Just curious.... are you the type to really HAVE to go on a date during Valentine's Day itself? Or do you do it before or after? Or do you just let it pass? What's the sweetest/ craziest thing you've done for Valentine's?

Nope, it's one of those days that traffic is one of the cause of headache, you see everybody wears red ... all the motels have promos, even restos have super high cost. But that doesn't mean I hate Valentine's Day. We celebrate it after February 14. We just don't feel celebrating it on the day itself. Anyway, each day with my hubby becomes a Valentine (hahaha kanta yun ah!)

Nope. Me and my hubby normally celebrate Valentine's a day earlier or a day ahead. We just don't want to join in with so many couples on the day itself coz all restos are packed with Valentine celebrators. Im sooo bad..i can't actually think of any crazy or sweet thing that ive done to celebrate this day. but my hubby did something sweet for me a year ago. What he did was he bought dozens of pink and white roses and three Valentine cards..surrounded our room with roses and rose petals and placed the cards on the three corners of our room where i usually go to (our bed, ourdrawer, our the cabinet).. hmmm.. now im thinking of something sweet to do for my hubby this Valentine!=)

Awww.. how sweet! I still believe that if your partner/hubby/bf does ANYTHING at all for you, be thankful! Not all men will evn lift a finger. :) Goodluck! Hope you find something creative to do! Happy Valentine's Day!

we do it either before or after, but we do celebrate it at home on the day itself...that is because we hate the traffic during that day...ohh especially in our country (philippines)..restaurants, malls,bars..everywhere it's crowded. hmmm...no craziness at all, my husband is really not into crazy stuff lol

im not really fond of valentines day but my boyfriend is really romantic and id feel bad to disappoint him so we celebrate valentines day on the day itself. he does the whole thing, chocolates, flowers, jewellery or perfume and i love him for it so i try to make it special for him too. i try to make a special dinner for him along with giving him gifts and cards so we generally have a candlelight dinner at home. we like to be in our own little world on valentines day. this year hes planning on taking me to a resort

below was a photo taken during our first valentines date as a married couple. we celebrated it on the day itself :) http://static.flickr.com/3/4815558_34430fb294_m.jpg Couldn't say its the most romantic date ever, but it was surely romantic. Last year, we celebrated our first valentine's day as a married couple in Tagaytay. We reminisced his wedding proposal sitting on the same spot at People's Park. We had bulalo for lunch near Picnic Groove and off we went to visit Residence Inn's Mini Zoo. Lastly, as the sun set, we had a scrumptious buffet dinner in Taal Vista Hotel. We never did get to dance that night despite the strings trio's serenade. We went home with warm hearts and full stomach. As of writing this entry, we still do not have any concrete plans for this year. Part of me would like to do something similar to this date, half-hoping my hubby will turn into a hopeless romantic overnight and surpisingly send me chocolates and flowers at work but I don't really want to expect anything and get disappointed ;)

Hi Kitts! Aren't you so lucky? For the 11 years we've been together even before we got maried, we haven't really celebrated VDay on the day itself. Hubby finds it.. corny. Hehehe. I actually find it really ridiculous that all prices are waaaaaay too high on the day itself.. but of course, a part of me is hoping that i'd get something. Hahahahaha. I guess it helps that my birthday is about a week away from vDay so I guess double purpose for the celebration. happy Valentine's Day!!!

We usually celebrate anyday on the week of Valentine's but not on the day itself.. most people think it's corny.. hehe.. besides, how can you even get anywhere on time? The traffic here in the Philippines is just crazy! We do not spend much on Valentine's.. only on our anniversary.. there we usually go out of town, or do something extra special..

Never :) My bday is just 2 days before valentines so we celebrate V-day on my birthday. I also make sure that I dont wear red on V-day & go home straight to avoid the V-day traffic :)
