  1. Valentine’s Day Gift For A Music Lover

    January 30, 2012 by barbara

    Valentine Day’s falls on February, 14th which is only 2 weeks away.  Have you gotten a gift for your loved one? I still remember what my good friend gave her spouse last Valentine’s Day.  Her spouse is a music lover and she got her something very unique and personal.  She created a romantic playlist and uploaded it into his Ipod.  The songs featured in the list include songs that were played during their first dance and their wedding dance.  How romantic huh?    This year, she told me that she would like to do more for her music-lover spouse.  In order to let his creative spirit loose and make his own music, she is going to get him a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. He has been eyeing it for quite some time now.  Isn’t that something special?  So if you are on the lookout for some ideas to help you get that music lover the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, try to do what my friend did.

    The Chinese New Year is just days away.  There is so much to do at home.  I have only put up the lanterns and bought the pussy willow plant.  I have yet to get ready the red packets, spring clean the house, help a friend to look for ph meters, ironing and etc.  I hope to get everything done by Saturday.  One of the things I want to do is to decorate my basket with mandarin oranges, something like the photo below.  Nice?  Are you all ready to usher in the Year of the Dragon?
