Shawn has gotten me an uber nice wedding present! It came as a surprise one day as we were unpacking our grocery bags. At the bottom of one bag, beneath all that organic tomatoes and eggs, was this medium sized boxed, inconspicuously wrapped with brown paper. I asked him what was the box all about, and he simply told me it was for me to open and find out. =) Open it I did, and to my delight I found the little Prada bag I’ve always wanted but was too stingy to buy, lol. I thanked him profusely and secretly vowed to get him a present too!
I racked my brain day and night for the ideal gift when suddenly it hit me: By golly, I’m going to get him an XBOX 360! Shawn owns a Sony PS3 and a Nintendo Wii (he’s nuts about video games), and the only thing he does not have is an XBOX 360. So I went over to a local game store and got him the latest bundle with 60GB hard drive and a couple of games. While there, I found tons of nice accessories and even saw a PINK wireless controller which I included in my purchases! I love pink stuff and how appropriate it is to buy that controller because that meant I can actually play with him occasionally. Shawn was always rattling on and on about how he wishes I play video games too just like the “other guys’ girlfriends”.
Armed with the console, pink controller and games like GTA IV, Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead, I presented Shawn with the package right after dinner last night and he was pleased as punch! He was even happier when I told him that I won’t mind joining him for a gaming session or two sometimes. And I did mean it. We played Left 4 Dead, a cool zombie shoot-em-up game which I enjoyed immensely. I found out that it was pretty easy to master the controls after all. It was very intuitive and easy to manage!
