Oh, The Sweetest Thing!
What's the sweetest thing you've ever done for a guy?

The Candy editors share what the sweetest thing they've done for a guy is. How about you?
| We're both mushy and we love surprising each other with sweet gestures, so I've done all sorts of stuff. Once, the Candy team even helped me make him a giant Valentine crossword puzzle (Mimi! Remember?)! But I think one of the most touching gestures for him was something super simple I did. His birthday's in the summer and he's always been a bit sad that he doesn't get to talk to all his classmates then. So I called up all his friends and classmates (even ones I've never met!) the day before his birthday and asked them to greet him on his big day. He felt so happy all day long! —Mia, Editor in Chief | |
| I made a "happy box" and wrote 365 little picker-upper notes inside. The idea was for him to get a note out of the box each time he felt sad. :) He cried when he saw it. :) —Steph, Art Director | |
| I wasn't sure what to answer to this question so I asked my boyfriend. Hehe. This is what he said: "One of the sweetest things you did was when you tied that lei around my neck during your batch Christmas party. It didn't mean anything to you but to me it meant a lot. Though we weren't together yet, it made me think you'd be a great girlfriend because you were approachable, kind, and friendly." :) —Angel, Assistant Features Editor | |
| I am rarely sweet. Hehe. But I did write a short story about a guy way back in college, then made him read it. I guess that counts. :) —Marla, Assistant Lifestyle Editor | |
| Because I was such an Internet geek back in high school (still am, actually!) and I had my own domain, I created a microsite of "our story." It was complete with pictures, meaningful song lyrics, and a super detailed account of how we got to know each other, started to like each other, and eventually got together. —Macy, Web and Mobile Producer | |
| Since I love surprises myself, I would always give surprises to the people special to me. One time, I surprised my boy in a basketball game with his officemates and brought him a cupcake. He hugged me so tight even though he was drenched in sweat. :D —Roch, Web and Mobile Producer |

the sweetest thing i did to my boyfriend was i surprised him on his birthday last may 30. i asked him to go to our house because i had a surprise for him so he did... what i did was i bought a cake on the day before his birthday and asked our yaya to cook pasta for us... i also made juice and added some food.. when he got to our house i blindfolded him and took him to our terrace... when i removed the blindfold he was really surprised to see a birthday cake w/ lighted candles and some food that i planned especially for him... he was so happy that he hugged me really tight...

My guy friend asked me out on a date/gimmick with our barkada. It was the first week of summer and my family and i had to go to China pa so I turned them down. Since he was my "date" for that night he was bummed. :| So i called him up from our hotel at midnight coz of the time difference. Ergh, and may jet lag pa! Plus we had to pay extra for that phone call since i called him through his cell. But he was touched anyway....and shocked. :)

it's not for my boyfriend, but for someone i was liking at the moment, he's a varsity player in a chinese school, and i am a cheerleader from a different university. it was his birthday, and we had a game on the same day, i planned on surprising him, by going to his basketball practice but, the time didn't allow me to do so, but what i did was i asked the whole team(pep squad) to text him and greet him happy birthday,text brigade in a sense. at the end of the day, i called him and made him hear the cheer my pep mates did over the phone,greeting him..on his special day!!!

there was this time when we were at our cl*ssmate's place, and we decided to order food from mcdo. we have this one cl*ssmate who i really like who was there. i ordered quarter pounder with cheese, plain and so did he. when the delivery came, the quarter pounder cost P100. he only had P70 while i had P200. none of my other cl*ssmates had any money left so i paid for his quarter pounder. he blushed and thanked me. i blushed a little too and let it fade away quickly before he notices! it was the best day!:)

hmn.. I asked my mother to reserve the basketball court for one Saturday afternoon. That Saturday my guy and I played basketball as our monthsary date. I even had jerseys especially made his number was my birthdate and mine was his. I think this is the sweetest thing i had done for my guy, to be a girlfriend who is not afraid to play like a guy and get sweaty and all.. haha

the sweetest thing i've done for my boyfriend was when we weren't together yet, but for his birthday, i stenciled the "phantom of the opera" mask (his favorite musical) onto a brown paper bag with his proper gift inside, hid it behind a dressing room mirror (again inspired by the musical), and gave him a little riddle to solve in order to find the gift.

way back in junior highschool, my boyfriend and I had a huge fight and it was my fault. so for us to make up again, I asked one of our senior friend to help us two make up. Since Our 2nd monthsary was Feb.14 and our JS prom was on the same day, My friend and I agreed to this plan: WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN DAnce(My Bf and I), PLAYING OUR OWN SONG, Just the two of us. Before We danced I personally apologized and Right then and there he forgave me..and I think that's one of the sweetest thing I've done for a guy...

Putting him back to reality by frankly telling him how pessimistic and brooding he is, and showing him how to squeeze the most out of his life and not just cower in the corner; definitely was the sweetest thing i did for him! :) not only did i save a soul from utmost indifference and loneliness, i also realized that my optimism can actually give vibrancy in other people's lives! WEEH! :]
