Back when Vic and I were still a young couple, I felt that Valentine's Day was a big deal. I don't mind if I don't receive flowers. But, there has to be a special dinner. Now that we have celebrations like annniversaries and birthdays too close to Valentine's Day, I felt it unnecessary and bothersome to celebrate. With the cheesiness I see on TV and FB, it is starting to get very corny.
Honestly, I feel that Mother's Day should be given more importance. Hehehe. Well, as we mature, our priorities change. We became pratical too.
Vic and I went on a pre-VDay night out with friends. It was spent singing, drinking and catching up with friends. It was a good night that lasted till the wee hours of the following day.
On Valentine's Day, I did my usual thing. I paid the spa a visit after an early morning singing engagement. We brought the car in for some repairs. After getting things in order, we shared a special meal that comprised of steak and salad. Somehow, it felt the same yet different from my usual weekends. It was so refreshing to spend a relaxing day at home without feeling rushed and too tired.
I was glad we decided to spend it with kids, away from where the rest of the populace. We didn't get inconvenienced by the slow-moving traffic and bad restaurant service.
Sunday was spent with our extended family.
It was simple. No pretense.
