Sweet treats are standard Valentine's Day gifts for a good reason - everyone loves them.  Do your sweetie one better by baking your own Valentine cookies and arranging them in a pretty tin. Try one of these easy recipes, or make a couple different kinds and mix them together:

2. A Personalized Mix CD

Burn a CD with a combination of romantic songs, songs that are important to your relationship (like the first one you danced to) and inside joke songs (like the theme song to the corny TV show that you both love).  Then decorate the CD case with a college of fun magazine clippings.

3. Tickets to a Show

Check your city guide to see what all-ages shows are coming to your town.  Don't limit yourself just to concerts or sporting events.  Comedy shows, film festivals or fancy-schmancy plays can also be fun.  Buy two tickets (one for each of you), tie them with a ribbon and put them in a gift box to surprise your sweetie.  (You might need to check with their parents to make sure there are no scheduling conflicts.)

4. A Photo Album

Photos are taken all the time, but way too few of them ever get printed.  Correct that this instant by printing out your favorite photos of you and your sweetie and putting them into first pages of a new photo album.  (The other pages are for the photos you haven't taken yet.)  I like this classy plaid album with a slot for a cover pic.

5. Handmade Artwork of Something They Love

Depending on your artistic skill level, draw, paint or do a tracing of something your boyfriend or girlfriend loves - like their favorite animal, their favorite musician or the logo of their favorite sports team.  (Or in the case of my high school boyfriend, Chewbacca.  Weird, right?)  If you're not much of an artist, you can find some quality tracing paper here.

6. A Funny Stuffed Animal

Giving your boyfriend or girlfriend a stuffed animal for Valentine's Day verges on being too corny...unless it's something totally silly and unexpected, like this dwarf lemur.  Add a romantic touch by tying a red ribbon around its neck.

7. A Personalized Photo Puzzle

Visit this site and upload a photo of the two of you, and you'll get it back as a 25-piece puzzle that comes with a matching tin.  Or to be even more creative, upload a silly pic of you holding a secret Valentine's Day message.

8. A Coupon Jar

Fill a glass jar with cute, handmade coupons that say things like, "good for a good long hug," "good for one back rub" (clichéed, but who doesn't love a back rub?) and "you get to pick the movie we watch tonight."  Be as creative as you want with what you write - but keep in mind that your sweetie's going to redeem them one day.

Ne-Yo - So Sick

Mmmm mmm yeah
Do do do do do do do-do
Ohh Yeah

Gotta change my answering machine
Now that I'm alone
Cause right now it says that we
Can't come to the phone
And I know it makes no sense
Cause you walked out the door
But it's the only way I hear your voice anymore
(it's ridiculous)
It's been months
And for some reason I just
(can't get over us)
And I'm stronger than this
(enough is enough)
No more walking round
With my head down
I'm so over being blue
Crying over you

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

Gotta fix that calendar I have
That's marked July 15th
Because since there's no more you
There's no more anniversary
I'm so fed up with my thoughts of you
And your memory
And how every song reminds me
Of what used to be

That's the reason I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?

(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Stupid love songs)
Don't make me think about her smile
Or having my first child
I'm letting go
Turning off the radio

Cause I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

Said I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishing she was still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
So why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)

And I'm so sick of love songs
So tired of tears
So done with wishin' you were still here
Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow
Why can't I turn off the radio?
(why can't I turn off the radio?)
Why can't I turn off the radio?

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her nails, her nails
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful 
And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

I watched this movie with my daddy, aunty and granny. We all were laughing coz of the scenes. The whole theater were laughing too..  Filmnya keren bgt. it's a MUST to be watched!! XD
Actually this movie is about the journey of a girl who had never been to the outside world. She just stayed in her tower with her mother-a step mom actually. The story begin with a flower-magic flower- which bisa bikin kita awet muda. Nah, ada penyihir jahat yang ngincer bunga itw biar dia ttep awet muda. At the same time, king and his army, lagi nyari bunga itw untuk nyelamatin ratu and the lil' princess. And they did it! the flower were given to the baby rapunzel. Since that, her hair turns to a magic one and the witch knew it. So she planned to cut her hair. But when she cut it, it turns to nothing. She was angry, so kidnapped the baby rapunzel and keep her in a big tower deep in a forest.
As rapunzel grown-up, she was wondering and asked her friends-Pascal-why can't she go to the outside world..She's a teenage already!
Suddenly she met Flynn Rider -a bandit- who was chased by the best horse of the kingdom-Maximus.
Then, the journey of them begins...
Don't forget to watch Rapunzel: A Tangled Tale!! it's awesome X)
