Fond memories of Valentine's Day

I found this video today in my Facebook feed. It's about Single Guys vs Single Girls on Valentines Day. 

Hahahaha! I don't relate anymore to all the wallowing and shiz, but that quote from @NickyParisBitch sure did hit home:

The worst part about  being single on Valentine’s day is not about being alone, it’s knowing that people who are uglier than you, have found love.

Super LOL, eh sa yung ang nag hit home eh! Of course I have joined the Valentine's day bandwagon, but speaking from experience, I would rather be single on Valentine's day (no expectations) than have a beau with absolutely no plans of being romantic. At all.

Anyway, looking back, I realized that while Single Awareness Day trends on twitter every year on Valentine's day, I actually have a lot fun during this day of love. Let me do a quick back track:

2005-2008 - Every Valentine's day, Starbucks have a  Buy 1 take 1 Frap Promo using their planner coupons so I always buy Venti and give the other to my friend. So we always look forward to Valentine's day. Also, back in our office, every Valentine's day we used to have a Prom Night where our agents dress up in pretty gowns then we'd have the actual pageant after everyone's shift. It's been something we all look forward to.

2009 - One of my best Valentine's day because both our British cousins, Stew and Chimayne, were here in the Philippines. We went bar hopping and went to a naughty bar and had tons of laughter. That's my favorite Valentine night to this day.

2010 - I don't remember what I did, actually.

2011 - My friends Nina, Jla, and I, had an movie marathon party that Nina and I ended up sleeping over at her house. Wrote about it here. 

2012 - Kuya Stew was once again in the Philippines and we went to UP's annual February Fair. I also spent Valentine's week with friends. Wrote about it here. 

2013 - On the actual Feb 14 date, I was really firm about staying in but I got bullied into going out so next thing I knew, I was out with my two guy friends, Rogus and Dodi, and wrote about it here. 

2014 - Last year I started the small KTV party with my friends called #KEAoke and wrote about here. It was one of the most fun Valentine's I've had.

So two things my friends, and speaking from experience: 1) This whole Valentine's day drama rama is just all in the head, and 2) Valentine's Day, like Boracay, is best spent with friends.
