My Take on Valentine's Day

Oh yes, for Valentine's day, I didn't do anything special. Unless you call paying my bills and opening a new bank account special, then yes. It was the day I got close with my banking officers. ^^

But hell, I've been non-celebrating Valentine's day for the past 4 years. Like I said, why should this day be different from the rest? I don't think it's because I'm single. I mean, I'd like to have my bunch of cheesy bouquet of tulips and chocolates but I'd prefer to receive them throughout the year not just on this day alone. I think Valentine's Day is overrated. If you truly want to make her feel special, surprise her anytime of the year. Not on the one day she is expecting you to.

So when I found this YouTube video of Divine Lee whipping up a mean surprise for her beau, Victor Basa. It made me feel human and charmed. It was such a cute video of her cooking some stuff for her boyfriend and it made me wish I had someone to do that to. =(

See, I'm not even being selfish. Even though it's supposed to be that I should expect to receive something from my special someone, I am thinking of ways how I could surprise my soon-to-be boyfriend on a day like today.



I'm such a hopeless romantic.

Places To Go On Single's Awareness Day

Valentine’s Day. The Big Day. Hearts’ Day. What else? Oh and yes, it’s a reminder for all the singles out there that they are not in a relationship. While to some, this may be a joy, there are others who feel that this day is a sad and unfortunate event.

Yes. February 14 is around the corner and all around you, you’ll start seeing people carrying roses and chocolates. People will be wearing red or pink or white. Restaurants will be full of star crossed lovers staring blissfully into each other’s eyes.

Yes. To the person in love, this is the day you have been waiting for. This is the day you expect to receive those special treatment and gifts and roses from your special someone. But, not everyone can be as fortunate as you.

To people just like me, this is another day where we stay indoors and avoid places where we know will be full of lovers. While you may have a case of the love blues, you can still enjoy this special day—either with your family, friends, or even by yourself.

No. I take that back. Don’t go out on your own. It’ll be agony, especially if you’ve just been heartbroken. For this reason, I have compiled together a list of the top places to visit this Heart’s Day Single’s Awareness Day together with all your single girl friends!

1. 15TH Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark, Pampanga- You may have heard of this event in the past recent years and this is truly something you’ve got to visit. Enjoy the road trip from Manila all the way to Pampanga with your girl friends to watch the grand Hot Air Balloon Festival starting Feb. 11-14, 2010. Tickets at P 150.00 per person.

2. Breakups & Breakdowns (A New Musical)- Celebrate singlehood with your friends over at the Fine Arts Theater of Ateneo de Manila University on Feb. 11- 12, 2010. This is a romantic music comedy which was written by Joel Trinidad. Truly, have a good laugh over the typical break up scenes/ dialogues given a twist by this theatrical crew. Tickets at P 150.00 per person.

3. The Greatest Is Love by Michaelangelo- Satisfy your hunger for music for a good cause. Head on over to Taboo Bar in Julia Vargas, Ortigas Home Depot on Feb. 12, 2010 for a night of good music. The proceeds of the show will be given to the various Victory Outreach Programs. So if you’re feeling charitable this year, buy the ticket for this Valentine’s show for only P 200.00 per person.

4. Stop, Look & Mingle- If you’re feeling in the need to party out this season, then head on over to Manor at Eastwood City. It’s the Valentine’s Day Soiree of the year you’ve been waiting for. This event will be on Feb. 13, 2010.

Oh, and don’t forget to send yourself some flowers from Island Rose. Whether or not you’re in a relationship, it’s nice to send flowers to the people you love. This means even your own self. You may not have a guy to spend this occasion with but that doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself happy being single. :)
