labentyms day!!

how to celebrate dreaded valentine's day when you're single (or kahit na hindi single basta hindi kasama ang jowa)...

1. work, work, work (well what the hell are we supposed to do?!)! time flies faster when you're busy.

2. have lunch with your team/unit without leaving your workplace... and yes, even while working. assign one group to bring the barbecue, another group to bring inihaw na bangus, then rice, then laing, then liempo, then lumpiang shanghai, then andok's chicken, then chopsuey, then coke, then cake, then mango float, then ice cream (4 flavors, F.I.C.). then have manong/manang set up a table so food can be arranged... then ATTACK!!!!!! eat and celebrate because... it's valentine's day eh, walang paks!

3. after the mega food fest, smoke all the busog out at Starbucks with your bestfriend while gulping down a grande iced nonfat caramel macchiato. yan ang date! hahahaa!!

4. after work, have another food fest with your colleagues at Mang Jimmy's near UP and wolf down liempo, beef tapa, rice rice rice, and 7-up. talk about your exes.

5. joyride around UP, drive and look around dark areas, spot dating couples (hetero or homo) then sabay sabay "yiheee!!!! how romantic! bwahahahahahaha!!"

6. pay Php85 entrance fee to UP Fair. look around. people watch. see the band/s. play darts or shooting. you may want to ride the ferris wheel or "octopus", if you're up for the thrill. then leave because you will soon realize that they don't serve booze anymore unlike before, it got boring. and besides, the band that you really like to see will start playing at around 2am so, nevermind.

7. head to Tia Maria's Katipunan and drink 2 pitchers of zombie (because you were so frustrated that there are no drinks at the UP Fair). Don't forget to toast to the ocassion ("happy labentayms!!").

8. head home. sleep at 3am because you still have to wake up at 6am the following day to go to work.

*well, yeah, most people might be bored to death if they follow the above instructions. but if they were someone like me (the uncle scrooge of valentine's day), they might find themselves having fun. because i did. Ü
