretting about failing and doing really badly in all my classes.

On another note, le boyfriend finally gave me his late anniversary gifts! I'm so happy (thank you Ander ;__;), especially with Pusheen, the fat cat plushie~ I believe it's a fair exchange for the three Totoros. He also got me the earrings shown on the photos (right beside my pimples). These photos were taken at the mall. The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf was having an event with the release of their new espresso machine. It's so cute! I wish I could get one, though I am not willing to spend fourteen thousand bucks on it. Oh well, more green tea lattes it is!

P.S. The title of the post is a reference to that High School Musical song with the basketball players and the pushing to the limit, you know?
P.P.S. First post on my new(?) blog!
P.P.S.S. Can you tell why my blog name is now The Red Beret Girl?

A Day with Totoro and Andre

Hello world, I have entered the realm of the internet to show-off my really nifty gift of luuurve to my boyfriend. AREN'T YOU JELLY??

Because I am.

I gave these cute Totoro's to my boyfriend and he won't even let me borrow them!! (I could only take pictures of them at his house..) But that's ok, I guess. I'll be getting my gift soon too, right Andre?

Until we meet again, Totoros...!

P.S. I'd like to thank Andre for being my man muse, even if just for a second or two.

The Life

For some reason, my shoulders always ache when I carry any bag. Even though the only things in it are my wallets and cellphone. Sigh, I am such a delicate flower (ha ha!), but thankfully I've got my manly boyfriend-slave. Just look at his neck and shoulders, they're so handsome, seriously. Anyway, this is what we like to do, spend moola time together and chill.
