Singles Awareness Day/Month

Valentines Day is a holiday meant for couples…but why do couples need one day out of the 365 days in a year? Can’t they celebrate their love everyday? The fact that they managed to find that one person - out of the billions inhabiting the planet - who makes them feel worthwhile is cause enough to wake up every morning with a smile on their face and a celebratory attitude.

Valentines Day I think was invented by the enterprising corporate world whose sole purpose is to foist off their candies, chocolates, stuffed toys, flowers and meaningless-yet-oh-so-pretty baubles off to the unsuspecting masses hoping to make a profit…

Ah despicable and yet oh so ingenious don’t you think?

But all misanthropy aside, I think that Valentines Day shouldn’t be celebrated simply on a single day out of all the days we have in a year. Like my Rizal Prof. said when queried if he was going out that day or not…

“Why do I have to go out on Valentines Day when there’re so many days available to me in a year?”

And to those who are happy with their special someone…Congrats and many more blissful years to come.
