Your friends excitedly make big plans for this day. They have already bought new outfits to wear along with gifts for their loved ones. But all you can do is listen with a poker face as they share ideas and ask for advice resisting the need to scream. You begin to hate your newly acquired relationship status for various reasons:
5) Paraphernalia ( mga abubot)
Malls, shops and bookstores are displaying chocolates, teddy bears and heart shaped cards. Sadly, no one who will buy them for you. You can’t buy them for yourself because the shop assistants will look at you with like you are pathetic. Duh haha!
4) Love-obsessed media
Radio stations play love songs which couples dedicate to each other. You, of course, have no one to dedicate anything to. Radio and Disc jockeys dish out advice as if they were love gurus. Morning show hosts harp on about the importance of the holiday. They invite happy couples on their shows who share stories which only add to your misery. Watch any TV channel and you’ll see romantic specials. So, be ready to have lots of tissue handy, along with a big bowl of chocolate ice-cream.
3) The color red
Red is the color of the day. It is worn by every other person and if you decide to wear black (because it’s your favorite color), you are looked at with suspicious eyes and that adds to your embarrassment tama?
2) People in general
Your friends and cousins send you Valentine’s day ‘forwards’ through text message even if your facial expression clearly says you are not interested.
1) Pity
Making plans to hang-out with your friends who have dates on the day is a big mistake. The sight of those couples will make you sick.
Oh My God!I'm gonna die!
