7 continents.
196 countries.
almost 7 BILLION people.
- and I'm still SINGLE.
Yeah, welcome to the dreaded LOVE month. In a few days everything will magically turn into red, flowery and fluffy environment. Restaurants will be full of love doves without wings. Hotels, motels, and any room with available bed will be occupied for that act of expressing love or populating the world or just scratching that proverbial itch.
Ok, let me rephrase that, Im not dreading February. Im just not a big fan of it. Of all the months, I am happy that February is the shortest, damn this year it is a leap year! Anyways, I don't dread the whole February, just the day before salary day which coincidentally falls on the 14th.
St. Valentine's Day as it is called, Araw ng mga Puso for us Filipinos, the whole world celebrate this 14th day of February as the day to overly express your love. For most of us when we say expression of love, we immediately think of the opposite sex. However, we can express love to our parents, our siblings (if you have one), our friends, to the less fortunate people and more. There are more people out there where love is needed and Valentine's day may be more meaningful if you shared it with them.
So that's my plan for this year's Valentine's day, celebrate it with someone I love... and in case you misread the first few sentences above, I repeat that I am SINGLE this time (and for awfully a long time now) so that someone I love is not a romantic interest, but someone that I wanted to make happy and share my time with.
To the rest of my peers and people out there who does have someone to spend the V-day that is romantic, I have the following words. Make sure it is legal - with your legal partner, legal age and in a legal place. Make sure it's SAFE - wear protection if you are not trying to conceive, absolutely wear protection if you are doing it for other purposes and with someone you barely know. Make sure it is meaningful - life's too short to waste time, tomorrow may not come at all.
To all people who have a heart, and more correctly to all the people who feels, a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
