it's the thought that counts. true. and the effort... kana. di jud na makaligtaan og appreciate sa usa ka babaye. BUT to answer your questions TS...
i like flowers. i like to receive them. i makes me feel happy. their colors, their smell... doesn't need to be really exquisite of some sort. i know some women don't prefer to receive them since they don't last long but whenever i receive one, i make the most out of it. place it in a vase and place it by the window where it can welcome a bit of sunshine. i like the sight of it by the window.
i like chocolates but not as a gift. ako nalang siguro palit because naay chocolates nga di ko ganahan. haha
BUT what i really do prefer are "any day handwritten notes". ambot if it sounds too old school or mushy. but before, i used to do this to my friends... i write them a note of encouragement or a joke or something and just drop it in their bag... any day... nothing special. then i just wait for a day for them to find it. imagine how a piece of paper and some written words can change a person's mood.
so yeah. it's the thought that counts. di kaayo ko ganahan anang giving of material gifts. i know it sounds grand and lovely and special... but sometimes, when it comes to material things, maka huna2 ra man gud ko na makapalit ra nya ko ana or maybe material things nga di ko ganahan or di nako type or di ko ganahan sa color... siguro ok ra na if kaila na jud mo kaayo kay at least you know the likes and dislikes of a person na.
