Too much ado about Valentine
Seriously, if I see one more red heart...
All this talk about love and romance and excusing oneself for being loveless by saying Valentine is not just for lovers but also for friends and family... just makes me feel *bleh*.
Valentine is for lovers who do not care to be cheesy and express their feelings either by arranging a memorable date or giving gifts or being around or doing stuff together with their partner.
For the rest it is simply a non-day, an ordinary day.
So how do you escape it? Try not opening your social media account at least for the next 24 hours. Avoid restaurants and pubs. Do not enter malls and shopping centers that are blatantly selling their wares by making you feel sorry for being loveless. Keep your TV and radio off so you won't hear those overly smoochy love declarations and drama. Lock the cupboards where you store chocolates and chips and alcoholic beverages.
The best thing to do is reorganize your closet, scrub your bathroom until it sparkles, sort out the goods in your pantry, iron clothes, clear your indoor plants of dried leaves, shine your cutlery, rearrange your cd collection and stack your books according to height.
Just do something clinical so that you would not wallow in self-pity if you are single, or if you aren't but your beau is not giving you the attention you deserve.
Now get on with it!
