The love month is here and as February 14 is approaching a lot of couples are busy thing of the best gift, best surprise, ideal date for their love ones. As the world is full of rich culture, I know thay we have different practices when it comes to celebrating the heart's day. In my country , I would observe a lot of people selling flowers especially red roses on the sidewalks , some even have teddy bears and chocolates. What I do notice on February 14 is that most of the restuarants are jammed packed with couples going on dates and the malls are filled with couples walking side by side. Some would even proposed on thay special day. Although its not an official holiday in the Philippines but a lot of couples are celebrating it. How about in your country? How is it done?

Oh but I do know that some single people would take the opportunity to take someone on date. But you are just like me , I tend to treat valentines day as a normal day but with an extra reminder not to go out if its not necessary just to avoid the traffic and the hassle made by the crowd.

Hi, I'm gonna celebrate valentines by giving chocolate flower to the my two sister in law who's taking good care of my baby and to my mother. I also ordered home made chocolate in a box for my husband. No date whatsoever since we are not really dating and I have work in the evening.

My husband and I don't make a big deal of it, but we will probably enjoy it a little more this year. At least one day that it will be just the two of us.

Well , I think its important to have a couple time once in a while not specifically dated feb 14. I guess valentines day reminds us to take the time to make our love ones special in case we forgot how because we are used to them being around us.

More or less the same way. Couples hang out together and there are decorations in all the big malls in the city.
