How To Survive Valentine Day

Hey, what’s up guys? It’s the beginning of February and you know what it means?!

FEBBRRRUUUAAARRRYYYY!

Yup. And that’s about it. Pretty much I don’t have anything to write to you guys to read (if you ever read this); but I promised myself that if I ever make a new blog I’m going to stick into writing in it, if not maybe once a month… more, the better. Nevertheless, there is something I think would be worth enough to write (and read) for this month. And it’s none other than those little brats flying around with their deadly aim of those pointy prickly bows with red heart stains. *shudders*

And if you don’t get what I’m saying, it’s VALENTINE DAY, you uncultured piece of shiitake-mushrooms. 

So...


Haha. *awkward laugh* 

Anyway, I would thought of simply write something that goes like; “The Perfect Gift” or “How To Treat Your Valentine” or “How To Ask A Date” and all those yada-yada things – but let’s be serious, it’s all too mainstream. And maybe the things I would write IS mainstream. At least I’m not writing something that I don’t really have knowledge about.

So, enough with the rambling and let’s started already. *wink*

Are you one of those people out there who don’t have a date? The ones who succumbed when someone talks or mentions Valentine? Or just really shy and afraid to ask your “future” Valentine, because she/he would reject you?

Fret no more! There’s an easy solution for it; try these 5 easy things to speed up the month and you’ll be on an easy stride.

1.     Avoid Any Public Places
Plaza Merdeka - One of the public hotspots in Kuching.
Pretty much it’s hard to avoid any hand-holding, shoulder-hugging, eye-to-eye staring couples in public. But it could be the great way to start, so you won’t be reminded that you are single. Avoid anywhere including the park and cinema. Plus, you don’t have to be disgusted by the public snogging of these couples, which makes me really hate when going to movie. Smooching everywhere. Get a room, people!

2.     Hangout With Your Friends
Throwback Thursday in 2012... And the lady taking the picture is our teacher, FYI.
If you have to go out, why not tag along with your single friends? It could be only one, or two, or three – the point is, the more the merrier. And preferably even numbers, so you all could fit in along with the people. Do things that you usually do together. Besides, you could team up with them to ruin some couple’s day. A prank, maybe? *evil laugh*

3.     Don't Be Someone Cupid
Seriously... There is no human cupid, ever. Period.
The most pathetic thing to do is being one’s cupid. Especially if you trying to cupid your crush with someone she/he likes. It's a big NO-NO! Girl, this isn't shipping game you're playing. Unless you are a matchmaker who gain profits, there are literally many things you can do besides matching people up. And P.S., if you don't know what “shipping” is, it isn't shipping ship.

4.     Spend Time With Your Loved Ones
One of my family gatherings... Don't worry, I have more of this coming.
Okay. Let’s be clear here. When I say loved ones, I don't mean your imaginary boyfriend/girlfriend. And loved ones doesn't literally means them only. It means your family; your father, your mother, your sister and brother, and why not everyone in the family group. And for good sake, your friends too. Instead of drowning yourself with frustration having no date for Valentine, do something with them. Like family gathering, celebrating birthdays. Or I can whip your ass, if you don’t.

5.     Treat Yourself
Bought at least 2 dozens of these chocolate the last time I was in Labuan. MYR 8.80 for 3 is quite a bargain for me.
Yup, you read that right! Treat yourself with as much chocolates as you want. Buy yourself new clothes, perfumes, teddy bears and so-what-not; whatever you like! You don't have to worry if it’s cheap or not, or she/he would like the gift you bought for them. It’s your money. Spend something more on yourself. If not, save it! You know how much price has hiked this year. *grunts*

And one more to add…

6.     Don't Give A Fuck
Thanks for the finger. Now I know where to use this. *evil laugh*
I’m saving this for the other rage post, but I guess this would fit perfectly here. February is just the normal month you are going through. And so does, Valentine Day. It's just a day and 14th February is just a date. Why would you be so care with those? It could be special to the couples; your friend with her/his partner, your parents (I guess, like mine is) – but if you are not in relationship, or maybe you are but you don’t want to acknowledge it, just don’t give a single fuck. Easy. You have other important shit to handle with, whatever it might be. Or you can just – I don't know – do your hobby!

So, that’s the 5 easy things to do to make your time worthwhile for this month. And with the extra tip, what can be that hard to cope? Though I find it easier to just skip to #6, but hey, maybe you need an extra-long post to read to waste your time. And if I did successfully do that, you’re welcome. *wink*

With this I sum up my post, and why not leave a comment below of what you think of Valentine Day or Month or what-ever it is. P.S. It’s my birthday tomorrow, on February 2nd. I’ll be very grateful with some wishes too. :D

Regards!


Forever Alone,
