It's the first day of the LOVE month and it's another love month that will pass by without me having someone by my side. I am not in hurry for love, just what the song goes, YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE, YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT...
We'll I'm not actually envious with my friends who already found their prince charmings, or if they already near their happy-ever-after or maybe beyond. I am not jealous of couples, holding hands while walking, hugging and dating. In fact I am truly happy for them, because they have found love, they are in-love and they are happy. And what makes me happy the most is, love found them, at least if not for me, for everyone else.
I am just wondering what will I do during that day, because I know that restaurants will be full, cinemas will have the longest line though the showing is not that good enough, the malls will be for couples, the parks, if there's a park in BACOLOD, will be for sure the place for some couples too. (I guess LAGOON will be one.)
Valentine's Day is good for business. The flower shops will be full of orders and busy with their deliveries, because boys will give flowers to their girls. (but really, can't they give flowers to their girls on any other day??? should it be really valentine's?) Restaurants will full of reservations and couples dating (even the most tasteless restaurants will be full on that day) and I am certain on that. Malls will be having a sale for couples, and there will always be hearts and cupids hanging! The boutiques will be code RED and almost all of them will have this "VALENTINE'S SALE" and I think the last will be the chocolates! Chocolates will be disposed like water. Chocolates of any sizes and shapes will be bought, if not then it will be on sale the day after. Is greeting cards really necessary in these times? We'll if it's still trending, then NBS will also be extra busy.
It's also the time when all you can see on your news feeds are these lines "I love you honey!" "happy valentine's" "thanks for the gifts" and pictures of them together, with bouquet of flowers, chocolates and a kiss! I am not bitter, I am just stating a fact, and we can't really avoid it. I am just saying that Valentine's day is just any other day, it is just a normal day, but then it became so over rated and over publicized! We can always show our love to one another aside from this very day, right? We can always give flowers and chocolates to the one we love, we can date and reserve a table for two in a fancy restaurant other than this day. We can always walk hand in hand with the one we chose to love any day or any time we want to. We can go to parks and see movies (good movies) and will not line up to see bad ones any ordinary time that we are free.
We don't really need to be so mushy about this day, because we can always do what we want in any-other-odinary-day to our love ones. But then, we we're thought or so I thought that this day is made especially for the loving couples.
We'll if you ask me what will be my plan for this day, I will surely say that I will have a date.... Yes, you read it right. I will have a date, a date with the LORD. Because I know that no matter what happened, that even if I will receive nothing on that day, I will always have GOD! A GOD that will never cease on loving me, who loves me unconditionally and who will give me happiness beyond compare. Who knows, maybe by dating HIM, will I find the one who will do what I've mentioned above! So, have a happy valentine's to you to! Cheers to all the single! =)
