| | So the anniversary date was totally unpredictable and unforgettable!! When he first gave me a clue about something pricey in Wicker Park, I thought: OMG! Shopping spree at the Free People boutique! LOL NOT! (See, I told you I have an addiction!) Instead, it was way better. A relaxing day at Fingers & Toes Spa where I received a half hour Swedish massage, minty facial, and a mani and pedi!! It was to die for, I swear!! I was so glad I was there and not at work, where I was supposed to be up on my toes for 10 rough hours. It was my first pedicure ever, and was well needed!! It fit in so perfectly, after midterm too! The woman giving me my facial noticed my huge pimple on my temple and right away asked if I had midterm yet. LOL!!
Then after I was freshened up and exfoliated, I got dressed and we headed to dinner downtown at Carnivale, Pan Latin-fusion place. At first, I really didn't know what to expect, since I'd never heard of it before, but once we got in and were seated, I was just like, "holy geez!"
This place was jumping! There was a full bar in one room, the dining room (above), and the dance hall. The food was impeccable and orgasmic. I could not stop giggling at how delicious everything was! I had the guacamole, emapanadas, and the arrachera, which is nothing like the Filipino version, and omg, I can't even explain to you the flavors and how good it was. Dessert was our waiter's recommendation, and it sounded sort of strange, but he was advocating it like MAD, so we gave in. Squash bread pudding with ginger ice cream. A limited edition fall dish. Hmm. Squash is one of my least favorite foods. Boo. But holy geez, I was proven wrong! I don't know what kind of wonderful creative minds they have working that kitchen at Carnivale, but I swear this dessert made me fall in love with squash! Even though I was stuffed, Jay and I downed it in a minute. And ginger ice cream is one of the most exotic things I've eaten in awhile. I want to go back, like, now! Too bad you have to wait ONE MONTH to get on the damn waiting list. I can see why  .
I wanted to stay and dance off my belly, but Jay had something else planned that required us to be on time...hmm. It was orchestra seat tickets to WICKED!! lol which was wicked I tell you! To tell you the truth, I don't like the Wizard of Oz AT ALL. I think it's a creepy little movie with many hidden messages behind it. Eww, I'm scared just thinking about it; but Wicked was so lighthearted and cute! Jason laughed at me in the middle of the show since he caught me with my mouth was hanging open. There was never a dull moment and I loved every bit of it! It is totally a must-see!!
The entire date was just so remarkable, plus with each element, I'd been given a change of heart. This date really showcased not only how ballin' my boyfriend is, but also how much though he put into it. He knows how materialistic I am, and how I'm really in to finding change in my life, and this date provided no gift of material whatsoever; only a more open heart and mind to other elements of life I'd SO been missing out on.
The way to my heart is through my brain. LMAO. Thanks babe!!
