Valentine’s Day has always been just an ordinary day for me. Over the years, my point of view about it hasn’t changed — it is just an ordinary day. Period. No erase. LOL.

Not that I am not romantic or anything. But I just don’t see the reason why others have to be sad when they don’t have a boyfriend or a special someone to spend it with. I mean, what’s the big fuss about not having a date? Valentine’s Day is not just merely for lovers. Let us not forget that we can also celebrate the occasion — if you’re the type who does — with our respective families.

So you might wanna know if I received any flowers from my husband?

The answer is a resounding NO. Because I was the one who told him to stop giving me flowers for practical reasons. Not that I don’t like flowers. As a matter of fact, I am quite amazed with how lovely they are. But the truth is, they don’t last very long. They wither. They die. And when they do, your hard-earned money dies with them too. Chocolates and cards are much better.

Anyway, Leo and I met up at SM Megamall after our shift to watch My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend. He wanted to see Jumper coz he does not like tagalog movies. Errr — I don’t understand men. They always claim they don’t like tagalog movies! But deep inside they do. They just don’t wanna admit it. Hahaha! Weird.

Going back to the movie, I did like the story. It’s really funny (especially Marian Rivera and the way she acts). There are scenes that made me cry too. Nakakakilig. Sobraaa! Oh well, just watch it and it’ll be worth your time and money. The last tagalog movie that I saw was that of Richard’s too (Let the love begin ata yun — with Angel Locsin). And in fairness, magaganda movies nya ha!

REWIND: Before meeting my husband at SM Megamall, I went to Mandaluyong, where my parents live, for a quick visit (Ooopps! Talk about about someone who doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s! LOL). On my way there, I saw a Mr. Donuts booth and saw this cute promo that they have for Valentine’s. It’s a small box of freshly baked donuts wrapped in a plastic with ribbons, teddy bear and a heart-shaped balloon inside. I bought one for my mom. Sayang di ko na-picturan. Na-bad trip kasi ako dahil nilipad ng hangin yung balloon while I was riding the tricycle. Grrr…Ang cute pa naman. Sayang.
