V day

it's finally the wkend..but guess wat? the most dreaded day of the year is in one wk's time...i hate this particular date of the year. but luckily it's on a saturday instead of a wkday so technically i could just stay at home all day and avoid society and not be reminded of it at all.. ive always dreaded this day and seeing couples and very public displays of affection makes me wanna puke..so i found this on the net targeted for ppl just like me...

Valentines Day for Singles

Romantic Valentine's Day festival is much awaited by those in love but dreaded by singles!! So much is the hype about the festival that some singles even become depressed about not having a partner several days before the festival when they see stores decorated with candies, chocolates and flowers to lure the one's in love. Some times the sense of isolation becomes so strong that many singles tend to “hate Valentine's Day” - the day that is actually meant to celebrate love.

yes this includes me...
u could say i hate V day.

Many single men and women go to the extent of calling Valentine's Day a ‘Singles Awareness Day'. This is because they feel that the day strongly reminds them of their unattached status and not having someone to spend the day in romantic and much popularized manner. Initials of the day ‘S-A-D' reflect their status of feeling depressed and unloved.

But dateless people must keep in mind that Valentine's Day is not just to be celebrated by romantically involved couples. The festival is celebrated to express love to anyone we are closed to. We can therefore celebrate Valentine's Day with friends, siblings, parents, grandparents, teachers or anyone who made a difference to our lives with their affection and support. We must take opportunity of the Valentine's Day festival to express our love and gratitude to all persons we love. And what better way to do so than by saying it with a gift of roses, chocolates and beautiful cards.

whatever...everyone knos V day is dedicated to couples.


Singles can make the most of Valentine's Day by spending the day in the company of those they love or by indulging themselves with something luxurious. Here are some tips and ideas on how singles can celebrate the Valentine's Day in charming and memorable fashion:

Valentine's Day Ideas for Singles

Pamper yourself
Buy yourself cute Valentine's Day gifts which could be flowers, a cute teddy or a dress you have been planning to buy since long. Singles may also indulge themselves by going in for spa or head to toe beauty treatment. Indulging in books, CDs, and gourmet meals can be a good way of enjoying the day for some.

yes i am thinking abt going for a massage but im too poor.


Freak out with friends
Plan out a dinner or movie with best friends. You may also throw a “singles party” or “Un-Valentine's Day Party” at your home and have a blast. You will know that life is fun in the company of loving friends.

i was also thinking of having a girl's night. but depends on who is available.


Acts of Service
Singles can spend Valentine's Day in the meaningful way by spending time with the needy and downtrodden. You may visit an orphanage or old age home and spend time with the inmates there who are always in need of love and affection. Visiting hospitals and giving roses to sick can also be a touching way of experiencing bliss on Valentine's Day.

err..i dnt think im dat big hearted...unfortunately.

Express Gratitude for friends and dear ones
Instead of feeling depressed and ashamed for not having a significant other to spend the day, singles can spend Valentine's Day in a constructive manner by expressing love and affection for people around them. One can thank and greet Valentine's Day to one's parents, friends, colleagues, neighbors or anyone dear.

hahahaha...err...ppl mite think im weird.

Think Positive
Singles can make the most of Valentine's Day by thinking positive and fighting away Valentine's Day blues. One should not spend the day sulking for not having a spouse or beloved to spend the day in a happy manner.

me? positive? hahaha..yea rite..

Focus on Relationship Plan
Singles can focus on their relationship plan on Valentine's Day and prepare themselves for healthy and lasting relationships. One can take help of dating and matrimonial sites to find a partner. Also make a list of what you can do to improve your personality. It could be developing a more healthy and positive approach towards life or working towards one's diet, health and physical appearance. Take steps you think are vital to improve your chances for relationship. Make some resolutions for yourself and stick to them.

dating and matrimonial sites?! erm i dnt think ive reached dat stage..yet. haha..and wat's wrong with my personality?!?! hahaha..ok maybe i shuld be more positive? haha..and i dnt think i need to work towards my diet or my health..i think im ok..physical appearance? err..i thot relationships shouldnt be built on physical appearances?


in conclusion, this article is slightly weird. im happy with the way i am. bring it on V day! i shall be spending dat day either doing work or spending it with frens. just like the pussycat dolls song goes.."i don't need a man". hahahaha..
