Valentine's Day

I had an amazing Valentine's Day. Romance was in the air all day.

First, I had a Valentine special for my class. We spent the last hour doing activities all related to dating. We started off with speed dating, which they had a ball doing.  Some of the girls pretended to be boys.  One of the boys pretended to be a girl.  Hilarity ensued.  Next, they created Match.com profiles with questions such as "What are you looking for in a mate?"  I re-distributed these profiles, and they went on dates with the people they got.  Then we ended class with the Dating Guru Talk Show where each student played a dating expert giving advice to someone with a dating/relationship problem.  It was so much fun!  My students really got into it, and it maximized their speaking and creativity.  It was just great.

After my class, I had to observe one of the other teachers to get teaching ideas since I'm still new.  While I was in the classroom, the door opened to my right, and guess who I saw?  Fortune Cookie!  He had traveled for an hour on a Sunday morning to come and personally deliver a red rose and 2 boxes of chocolate!  Oh my gosh, I was so surprised!  He is soooo sweet!  :)

After my observation, we went out and had lunch in central Bangkok.  Then we went shopping.  I found this great store that sells department store makeup samples for super cheap!  I was in heaven!  I bought 7 products (Clinique eye cream, Estee Lauder eye makeup remover, Lancome and Clinique mascara, Lancome and Clinique eye shadow sets, Estee Lauder lip gloss) for only $40!  We also bought some DVDs.  I bought 3 movies I had been dying to see (Nine, Bright Star, An Education) and the 1st (incomplete) season of Vampire Diaries.

Next, we headed out to Starbucks to cool ourselves down with some drinks.  Then we went to see Wolfman at this beautiful movie theatre which only charges $3.  Wolfman wasn't good, but seeing a movie in such a romantic theatre was great.  :)

After that, Fortune Cookie accompanied me to go window shopping for bags.  Poor thing.  Lol.  Then we had dinner at a great Italian restaurant with a view of the city.

When we came home, I opened my inbox to check my e-mail, and what do I see?  The sweetest, most beautiful poem written by him.  He wrote it under the comments of my previous blog entry.  I was speechless.  It was so beautiful. *sigh* I don't mean to be cheesy, but I just can't help but gush over him.  He's so wonderful.  :)

Finally, we capped off the evening with another movie in our apartment.  We watched Bad Lieutenant which he had been begging for me to watch with him for the longest time.  Yeah, not my kinda movie. Lol.

Overall, the funnest, most amazing Valentine's Day for me.  I hope you enjoyed it too!  :)
