my kind of hearts day
R sent one of the first and most wonderful texts for the day that said "with date or no date you can’t deny the fact that you are fabulous and we love you." i spend hearts day as i would any other special day and that is being with the people that i love. for the longest time my celebrations of valentine’s day depended on whether my cousin next door would throw a birthday party or not since her birthday falls on the same day but with or without a party i always remember to say i love you to my mother, father and brother (and even to all my relatives who live nearby) by saying it out loud or with a card. ever since i came to manila, how to spend the day is all up to me and since then i have gotten used to spending it with my friends but more often with J a.k.a. as snicket. i planned on staying in yesterday but i ended up having a full day. of course first agenda for the day was to reply to greetings and text greetings to people then i met up with a friend to get my valentine’s day gifts for friends i would see that day but not after going to lunch mass. i was off to ABS-CBN at around half past three to get something from there and to visit a friend. i was set to go home when i got all these texts for evening plans and so true to tradition i had dinner with snicket (note: even if she has a bf already) at via mare in power plant (note again: it’s always been at this mall) then we had coffee at seattle’s best coffee while watching rockin’ revival. N and D then joined us at our place for a nightcap with ice cream and drinks in tow. J called from NY and that’s the kind of surprise that best ends hearts day. so you see it’s not all about dates, roses and chocolates - it really is about good food AND people who love you and who make everyday valentine’s day.hope you had as much love as i did =)
ps, i will post pictures of my trips when i will have the time to do so =)
