I SURVIVED VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

With a little help from my friends and lotsa chocolates...I SURVIVED VALENTINE'S DAY!!! hehe! Actually, it wasn't that bad...I spent the whole day working. It's a good thing that most of my colleagues are also single and loveless so we found comfort in knowing that we are not alone...hehe! I think the only difficult part of the day was trying to answer some of my students' questions as to why I still don't have a boyfriend...hehe! After work, I treated myself by buying a slice of cheesecake from Mocha Blends...which I later on ate while watching my all time favorite romantic film, Love Actually. It was a good "loveless" valentine's day for me...hehe!

Did you know that Korea has an entirely different way of celebrating Valentine's day??? In Korea, the women are expected to give chocolates or any other presents to the important men in their lives on the 14th of February. Cool huh? Women get the perfect opportunity to make the first move in cases where the guys they like aren't paying any attention to them. The the following month, the 14th of March (White Day), it would be the men's turn to give candies or any other presents to the special women in their lives. On the 14th of April...the single people who didn't receive any chocolates on Vday and candies on White day get to celebrate "Black Day" wherein they should go to a Chinese restaurant to eat Black Noodle Soup as form of mourning for their miserable single life...hehe!!! Single people got it really bad in Korea...they have to survive three days that would remind them of their solitary existence and the absence or romance in their lives...hehe! They should all come to the Philippines where the ones with significant others are made to feel uncomfortable by single people for celebrating Valentine's day on Valentine's day...hehe!

Valentine's day was not as bad as I thought it would be...I hope ya'll had a good one...especially those who had special someones to spend it with...SPREAD LOVE ALL AROUND!!!
