It seems that Valentine’s Day is getting less significant to people except for lovers. I am not saying this out of frustration, it’s just that I really miss my friends who make this day more special. When I was a schooler, Valentine’s Day was more colorful. In elementary days, I always help decorate the rooms with paper hearts, kissing couples, Cupid cut-outs and so on. Most of the time, I was also the one in-charge with a mini-Valentine program. In highschool, I love celebrating the Valentine with my classmates. Valentine Fair was so much fun and exciting especially the marriage booth. This thing holds true until college. I always have this “kilig” feeling to see my crush. Come to think of it, I never had any Valentine date when I was still studying but I did receive chocolates, flowers and something sweet from guys and girls alike. Friendship. And maybe secret admirer.
I started dating when I got my first job in Manila. Things went smoothly and Valentine’s Day became exclusive between me and my boyfriend. Relationships come and go. And there was one time I was crying on a Valentine. I had a better love life afterwards. That’s big thanks to my current bf… we’re together for more than 4 years now. It’s him who made my Valentine more special for the past years. I was really happy about that. The gifts, the flowers, the kisses, no girl friends would do such a thing. But I still do miss my girl buddies. I wish there’s a special “girls” day, too wherein girl friends and bff can go bonding all-day. Of course I had the time to meet up with my friends, catch up and have bonding moments but at a special day like this, I can’t help but wish to be a college freshman once again…
But maybe, that is really how it is. Valentine’s day is not like Christmas. You can do anything you want, and whether you celebrate it in the most special way or not, it doesn’t matter. It’s not an official holiday anyway. The world won’t celebrate with you! As for my boyfriend and me, I guess February 15 is the new Valentine. We’ll celebrate today though I’ve been staying with him since yesterday doing nothing but movie marathon and anime rerun. Couched potatoes.
And I’m looking forward to our booked full-body massage this week!
happy valentine. Marriage booth? I saw it into some movies. But haven’t tried it xD haven’t experience it in high school even in my college. They don’t do those kind of things. bakit kaya? sayang naman yun. haha! ayeee sis! Happy Valentine sainyo ni boyfie mo! stay inlove <3 more years to come!
Hehe. Thanks Jenn. Alala ko pa, super dyahe kapag ikinasal kayo sa marriage booth.
I definitely agree sis! Valentine’s day is not an official holiday naman, and we can share with and receive love for Vday from our family, friends and even ourselves..
Actually, even if I have a bf, we both celebrated Vday separately ’cause we’re both sick.. >.<
Awww. Yeah, we’re free to celebrate it in different ways, anytime and anywhere. Hehe.
It really doesn’t matter which day you celebrate…for as long as you love each other — everyday is a happy heart’s day.
Definitely right, Kero!
awww.. I agree.. I don’t know why people always refer Valentines day to just lovers. It should be celebrated with family and friends too. o__O My Valentines day was spent together with my friends, family and boyfriend and it felt much better than spending it along with my lover.
And this time, I’m missing my family. Lol. We just exchanged greetings kasi I’m away from home…
I’ve never been on a date with someone who isn’t my boyfriend. Weird right? It’s just that no one ever seems to ask me out and my boyfriend right now, we met through unusual circumstances. hahaha Glad you’re happier now.
Enjoy your massage! 
Thanks, Mich! Maybe not today. It’s raining cats and dogs. Hehe.
Sadly, that is true. Valentine’s day is losing its significance, except for lovers. Dami kasing bitter today. lol.
It doesn’t really matter kung sino ang kasama mo during Vday, as long as you make the day special, it’s perfectly fine. This Vday, I spent the whole day alone since the special people in my life are away. I cleaned my room and listened to songs, and DANCED like crazy. It was a special day for me.
Everyday is a heart’s day, anyway.
Hehehe. Tama! Sometimes, “me” time is better because you can celebrate to your heart’s content.
Personally I don’t really give much fuss about valentines day (though I receive flowers from my hubby every valentines)
. It’s just for me another ordinary day…Love should be felt everyday not only on valentines day. Kaya naman araw2x dapat valentines! yay!!
Sabi nga ng isang status message, “They call it Valentine’s day, I call it Tuesday!”. Lol.
Yeah, I think Filipinos are more active in celebrating Valentine’s day during their elementary and high school years because they were forced to do Valentine programs and cut cupid images because that’s their project.
Haha. Forced ba? Sabagay, inaassign ng teachers. Hehe.
Ahh valentines.. not much fuss about it since loveless people like me do not pay much attention to the fab feb four10. But it’s a celebration of Love….A language that binds the hearts of every single person in this world. Belated Happy Heart’s Day !
Same to you Julie! Have a great day ahead!
our feb 15 is still feb 14 on the other side of the globe, so yes it’s still heart’s day
belated happy V day btw 
Yeah, right! Time zone!
For me and my husband, Valentine’s Day is today – Feb. 17
We don’t really celebrate this occasion big time, we both believe it’s more important to make EVERY day a love-filled one rather than focus on a single day of gift-giving 
but hey, gifts are most definitely always welcome, right! 
Lol @ gifts but you are definitely right sis!
Some of my friends call it Single Awareness Day
Wow! Haha. Yun na pala bagong name ng Valentine’s Day.
