Some dates to remember:

P’s birthday - February 18th, a Thursday

Valentine’s Day - February 14th, a Sunday

I went out for dinner with my friend Fhebie Saturday night last week. I also took it as the perfect opportunity to look for a birthday present for P, probably also Valentine present if you count that too.

I actually already had the perfect present in mind, but I just couldn’t find it.

Late last year, P bought a late 2008 Macbook Pro that he’d been saving up for. For his Christmas present, I bought him a Belkin Ceylon Messenger Bag for when he needed to go out with the laptop.

He still needed a sleeve, though, for storing the laptop at home. The bag is great and all, but still too bulky to leave on top of a desk. He has been eyeing the Tucano Microfiber Second Skin sleeve, which we’d seen at a PowerMac store in Megamall, but was too cheap to buy it.

Met Fhebie at Greenbelt 3, which fortunately also carried said sleeves, even if they only had two left. Did my gift-shopping in less than two minutes, hah! Fastest time yet. Haha.

A laptop sleeve is admittedly not the most romantic present to give your boyfriend, but we are practical. And he loved it!

Besides, the present still had a romantic air to it: I bought it in RED.

P was so excited to open his gift, that he didn’t even pause to admire the gift-wrapping, which I had done at Karton. I took a photo after he opened it:

If I only had enough money, I’d give him presents all the time. <3
