• Son's heartbreak and my "DAY of LOVE"

  

  So yes we all know yesterday was V-Day (Valentine's Day , a supposed day of love or to many a day of heart break). 

  My son, my little 6 year old boy had been infatuated with this little girl Amanda in his Kindergarten class.

  

  For weeks he had been talking about her and how "beautiful" she was and how much he liked her and wanted to write her a little note that said "I love Amanda".

  It was so cute seeing him happy and smile about this little girl. To think it all started with a little hug the little girl gave him and it won him over. Of course, I knew that they babies (practically). I'm sure she's clueless and he over analyzed that hug which meant she liked him as a friend to, whoa I liked this. I don't know how boys hormones work but I thought I didn't' have to worry about this so young. He wanted to give her all these gifts and he'd been planning and this thoughts went on and on. So cute!! So I went out and bought a few little things for very reasonable price and made her a V-day gift from him and he was so excited to give it to her. He'd been talking about giving her something for a couple of weeks. 

  

  This was the little gift I set up for her and wrapped it in clear wrap. He was so excited when he woke up, we were actually early to school. 

  (There is a story in between but I'll write that one later...  to not get off on tangents) So When I got home I excitedly asked him if he gave the gift to her and he said yes. And I asked if she liked it and he said yes. And so then he said that she doesn't like him. she likes this boy named Jesse... and that he took her to the Library and he over heard stuff. I gave him a hug and asked if he was ok. He said. he didn't care, it was fine. He was on a sugar high... jumping all over the place...

  Fast forward to this morning. For nothing, he wanted to get up for school. He said school was stupid and he didn't want to go. He would keep covering himself in his blankets and trying to school. the sugar high was gone and he had no motivation to go to school. He said Valentine's day was stupid and yea... What a way to start as a 6 year old. But, I'm going to do my best not think that everything is stupid and not lose his gentlemanly ways.  My poor baby!! I gave him a hug and talked to him until I convinced him to go to school. He went. It was sad seeing his like that. 

   

  On the other hand my Valentine's day was interesting... I texted J and he would respond but unlike most time he wasn't really into a conversation mood. Yes, I know he's a thoughtful guy and even though it's just Valentine's day it was weird he hadn't said anything. I don't care about gifts but I wanted to see him regardless... For me just sitting in starbucks is good enough for me. 

  I took my own innitiative because I'm a forgetful person and now have changed my work days to tuesdays and I was down the hill so I figured I was closer to him and it would be easier for me to move. (Something wasn't counting on ... HA!!! In your face for not talking to me ) I text him a "Hi" and he replied with the same so I decided to cut the chase and just ask him to meet me in Starbucks for a drink. I didn't know if he was busy or not but I wanted to give him a little something and it would be ok with me if it was short time.  He asks what time... his texts were weird and distant... My mind was racing ... I was thinking a lot and nothing at the same time. 

  But, he met me there. I usually go into the starbucks and wait but I didn't want to. I saw him get there and park. As he walks in I take off my seat belt and slowly get out of the car. He had something in his hand. He comes out as I start walking to the place... he laughs and calls me a "brat" ... well yes, yes I am .... He tries to give me his gift but I just wanted a hug. I missed him. Then I received what he had. It was a little boxed with a pinktiger  stripes, very cute!! When he gave it to me... I said, "Oh was I suppose to get you something?" He of course said no... lol 

  

  We went inside and I kept looking at him as I read it... he wrote it  and made it. So he asked me to put it up higher so it would block him my from eye sight ... good thing he did because it was so sweet my eyes were filling up were tears... And then he said he was kidding and puts it down... I couldn't' help but try and refrain from tearing but I couldn't help it. I told him I wasn't but DUH  it was too sweet not to. And then he told me what he had really planned.... He's full of surprises!! 

  So he asked when traffic would die down... we were in starbucks for a while and just headed to my home. 

  We headed out and I went to my car to put the little frame inside and I got a card I got for him... then I opened my trunk... I couldn't get him anything... I'm broke, I'm sorry. Whatever, right?! So I gave him my pinktiger well I wrapped it in clear wrapped and other stuff. He has my pinktiger (you better take good care of her. I've had her for like 8 years) 

  

  it's nothing to what he had planned when we got home... oh and keep you head out of the gutter!! 

  He had Dinner planned... he's such an amazing guy, so talented and surpasses anyone I've ever met in the kitchen. I'm the luckiest girl alive and there is no man that compares to him!! NO one!! Trust!! My friends like my cooking and my sibs always expect me to and I've met this man who has skills. I'm truly impressed more and more... he's a dream come true not because of his skills but he has all the great qualities. He has a kind heart, he's patience, loving, funny, he's everything If I ever had a list he's my 10! 

  He made a delicious dinner. My parents, Johnson @Cucumber_Melonhead and I ate. So peaceful. My mom gave a prayer to bless the food etc ... 

  Guess what he made...

  oh and P.S. ha as if I was writing a letter... I had the best weekend ever... 

  It was JC's brother's birthday so we went to a dinner (OMG  the price @ Gyu Kaku... it was amazing food, though. ) but I met his brother and a few of their friends... People can sure eat and drink. His brother got very drunk though, it was a birthday celebration Happy 30th . I met his parents briefly that night and got to talk to his mother more in the morning. She's a nice lady. I think she liked me. She was talking to me about him. She's so sweet. I'm so glad I got to meet her. I was very worried but I feel so much better now. She saw his screen saver with pics of JC, Danny and myself. She said my son was cute which was nice. 

  Sunday we went to Mass in the San Gabriel mission and then to his friends' engagement party. I got to meet more of his friends, his bff and other close friends and I got to try Korean food. Yummy!! I really need to try more cultured food. Once we have time we're going to go eat authentic Chinese food with his parents. My mouth hasn't had such and orgy of foods in it's entire life. I love it. Life is amazing and going well.

  I love you, Johnson!!!
