Day in the Life of Candy
Single or coupled?
So who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? Those who are Single or those who are Coupled?
“Couples, of course!” Nicole said, enthusiastically. “Why, you fall in love all over again! Flowers in the morning, sweet messages throughout the day, a romantic dinner, and a Valentine’s gift to cap it off.”
“On the contrary,” Jill countered, “Valentine’s is not just about romantic love. It’s about celebrating love in all its forms. I can have a fab dinner with my friends or family and have as much fun as you.”
I thought back:
To those Valentine’s days spent single—doubled over in laughter with my friends, being silly, eating at a restaurant, or hitting the videoke. The bonding, the good vibes, the company. Those days were a blast.
Fast forward to Carlo’s and my first Valentine’s Day as a couple! Waking up to a call from him, those three long-stemmed roses, and, gosh, what a dinner date! The ambience, the mood, the candlelight, and the love of my life. It was perfect, I was transfixed!
“Well?” Nicole’s and Anne’s voice broke my reverie.
Who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? You tell me.

couples..!! for me.. i celebrated my valentines day with my crush.. he went to my house and gave me a letter and a cute teddy bear. awesome! now,he’s my boyfriend..hehehe
February 21st, 2007 at 12:39 pm
well… valentine’s aren’t meant for couples only… i celebrated my valentine’s day with my dad.
it isn’t that bad anyway.. so who says valentine’s aren’t celebrated by singles? the point is that you
celebrated it with the person whom you love.. not only your boyfriends/girlfriends but also your
family..:)

Valentine’s day will be so special if you will celebrate it with your loved ones, either with your family or
friend.. The feeling willjust be the same..
March 8th, 2007 at 10:25 am
uhm,,for me? it really depends..=)
I was contented celebrating valentines day with my friends from the time that I “was” single. We had fun spending time with each other.
Then, when I had my share of relationships, specially with the one I have now, (Louie), whew! that was fun too. Last Valetines Day was a busy
day for me. My schedule was hectic. I was the new secretary of Cradle (performing group of our school) and we were busy arranging harana
service for other people, then we have many projects and term papers to do. The sweet part was, little did I know, he planned a “harana”
for me. All the pressure and stress were replaced of joy and a good feeling inside. LOL. Plus, he stayed with me and helped me with my papers.
What a sweet boyfriend he really is. I’m lucky, so is he..LOL
Well, maybe it won’t really matter if which is more fun. What’s important is we’re all loving. And we love the season.=)
March 8th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
i think it’s fun for both singles and couples.
but i wouldn’t know, i’ve never been in a relationship before.

My Valentine’s was such a bore. Haha. It has always been(romantically). Haha.
But it didnt stop me from enjoying the day as a singleton, you know.
PS: I missed the Jan-Feb ish, Katie! I wasnt able to read you entry until today.
March 11th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

flowers for our parents.
March 12th, 2007 at 11:43 am

March 19th, 2007 at 7:29 pm

Singles have more fun!
March 28th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
Couples… It would be having so much fun to hang out with the person whom you love most…
It would every sweet and fun to share this wonderful day to him.. I remember last year aperson gave
me flowers and that is really romantic
April 7th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re with people you love, friends, family, or boyfriend.ü
April 7th, 2007 at 8:19 pm
singles have MORE fun! we have endless talks and we can sigh for our crushes when they pass by - without having someone throw us some minding looks. haha. take that!
April 8th, 2007 at 8:42 pm
whichever. as Long as you’re happy on that day and you’re fuLL of Love…
April 9th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
aw… i can definitely say that it is happier when your coupled…
not just you’ll be awaken by a phone call and cheesy greetings from your one-and-only,
being coupled makes you feel special and loved.
i can say that ’cause mend my boyfriend just broke up before
the supposed ‘anniversary-valentine’s day-date’
how sad.
April 10th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
well..i celebrated the past vALentines day with my friends.. we just had fun, sang in the karaoke, ate a
lot and laughed a lot..:) eventhough we all had no roses to preserve and no presents to open it
still seemed like a perfect valentine day for me:)
April 12th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
hmm.. i really don’t know how it feels to spend valentine’s day with a bf.. i have had bfs..
but it’s quite a coincidence, i must say, because i never really had the chance to spend the
special day with them.. my 1st.. well, he was off to a basketball tournament on that very
day.. my 2nd.. hmm.. he was in cebu minding his own life [i dunno].. and last Feb 14, 2007,,
i locked myself in my room.. and i thought to myself, maybe valentine’s aren’t just for me..
hmmmmm… but i don’t know..

singles. because you wont feel bad when your partner forgets to bring you out because its valentines. in the case if he doesnt, it’s boring to stick to one person throughout the day.
May 30th, 2007 at 12:28 am
i spent my valentines with my friends and the guy i really liked..
he went to my house with roses and chocolates…i could say that it was the most memorable
valentines ive ever had..=)
May 31st, 2007 at 2:14 pm
I spent my Valentines day with my crush. he gave me a bunch of roses
heehee. Nice story.
June 9th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
valentine’s day doesnt have to be so ideal, the most important thing is that you make it as real as it can be…
June 10th, 2007 at 7:52 pm
It doesn’t really depend if you’re single or coupled… the real deal is you spend valentines or any occassions with the people you love and the people who values you back as well…
June 27th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
For Me…more fun if your still single…at least,you can do everything more fun..than have couples.Coz if u rather be couples…it’s fun at first,but when u get married and have babies…u can’t njoy your life alone!so for me single.
July 4th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
for me it would be a mixture of both…you can celebrate valentines day with your friends nd family…they can anyway make that event so memorable and with whom you know will never break up with you and stick with you forever, but what is valentines day for…basically talaga it is for lovers and honesly, it can not be complete for others without knowing that there will be someone to celebrate with
July 6th, 2007 at 9:06 am
well,,it would be up to the people to enjoy their Valentine’s Day celeb…it’s a day of being able to have fun(with limitation)..,single people could celebrate the day in a different way from the coupled ones…we have different perspective..,what matters most is that you were able to show your love to the people whom you want to show it!^_^
July 6th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
i aM singLe..bUt fOr mE,,iTs much sWeeTer if u’LL ceLebrAtE v-day with a pArTnEr..
July 12th, 2007 at 3:56 am
it’s fun celebrating it with your bf/gf cause you get to be extra giddy and cheesy all in one day..but i think the most important thing is whether you’re single or taken,spending that day with the person you love(parents,friends,lovers,etc.) and giving the love back to the people you care about is more than enough to make it a special day.i love valentine’s day..i get to be extra ’sweet’ to my friends and family without being called a cheeseball.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm
it depends on the person you will be asked..
of course if she/he is single then singles
for the lovers..then couples..
its a logic you know
August 31st, 2007 at 9:11 pm
AhmMm,,,its nice to be single,,you will not worry about your partner but then during the time of valentines day its nice to have someone,,char!
September 2nd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
…Couples….
u can enjoy valentine’s day w/ ur Bf/gf…
kilig ka pa…
September 16th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
couples of course…
when i have no guy to celebr8 valentines with, feb. 14 is not a big deal…
but when i had a guy on dat d8, well… everything spells happiness…
BUT, when valentines came n we olredy broke off… it was AWFUL… T_T
October 9th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
the one has more fun is the couples. Valentines is not only celebrated to the love of partners but also in love of all forms as said in the entry. but valentines is usually the sweetest moment for couples. It might be the time where they express to each other how much they love themselves and everything. Singles do enjoy in Valentines day, it’s not big deal, they can go out with their friends and have some fun. but on the other hand, i would like to say that sometimes it would be better if you’re with someone special.
(hayy…i imagine how miserable i am when my bf didn’t do something so we can communicate to each other during last valentinesT.T)
October 14th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
couples… that’s what i think. Valentines Day for me is all about the hearts. All for the love… ^.^ and the sweetness. In our school, there were people who were so desperate to get someone to like them. There was even one couple who was so into each other… when the teachers weren’t looking. And my friend received about 2 dozen roses… two from each boy. As i see it, the couples have more fun…
and the singles? all they can do is watch…
October 21st, 2007 at 11:42 am
valentines day are both meant for single or coupled,
there are friends that would be there for you and celebrate,,
valentines day is such a happy day to think and express love,
that’s why for me,
it doesn’t matter if you’re single or coupled.
p.s. Just have fun!!
~~!!JaDe!!~~
November 12th, 2007 at 8:55 pm
a little of both!! because part of that day is spent with my girlfriends and the other part is spent with that someone. but reslly? i dont know. i had fun last V-day with my buds…because we kid around at how pathetic it could have been like if we had to spend it alone :p
December 23rd, 2007 at 11:53 am
hmm for me.. it would be more better if we are coupled bcuz it can make our valentines day unforgetable one especially when you are with your boyfriend!! wooo!! super kilig talaga to the max..
January 24th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Hmmm…Who says Valentine’s Day is only for “couples”? I love celebrating that day most likely with my family!!! =) I love our bonding together with my sibs! Chit-chatting with mom & dad about my day in school, making funny faces with my sibs & taking pictures with it!, dancing with our favorite “sib song!” & singing our hearts out! Making mom & dad happy! That’s what Valentine’s Day is all about! Making family ties closer together…**winks**
February 12th, 2008 at 2:34 am
both!!!i love 2 have fun either with friends of with my bf(i dnt hv 1 ryt now)haha
February 29th, 2008 at 7:56 am
