Singles top 10...

well, i should write something about valentines day..i dont know why, but something in my mind tells me i should..i wish i could tell you the wonderful things that i have planned for that day, like a romantic date or something..but alas, i dont have any plans..

so i was reading the paper, getting some ideas on how to start this post..shucks even the broadsheets are getting into this thing..pages full of features about the perfect date etc..heck, even friendster has changed its layout for the season..man, maybe im just a bit upset..whiny all of a sudden..

i came across this article..its kinda funny..ive edited it a bit, put my insights in it too..so here it goes:

Are you spending valentines day alone?? sucks, doesnt it? but for some it really is no big deal-or so they pretend. once again the whole world has conspired to make you feel even by highlighting the fact that your gonna be quite lonely, especially this day when most of the people has plans for only just two..

alright, lets say youre one of these people who are absolutely affected when valentines day rolls by. to put it succintly, "do something". here is the top 10 things you can do:

1. take a cold, cold shower
-nothing beats a quiet moment when the ice cold shower is at full blast, masking the tears running down your cheeks. take a moment to reflect on all the sad relationships youve had as you assume the fetal position on the floor while sucking on your thumb.

2. write a letter to the government
-show your outrage at the many value added taxes being levied by the government on various consumer products. let it be known how you "really" feel about the illegal logging activities plaguing the country. address it to the president and dont forget to sign and seal your envelope with S.W.A.K(sealed with a kiss)

3. have chocolates and/or flowers delivered to yourself at the office or at home
-if no one does it for you, you have got to take charge. go to the nearest florist and arrange to send that loot to yourself. once youve written your "own name" as the recipient, finish it off with, "from you secret admirer xoxo"
for added effect, come in 10 minutes after the scheduled delivery so a secretary or co-worker signs for it. st back and enjoy the ego boost.

4. call up a radio dj
- "ikaw bay nalolongkot at walang makaosap" theres nothing like a good song to set the mood. calling a radio dj serves many purposes. one is you can request a song that will get you through the night and second, youre talking to someone who may just be equally pissed at having to work on valentines when he could be getting some instead. so, go forth and dial

5. go online
- a safe haven for anonymous people everywhere, the internet has made it easier to hook up with other singles in the area or across the world. and, oh yeah, you can finally live out those foul and sordid fantasies youve bottled up inside from years of being a prude. be carefel of the webcam though..

6 play video games
-heres a nice chance to catch up with all the video games youve neglected to play.

7. pig out
-lets face it if you cant share the day with someone, it will be all about "you". this is your oppurtunity for some "me" time. get food that will absolutely kill you in the evening. quail eggs, chicharon, burgers, mayonnaise and all the crazy stuff. have a diet coke in had because you wouldnt want to get fat, right??

8. clean your room
- now that you have nothing else to do,heres a chance to clean your room once in awhile.

9. read a book/ watch a movie
-fix yourself a glass of tea and curl up to a good book. you wont even notice time passing you by. or better yet have a movie marathon. if youre lucky, v-day would have come and gone like the fleeting prose of ernest hemmingway, before he blew his brains out. if you stil feel the blues, then go do #10

10. go out with friends/hang out with family
-of course nothing beats having some quality time with the people who loves you..you can call up some "single like you" friends and spending the day. together, you can make a perch atop the highest building and pelt the couples with pebbles on the sidewalk below
