Almost three years after my sweet 17th birthday party, nothing happened. We never got in touch to each other till we met again on Ron's sister wedding party on 17th December 2000. He started to 'take action' since then. He did many ways for 2 years to 'steal my heart'. Ron went to Australia to visit me in July 2002. He brought this necklace and wore it on my neck. I was so touched to see this necklace with the words "I [Heart] U" written on the pendant! It's my favorite necklace even till now.
This is my Forever Friends' collection, given by Ron in several events, as other ways to 'steal my heart' :P
1. The Santa Clause bear was given when he first started to approach me in December 2000.
2. The 6-mini "FENITA" bears were given in February 2001, my 1st birthday after he started to approach me.
3. The biggest bear was given in February 2002, my 2nd birthday after he started to approach me.
4. The 7-mini "NAVIRIA" bears were given as a reminding gift every year on how many years he had been waiting for my answer. The "N" bear was given in December 2001, the "A" bear was given in December 2002 when he finally got my answer. The "V", "I", "R", "I", and "A" bears were all given at the same time in 2003 after finally we got together. At that time, I just realized that he had actually bought all the "NAVIRIA" bears. I was wondering, since my last name has 7 characters, would he really wait for me till 7 years??
5. The pink bear was given in February 2003, our 1st valentine's day after we got together.
After this pink bear, I never received any more bear from him. I guess, it was no longer the trend after the year 2003? Or because we had been matured a lot after that? Or because this bear's name is "Forever Friend"? We changed its name to "Forever Ronny" after we got together, by the way. Don't laugh! I know, young love is childish. ^_^
