mine came from hubby, just several minutes ago. we were cleaning up after eating dinner and he was singing "wonderful tonight" revived by babyface. when he got to the line "and i say yes, you look wonderful tonight", i kidded him and asked "really?". to my surprise, he was serious when he said "of course!" despite the fact that i am in this over-sized t-shirt and loose pajamas and my hair is all messed up (i haven't brushed my hair since i took a bath late in the afternoon so imagine my hair going on all directions) and he said that, it was the best compliment i have received in days. brings to mind one of jessica simpson's song, "with you" (hate the girl, love the song): with nothing but a t-shirt on i never felt so beautiful baby as i do now now that i'm with you :X

Just after eating dinner also my boyfriend/live-in partner told me that my "nilagang baka"(beef soup) tasted really delicious and would you believe that it's his favorite viand and I just served/cooked him that same meal lastnight.

the compliment is not really on me, its about the pasta that i made for my hubby. its made of tri-color rotini topped with steamed salmon with sesame-ginger sauce. he always says "yummy" to every meal i prepared but last night, he just seriously said that i could put up my own restaurant, he said that my pasta is a whole lot better than olive garden's,lol. by the way, what ur hubby just said was really sweet.

yeah, it IS. anyways, your hubby is sweet too :) i wish i could hear that from my husband as well but unfortunately for me i can't cook so i guess i'll have to depend on other aspects where i can dish out a compliment from him. hee hee.

The best of course is from my family. My husband tell me I'm sexy,beautiful,gorgeous on a daily basis,and best of all he is there for me whatever I should need. My children always say they had the most awesome childhood ever, and now that they are grown up they tell me how beautiful I am and they compare me to their friends mothers,saying they are old and ugly,like they just let themselves go,while I'm 41 and look not a day over 30,am beautiful ect. Another compliment that I recieve all the time when I'm with my kids who are 23&24 ,is from there friends that don't know me. They will say hey,can you introduce me to your sister?Maybe hook me up?. But this one is the best and it made my year....My oldest son and I were shopping and I was by the cash register and he came up and asked if he could get some change from the car for a soda, he called me like hey mom,can I get some change from the car...the cashier just looked at me and said oh my god!! and I was kinda of laughing because she was...she said That's you son? I said yeah..she said oh my god I thought he was your boyfriend!!I was just going to tell you what a nice looking couple you made...needless to say my face turned crimson,I could feel it and I went around to her,gave her a huge hug and told her"you made my year!!!!lol

oh wow. that's really flattering! my mom gets that all the time too. people always think we're sisters when we go out together, but i'm not really sure if its saying that i already look mature or if my mom looks young. haha!

hey there friend! looks like svet is getting bigger and bigger each day. well, the best compliment i have received lately was from a foreign patient i had few days ago. he was a Korean National who stayed in the resort where i happen to work as a clinic nurse. The patient called up and requested for a remedy for colds and runny nose but opted not to be seen by the doctor. He was so ill that he asked to have the pills be delivered as soon as possible. I called the guest service office but no one answered that I was forced to deliver the medicines personally to his room. I went straight ahead and checked on him. He was a bit feverish with a temperature of around 37.8 centigrade. I advised his significant others to give him a tepid sponge bath. I advised them and at the same time put on notes the instructions on how to take the medicines since they were really having a hard time understanding English. when all was done, the patient himself told me - "THANK YOU, VERY CLEVER NURSE"! i was so happy to ever heard such compliment from a patient who's sick and yet managed to appreciate my effort. that was really so heartwarming!

From my hubby and for the nth time he would always whisper: 'Uhmmm...you look sexy!' (although I'm not that sexy) and winks hahaha... And the next thing will be talking sweet nothings, dining, doing the dishes and turn off the lights...lols! Kinda routine but I don't mind. From my son, yesterday after we did his 'elements table.' After the bonding, he kissed me and said: 'Thanks mom, you're really cool..luv ya!' and smacked. Those were my 2 special men in life.

The best compliment I have received recently was at work, today I was rearranging stock and organising it so it is presentable (also known as merchandising) and someone at work, who used to work in merchandising said I was very good at it. This was a great compliment as she is experienced in this area. It also made me think that I might go into this career area when I am at Uni to get some extra money.

My boss during my appraisal commented that without me he would not have sustained his new job. Its a great complement for me because it came from the person known for never praising his subordinates

mine is from my mom, when i was throwing away shoes to make room for my new ones, my mom complained bitterly for my having too many shoes, keep buying new ones continously. then i answered "better have shoes to throw away than worrying about no shoes to wear" fortunately, this answer received my mom's praise, "you have a point there, that's right" see? in this way, i can have right reason for buying more. i'm really a genius in this matter.

My granddaughter told me just yesterday that I had the most beautiful eyes. She even told her boyfriend to look at them and he also said that my eyes were beautiful. Also last week my husband went out for breakfast and while we were waiting to be seated a friend of my husband came over to talk to him and he thought I was my husband daughter. I felt really good .

Hmmm, the best compliment lately.....that would have to be when a friend looked at me and said, You are just plain weird, woman!*L* And, this morning when my husband looked at me and smiled, kissed me on the cheek and said, "Morning, you old hag!"

its really nice to hear compliments from our loved ones especially from a husband. i too received a compliment from my hubby yesterday. i was wearing a blouse which is quite sexy and he said i look sexy with it. i gain weight since i got pregnant and wasnt able to loss it until now(my baby is already 10mos old). even then he found me sexy. ya its right, that no matter how we look, if our husband loves us, we still could be beautiful in their eyes. but let us not also forget to groom ourselves bot for the sake of our loved ones but for our own sake. gud day.
