How funny is that? The 2010 Chinese new year is same day as Valentine's day. It might happened before but not in my memories. Mr.B and I had some plans for the Valentine's day, so I had to make sure that I have enough time to call my parents and grandparents. I woke up at 6 a.m. on New Year's Eve (Feb. 13th), called my grandparents first. I think it was the first time that no other people were at their house. They were just by their own. Grandmom told me that they had lunch with 3rd and 4th uncles, and they were just watching TV now.  We didn't talk for too long, then I called my parents in Beijing. They were at my 2nd granduncle's house. I couldn't talk to them for long time 'cause they were having dinner, but they were happy to hear my voice.

Mr.B and I met up at 13th night. He was at my place before I got off from work. I went back, opened the door and saw a doze red, heart shape balloons fluttering up on my bed, a happy new year banner which in Chinese style of yellow background and red words was across my kitchen, a Chinese art style tiger poster was on my kitchen stove. Mr.B sat in front of my computer desk and a doze red rose on my computer desk in front of him. I was so happy to see all those things and to know that he took time for it. I told him that if I saw a red sport car with a doze red heart shape balloon in it on the highway, I will wonder who that lucky girl would be, and now I knew that lucky girl is me. I love the balloons. Never have anyone give me heart shape balloons, I just love them, love them. We went to Wasabi for dinner 'cause I wanted to eat some fish for New Year Eve. It was lucky that they weren't busy. The dinner was great and they gave us free dessert, didn't charge sake and another 10% off. That was very nice of them. It was lucky that I took Sunday off, so we could just take our time to enjoy each other. We went to new movie The Valentine's day which was cute. Movie is just movie. Nothing like that will happen in the real life. Everyone in the movie is great looking with great hair, great clothes, great thing or great that. Real life isn't fun like that at all. Well...movie was cute anyway. I decided to give Mr.B his Valentine's day gifts tonight. He was surprised to get all the gifts and I think he really likes the dark green bathrobe with his name on in sliver. I was happy that he likes it.  

Sunday, the valentine's day and Chinese new year day, was great. Woke up late, ate cute cupcake for lunch, took off to the spa~~!!!! Yeah. The spa was nice. I did enjoy that, and so as Mr.B. We had couples' massage. It was a little bit strange at beginning 'cause I never had a massage with another person in the same room, but it wasn't bad. I did enjoy it.  After that Mr.B got a pedicure and manicure, and I got a manicure. He was so cute when he was having a pedicure done. I was happy to see he was happy. It was around 4 30 when we done with the spa, but we felt a little bit hungry. Since we would go dinner, we decided to just get something small. Dog house was the no.1 choice for us. The chili hot dog was so good, it reminded me the first chili hot dog that I had back in Harrisonburg. Mr.B said our reservation was at 8 pm. I took shower, changed and had make-up done before we went out. Of cause, Mr.B dressed up too. It was very cute to see him try to wear his tie so seriously. Mr.B took me to melting pot~~!! I should have know it~!!! Melting pot was great, I was surprised to see a lot of ladies dressed up. I was worried that I might over dressed, but when I saw all other ladies, I didn't feel I was over dressed anymore. The food was great, and a lot. I was so full. The whole dinner time was great. I had such good time over there. It was my first official Valentine's day dinner~!!! Just a great great time. It was just great. Before we went to bed, I found a red envelop on my bed. It was a Valentine's card from Mr.B. He is so sweet. And there was money inside of it~!! I was socked to see the money and asked him what is the money for. He said it was for Chinese new year 'cause he wanted to be authentic. I laughed because I know I told him the older people will give younger people money for Chinese new year, but maybe I didn't explain well that that there is age range and also depends on what kind of relations that you have with another person. I thanked him but didn't want to keep the money. I actually did want to have a gift from him, not the money. But I know he was trying to do something different and trying to make me happy. I am happy, very happy about that 'cause I felt he was trying, not just doing it for him, but also for me.

I have a good feeling about this year. The first day of 2010 has been so sweet. The whole year will be great. Yes, It was be great.

Ganbate.

Knock on the wood~~!!
