This year we are not able to celebrate Valentine's Day together and no grand or big celebrations but one thing about my man is know how to keep his word when he says he loves me, honors me and cherishes me. 

The awesome great qualities that makes me fall in love with him more and more. 

1. We have a morning mantra that we tell each other this morning (started somewhere this year) and he never forgets to recites it every morning.
2. He remembers my likes and dislikes especially with my 101 food requirements. 
3. He gives me the best part of the chicken / meal whenever we eat together. 
4. He cuts the waffles to bite pieces and feeds them to me. (Yes, I never have to cut the waffles on my own.. I wonder if this applies when we are in a group setting... yet to be tested) 😜
5. He knows I like him cleanly shaven and I feel very loved when he takes the time to shave before seeing me. 😊
6. He listens to me and secretly goes off and get them delivered to me. Like the weights! And the chocolate.... O boy... he does pampers me. 
7. He puts me first. Is amazing how he is busy at work but if I talk to him, he will pause, stop and looks at me to hear me out. And when I need him, he's always there to lend me a "shoulder", virtual one since we've been in lockdown for so so many times... I am amaze how he would continue he's work way past midnight because he carved out a few hours before I sleep (which is early) to talk to me / pray for me first. 
8. He makes a point to update me and let me know what he is up to and he's whereabouts. 
9. He knows how flustered I am when I'm bogged down with work and assignment deadlines and therefore takes the time to help me with my assignment eventhough he has he's own sound mixing / editing to do. 
10. He's gentle kisses on my head / forehead and a squeeze on my hand or a side hug that tells me that everything is okay. 
11. He praises me every now and then
12. He verbally appreciates me for the things that I do for him 
13. He goes for a haircut even though he is trying to save hair cut money and too lazy to get one but he goes because he knows how when he is nicely groom, I feel like I am with the handsomest most amazing man (yes, he is even when he is not so nicely groom but when he is, it just sends all the positive vibes down me) 
14. He lets me in on his life and shares the ups and downs while listening to mine too. (I like how we can communicate what lies on our heart in an open and transparent way)
15. He makes it a point to pray for me every morning and night. Even when he is rushing for work, he will take the time to voice record the prayer. Or even when I give him the cold shoulders, yet he will text me and pray for me. A commitment he kept even before we became a couple officially and he still does till today. The one occasion when he was exhausted and was waiting for me to finish showering and didn't pray for me for just one night, was a big deal to him. That spoke volumes to me because it meant he keeps his word. 
16. He takes the time to do daily devotions together with me and goes for spiritual retreat / conferences together virtually eventhough we can't do it together physically. 
17. He goes the extra mile to cook. Lemon Curd (Yumz!), Dhal, Chicken Sambal, Portuguese Chicken Curry, Burger.. Every single drop of gravy, curd tasted excellent and what makes even more 'delicious' is it was made by him. 
18.  He opens the car door for me (except for certain time when he is shy because there's people around 😝.. still waiting for you to do that when there's others around). Every time he does it, I feel like I am a very precious princess and I can't help but beam like a bright beamer. 
19. His big heartedness to apologies to me. Many people would skirt around the issue or try to make up by doing something good or giving something or showing affection as a sign of sorry but nothing means more than the word "I'm sorry" without giving any excuses. This is one area which I have to learn myself but he does this so much better than me. It's not the word "I'm sorry" but the heart of humility behind it that makes me adore him. 
20. He tries new things. He is one person who dislikes new things. New food, new drinks... quite a tough nut to crack but he promise that he will always try one mouth and while sometimes it takes a bit more persuasion but he does it anyway. When your man does that, it just says "I love you so so much hence that is not a barrier" 
21. His heart of service. I thought he was just saying it when he told me that he's way of showing me love is by displaying acts of service but many months since, I can say that he has a servant heart. Taking my bag, carrying stuff for me when we are out shopping.  Getting up and taking the chili sauce or the extra paper tower. All these what seems like little things but is BIGG and I am so so blessed. 
22. He challenges himself to learn more and grow. Seeing him taking the initiative to find out about investments, reading up about audio, going for classes in the wee hours of the morning to improve his skills and then testing and trying them out may seem like he is improving himself for his own needs. but this also tells me that he is committed to growth and no relationship can survive unless there is continuous growth. Growth of wanting to known the other person more, improving ourselves as a way of honouring the other person. 
23. Okay there is just so so so many more and it will be a long list to write it all out...

Funny how it is the small things that warms your heart and make you feel all fuzzily warm. Thank you dear for making me feel like the luckiest, most blessed woman in the world and indeed I am. Happy Valentine's Day, my Valentine😘 Truly God sent.
