Happy “Feb-ibig” everyone, it’s a Tagalog word that combines
February and love, since February is a month of love. This blog post is not all
about bitterness and emotional issue, instead it’s the opposite though my title
shout for “Alone”.
My Facebook feed is all about bitterness this month, why? Some
reasons because they are single, no date on 14 February 2017 or they just broke
up with their love ones and etc. Why people now a days think that Valentine’s
Day is only for partners and lovers? Can we include our family and friends in
Valentine’s Day? We should be thankful that our parents, family or friends love
us unconditionally and that’s why we need to celebrate it on Valentine’s Day. But
this blog post is not all about celebration with other people, it’s all about
celebrating alone, take note! It’s not being bitter it’s a real circumstances.
Real situation, you can’t be with your family, friends,
partners or crush on Valentine’s Day because
- Your boss sent you to another planet (another
country) to attend a seminar or training.
- Your partner is working out of the country
(Seaman, Pilot, or Overseas worker and ….)
- You are working out of the country or another faraway
place
- You work night shift in a hospitality industry and
your manager don’t allow you to take a day-off or leave because you have a lot
of guest or customer.
- Your just simply single and all your friends
have a date (it’s not a good thing to be a third wheel on a Valentine’s Day,
seems awkward!)
- And many more.
Real situations and it seems that everyone think that it’s
the end of the world because they are alone on 14 of February. Wake up dude! It’s
not yet the end of the world it’s just that life has a lot of surprises that
you never expected so let’s deal with it, instead of locking yourself in the
room and wait till the day of 14th passed by lets go out and
celebrate alone. Celebrating alone is not a bad thing, it’s an opportunity to
look at yourself more and see what’s going on with your own self and it’s also
an opportunity to treat yourself once in a life time. “Hi self, how are you?”.
So, I’m so proud and excited to share with you loves my Itinerary on how to
celebrate Valentine’s Day alone.
1. Wake up with a smile and embrace the fact that
it’s Valentine’s Day and your alone, you cannot change the fact so deal with
it.
2. Go to a nice ambiance coffee shop and order a
warm and tasty coffee or if you are not a coffee drinker like me, you can order
a delicious frappe or juice. And don’t forget to order that mouthwatering crepe,
or any cakes, but I highly recommend crepe. While enjoying your coffee or
drinks take time to read and relax, or message your love ones or family a “Happy
Valentine’s Day”.
3. Go to a massage place, spa or salon and get that
relaxing pampering self-treat. You’ve been working every day and you really
need that massage or spa treatment so why not do it. Again enjoy and relax, let
loose that stress in your body and mind and aim for peace.
4. Shop till you drop! But honestly shop but don’t
shop till you get broke. Buy that top that you always wanted at the first place
or that shoes that you always stop by before you go home and see the price tag
if it goes down. Buy it now! Remember it’s your day.
5. Who says eating lunch in a fancy restaurant is
not a good choice because it’s full of love birds. Don’t think like that get
your ass off and eat at your dream restaurant, who cares if you’re alone. You’re
happy and you are celebrating with yourself, can you say No! To a delicious
meal?
6. Movies in this day is not a good choice, so go
to a place that you will enjoy the most like museums, theme park, comedy shows
and any place that has a lot of fun. Or maybe you can try to do activities like
buying a ticket to get a ride in a Hot Air balloon, paragliding, biking around
a park or any enjoyable activities.
7. And lastly, don’t forget to end your day with
a smile not because you conquer the 14 February alone, but because you enjoy
being with yourself alone.
Being alone is not a sad thing, people think like that, but
honestly is not it’s a huge opportunity to love yourself more. As what others
say, Love yourself first so you know how to love others. Am I right? I hope you
like my tips and ideas for Valentine’s Day loves and spread some love, and give
love to yourself.
Happy Valentine’s Day loves!
