Post Valentine's Day Thoughts (Err, Rants!)

so, Valentine's Day is over.
and i did it on purpose to not make any shout outs or status updates about my thoughts (and yes, rants of bitterness) on the day itself.
but tonight felt right. to finally let it all out. (di na masyadong halata na bitter. hindi din!)


i won't hide it, Valentine's Day is not my favorite day/holiday of the year, in the last 10 years.
because i've been single that long. and V Day during all those years means, going out with single friends, being the 5th, 6th, or 7th wheel on couple-friends dates, strolling around the mall carrying an electric fan instead of a bunch of Valentine's treats,  eating out alone with candle lights on the table, or staying at home, alone, watching Romantic Comedies, Romantic Dramas, Romantic Tragedies (my ultimate favorite!), anything painfully Romantic and drinking the night away.


yes, i am bitter (if di pa halata sa first few lines) for being single and alone on Valentine's Day (for the nth time).
and  i don't buy the crap that this day isn't just meant for romantic love. that it's meant to be spent with people around you, who truly loves you- your mom, dad, siblings, kids, and friends.
yeah, i know that.
but really, who wouldn't agree that V Day is more exciting when seen and celebrated in that romantic context?
i'm just being real here!!! (kumontra hindi mag-agree! chos kayo!)
it sucks (yeah, masakit sa bangs!) to go out on V Day and see couples, flowers, balloons, chocolates, dinner promos, and everything red or heart-shaped everywhere (even Manong pedicab driver in our subdivision had a "Happy V Day!" heart cut-out hanging on his pedicab umbrella with matching tanung na "Ma'am wala kayong date?"!!!!).


so, what did i do on V Day? (done with the hugs and kisses to the kids, i love yous with the family, and polite replies to mushy text messages from friends.)
i took out my list of  "Romantic Movies I'd Watch Starting this Valentine's Day Until the Year When Hopefully I Ain't Single and There's No More Reason to Post Valentine's Day Rants on my Blog Anymore"


And it's Romantic Movie #7 tonight.
(Eh di magpantasya na lang na ako na ang in love na leading lady sa movie.)


Peace & Love! (Love pa din?!?!?)


p.s. red is the color of love. 
NOT!!!
red ang color pag may mali sa test paper.
lalo at bokya! :P
