We all know what today is. It is that one day of the year that flowers, chocolates and teddy bears are overpriced. Well, I am sort of exaggerating… NOT! I am not a big fan of this day, but I am welcome to the idea that it could be a special day. My boyfriend and I agreed not to make a big fuzz about this day. We don’t like the idea that the best kind of love should be expressed and squeezed on one “special” and commercialized occasion.
Before I met Ryan, I became skeptical and cynical about love. I thought that being in love is corny, but deep down, I know that I am just being cynic and fooling myself. I was deeply hurt a few years back, and it took some time for me to get over the fact that I was kicked in the head over and over by the same guy.
After a few months, I was back in the game. The game of life. I embraced being single and enjoyed life with my friends and family. I dated a few guys, one each year that I was single, but on the last year, I was able to date three. Not at the same time, though… *winks*
Moving on…
I am not going to say that there is a big difference about how I live my life since becoming attached to someone. Being single for four consecutive years helped me become independent and I learned to love myself more. I know I can do things on my own. Until now, when I am 
doing something quite hard, Ryan would offer his help, and unknowingly, I would reject it. I don’t really have to show that I don’t need a man to prove my worth, but, I just got used to it. Now, I am more aware of this, and sometimes, I let him do things for me when he offers. I know he means well.
Today, whether you’re single or attached; remember, Valentine’s Day is just one day out of the 365 days that you can be in love with someone, or be loved by someone. Don’t let this day stress you out. Make everyday a time for you to reflect on your life and find love in the strangest of places.
Family-love, friend-love, or self-love is still love in itself.
My tips on how To Survive Valentine’s Day.
Alam mo Dre, ako, miss independent paren. Pati parang gusto ko ako yung nangunguna, first move kumbaga. LOL. Ewan kokung dala ba ito ng pagiging bi ko and sanay ako na sa relationships eh ako yung parang guy (except sa last gf ko, mejo pantay kami ng effort) LOL! Naku, baka naiinis sakin si Jake, maybe I’m stepping on his ego? Hindi kaya? Ewan ko talaga, ganun na talaga ako. Pero syempre gusto ko din na pinapagfeeling girl ako, syempre deep inside andun paren yung feeling princess diba? HAHA Lahat naman ata ng babae ganun.
Naalala ko pa yng mga panahong single tayo parehas. Parehong hindi naniniwala sa love. Eh… hindi ko naman love si Jake, tamang gusto lang. Ewan ko or in denial ako or talagang hung up ako sa ex ko or nalilito lang ba or dapat wag nalang isipin? Hehe!!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day sanyo ni Ryan!
i-dedate ko mamaya si Jakey.. hehe, oo ako ang feeling mang dedate.. HAHAH!!Baligtad.
