First Hearts Day as Hubby & Wifey

Xtian is not the lovey dovey type. We are not a lovey dovey couple I may say. Valentine's Day was never a big deal for us. The only time we formally celebrated it was last year. We got some tickets for a formal dinner at Pearl Garden Hotel. There was actually a reason behind that dinner and that is to try the food at the hotel since we were planning to book it as our reception venue. It was also the time that we had an ocular of the event hall that they have. So V-day 2011.. we had lunch at Berjaya Hotel... Don't be fooled that it is something fancy. It was a free lunch actually care of Arleen, our account executive for the reception. She apparently transferred hotels and landed a job in Berjaya. She invited us for a free lunch and we saw hearts day as a good day to go!

We were expecting a plated lunch but lo and behold it was a buffet. It had the usually Filipino dishes since the hotel serves a Filipino buffet lunch from Mondays to Fridays. It was not bad at all. The kare-kare was good... The rellenong bangus was great but what we love was the pancit! Winner ito! Hubby cannot stop raving about it! There was a halo halo station and off the track pasta station but I was too full to try it. It was good to know that others can try the buffet for only 350 pesos. Not bad for the selection of food that they offer. After lunch, we went to the reception area to pay our reservation for the valentine promo that they have for the month of February. More on that one on my other blog.

Since we finished just after 1 pm, we decided to check out Rockwell. I just went around Fully Booked to browse through their selection of paper crafting books. Too bad they don't have any of the titles that I was looking for. We decided to head off to Eastwood and just wait for our respective shifts to start. We ended up watching Black Swan to kill the time. May I say it is a very very very good movie. Xtian is not a fan of movies like this but he liked it in the end. Hehehe... I hope it was not the *toot* scene!

That's how our hearts day went. It is our first as hubby and wifey and I just wish that he will do the planning next year but then I like it this way that every thing was unplanned and just spruce of the moment thing!
