Alternative Ways of Celebrating Valentines Day

Love is in the air! February 14 the most a waited day for lovers, couples, girlfriends, boyfriends and the like to give important the relationship they keep over the past years they had shared together. A day where flowers and chocolates in the store are being sold, a day where restaurants and Bars are being full of customers wanted to have a place for candlelight dinner. But the question comes in my mind, do Valentines Day are being made only for those who are in love, couple, lover etc.? My answer is not! Valentines Day are made not just to fill the yearning of this people, but the purpose of Valentines is to show or to give important the universal love which the love of God to us through sacrificial love of Jesus and Mary. Manifest in the love of our parents, siblings, relative and friends and this are alternative ways of celebrating Valentines Day. A family dinner in the house or restaurants is ideal celebration for family this Valentines Day, a simple giving of cards and Flowers or if you don’t have budget words of ‘I LOVE YOU” coming from your mouth is enough to celebrate the Valentines Day. For people who are parents and family not around the best way of celebrating Valentines Day is to have group dating or an out of town gathering. Since I have no girlfriend and my family is not around I celebrated the Valentines Day with an out of town engagement. The glee club which I belong was invited to sing in Kalsangi Club in Dole Philippines, Polomolok. The whole member was excited to hear the news. The two weeks preparation that causes short sleeps was replace by a great experienced we had in Kalsangi. We are all excited because at last we will be bonding with the alumni of the club which we are all miss since they had graduated and separate from the club. Long talks, sharings, laughing and reminiscing the past while in our way to Kalsangi is what everyone treasured. It add to the experience the very successful performance we had in Kalsangi that audience hold there claps for about 20 seconds just to express there appreciation. The show was about to finished where everybody take all photos from every corner of the Clubhouse, wearing smiles and funny pausing. After the performance the celebration was continued inside the quarter that every body fined the place like a five Star hotel. When the night continued to cover by its darkness, the talks sharing and laughing also continued covered the atmosphere of the house over the bottled of beer, vodka and Brandy. It was an unforgettable Valentine celebration that happened in my life. Indeed, Valentines Day is everyone’s day young (ones and old ones) expressing the universal love given by our God to the mankind.
