A Day For Love

Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. We've all heard that love doesn't need a special day to be celebrated. Yet, Valentine's Day is intended to commemorate our closeness and bonds with our loved ones. It is celebrated every year on February 14. Valentine's Day is believed to have originated in Rome. The day holds strong and exciting historical importance. Aside from that, we celebrate this day every year by showing the people around us how much we love and care about them. It is a day when we all express our love for those we care about and who are very dear to us.

Valentine's Day is largely viewed as an international holiday commemorating the emotion of love. The day is significant for reasons other than being a day for lovers. It is a day to show and express our love to anyone and everyone. We sometimes neglect to express how much we adore our parents. Hence, the day is an opportunity to demonstrate our affection for our parents, family members, friends, and loved ones.

Well, if you're wondering how my Valentine's Day went, it was smooth and lovely. I wished everyone I cared about a happy Valentine's Day. I celebrated this occasion with my classmates and friends. Together with my classmates, we made a simple surprise for our teachers. We gave them a simple flower with chocolate in it. We made a letter for each of them, and we read it out loud. We also sang a lot of songs like Love Story, Perfect, Night Changes, Buko, 2002, and more. We also did a tiktok trend in which there are two papers with different choices and we let them pick one; the choices are picture or gift. If the teacher picks the choice gift, we will let them pick one of the earrings we bought for them. And if the teacher picks the picture, we will take a picture, but we will still give them the gift (kayat mi la madismaya da umuna hehe).

After school, me and my best friend, Karylle, went to McDonald's. For me, it's not a good date because we waited almost an hour for our order, and when we got our order, the chicken and fries were already cold, and the ice in the coke had already melted. While eating, we talk a lot about things like how our lives are, what's new, and more. 

After eating, we stayed at Plaza Burgos to wait for Karylle's mother. While we were waiting, two girls came to us and gave us flowers. They wished us a happy Valentine's Day. After that, they introduced themselves, and they told us what their agenda was or why they came to us. They say that they talk to people, give them flowers, and ask them if there is something they want to pray for, and they will pray for that something. We told them what we wanted to pray for, and we prayed for that. For me, that's a very wholesome moment, a very fantastic experience. For me, that's the highlight of my day.

Overall, Valentine’s Day celebrates the bond and relationship between people. Valentine's Day is all about spending time with the person you love. It is a day that teaches us how to express our love, care, and respect for everyone in our lives. It helps us feel happy about our loved ones. It also shows us the importance of the happiness we feel when we are around the ones who matter to us. The most important thing to remember is that simply expressing your love for them with heartfelt and meaningful expressions will make their day very special.
