we don't celebrate valentine's. or so we say. somehow both my valentine's with jope have been unforgettable.

for valentine's last year, he gave me his first ever love letter. some couples get and give letters all the time but we don't. we've been together seven months then and that was the first letter that he gave me. i found it very sweet.

this year, he gave me a teddy! i know it is so baduy to give teddy bears these days but wait, there's a story behind this. before i left for the states last year, i asked him to buy me a teddy because i wanted to have something to hug since we'll be away from each other. jope is not your typical (and very predictable) romantic guy, and he cringes and finds this really corny. so no, he didn't buy me a teddy and gave me his elmo voice recording toy instead.

but this year, he gave me a teddy! and while i'm not really a teddy person, it made me cry. he loves me so much that he will do things that he swore he'll never do, if it would make me happy. i bet he was really uncomfortable when he got the teddy, but he did nevertheless.

his name is deathcab. he has a flower in his tummy too.

dear jope,

you never fail.
my heart is yours, destiny.
love forever.

semper fidelis,
cathy
