the crimson month

Ahhh… yes… it’s that time of the year wherein you are engulfed in nostalgic scarlet hearts, mushy love songs, creamy chocolates (hmmm…. I love chocolates!), sickening romantic aura that emanates from almost everyone and the splash of red in almost every public establishment! Who would have thought that too much red can be such an eyesore? It’s that or I am just tired of staring at my red table that I have grown tired of this color… I was never really a fan of this “romantic” occasion not because I managed to stay single my whole life, but all the love in the air is a bit suffocating… don’t’ you think? A lil bit overrated I guess…

Ways to spend the Hearts Day: if you’re SINGLE and lovin’ it! (at least on my part! Hehe!)

1)       Gather up all your fellow single friends and hit the nearest bar/club and dance the night away! Who says SINGLES on Valentines Day can’t have fun?!

2)       Try Speed Dating or go out on a blind date! You never know… Cupid might hit you with his arrow!

3)       Declare a SPA-ruary day! Treat yourself to that soothing massage, relaxing foot spa, manicure and pedicure that you’ve been raving about, or better yet, get a full makeover!

4)       Watch a cool concert! Every foreign artist known to man is coming to town! All you have to do is pick!

5)       If you’re in the mood to mope and wallow because of your social status, just get yourself a DVD and watch Serendipity or Lake House with a big bowl of your favorite ice cream. Or skip the romance DVD kind and watch a comedy flick instead! There’s nothing like a good ol’ laugh to brighten your day!

Nevertheless, how you spend your Valentines Day is up to you. As for me, I have always spent this day with my friends! And it has been a bit of a tradition for us that Hearts Day is our own excuse to celebrate our friendship over the years! Cheers!
