happy valentine's day

"now i'm here to stay, love can be so boring" - vertical horizon [best i ever had (grey sky morning)]

for as long as i can remember, i've always worn black on vday. it's kinda like my own personal to heck with it to this single awareness day. yes, it's called that 'coz it's the day where singles are most aware of their singleness.

not that there is anything wrong with being single. there is a greater amount of freedom and possibilities that come with being uncoupled.

but while some singles long for a vday date, i don't. don't get me wrong, i'll welcome a boyfriend... if he was the right one... but i just don't do vday 'dates' with guys. i even go to the extent of declining when asked and suggesting another day instead. there's just too much pressure on this day. and i don't need any of that. besides everywhere is teeming with happy couples hand in hand, dining at places which are way overpriced. i wouldn't wanna pressure the guy like that when we don't even have any commitment.

instead what i've done on past vdays included gatherings of singles (both co-ed and sometimes just with my girls), trips to the library, working out in the gym or just staying at home doing my thing.

so what will i be doing this valentine's day? i'm not sure... if i'm lucky one of my guy friends will be cooking for a few of us single girls. if i'm not, then i guess home it is.
