Mommy Diary

Yes, you’re not lost. This is my date.

Valentine’s day is right around the corner. I know some of you don’t have dates and will spend the day alone which makes me glad I’m already beyond that stage and got myself a man.  ha! I’m so lucky I don’t need to find a date at the last minute or go through a horrid Valentine’s day date with a total stranger just because he’s the only one available.  I’m so lucky I found a good-hearted, responsible partner who loves me for who I am.

Unfortunately, being married for five years I found out that finding the perfect partner for life doesn’t equate to a hot, romantic date every year on Valentine’s. Those stuff I saw at movies are only stuff made for movies.    For a mommy like me it’s just another day at home where you act as if nothing special is going on. Or it’s just the climax in your week long wait for the V day hoping and praying that all the clues and hints you’ve thrown your husband’s way have gotten through one way or another only to find out in the end that you’re husband was just heartless and insensitive dense – I’m talking about your husband, mine’s just overworked.

So in time for Valentine’s day I’m celebrating it by bringing out my list of Top 5 Cheesiest/Romantic (there’s no difference I’ll take anything at this stage) Movie Scenes You Can Watch on Valentine’s Day.  I’m sharing this to all the wives and the single ladies out there – yes, both are lumped together – who needs to satisfy their V-day cravings.

5.Say Anything
The scene is only 20 seconds long but has been copied over and over. Just head over at You Tube and type “Say Anything Boombox” and you’ll know what I mean.

4. Love Actually
Again, wordless but as they say, actions speak louder than words. Click here to see the Love Actually romantic scene that would surely melt your heart. Brought things to my eyes. *sniff

3. Ten Things I Hate About You

I watched this in High School and I remember I was full of fantasies during that stage in my life and yes, that includes someone professing his love to me like this for all the world to see.

2. The Wedding Singer

Who can forget about this one?! The song became a hit after watching Adam Sandler performed this and Drew Barrymore’s reaction is just perfect. I hope I’ll be that beautiful when my husband finally serenades me.

1. The Notebook

The Notebook is absolutely the most romantic movie I’ve ever watched ever and it’s full of hot romantic kisses throughout the movie. Forgive me but this last video is not a movie scene but a reenaction of the kisses live onstage by the lead actors, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. Enjoy!

P.S.
The videos worked. I showed it to my husband two days ago and then a few minutes later he asked me what day was Valentine’s. I told him it was a Sunday and he kept quiet. I thought that was the end of it but yesterday he said we’re going on a date on Monday instead to avoid the traffic rush. He said we’re going to a bar and then somewhere private afterwards. I wonder if he was really serious. LOL!
