How to survive Valentine's day being single

Single and alone?
Tired of spending Valentine's day alone every freakin' year?
Sick of watching couples being all lovey dovey?
Lucky for you..
I've listed down the 3 things you can do on the day, things you shouldn't do and alternative ways to spend the all too overrated day.

1. 3 things.
Chocolate, ice cream and champagne.
It is proven that chocolate is the best therapeutic method for broken hearts so it might as well also help you lonely despos out there. =) No offense
I feel all better just looking at it.
Who cares if you'll gain a gazillion pounds!
You deserve a break!
If that isn't called heaven I dunno what is.
2. Pamper yourself.
Spend the day at a spa.
Buy yourself something nice.
It's your day.
Since you're not spending money on your man, then you should spend the money on yourself!
Get yourself a new dress and some flowers.
3. Call out your BFFs(the single ones of course)
Get in your new dress and have a night out with your friends.
Bust some moves on the dance floor.
And flirt with the guys in the next table.
However if you wanna score some numbers from hot guys, you should choose your crowd wisely.
Nobody will even wanna talk to you if you're hanging out with these people..
You don't necessarily have to go clubbing though, especially if you're under-aged.
You can go shopping, bowling, karaoke-ing, dinner at a fancy restaurant or manhunting!
Do invite me if you do~ =)
If you and your BFFs aren't feeling pumped out on going out, spend the day at home together. Gossip about your bitch neighbour, manicures and pedicures, chick flicks, horror movie, homemade masks or get fat together!
Order in pizza and junk food.
Or you can always have a glamorous pillow fight with your girls.
Whatever you do, don't do these in the following.
1. Spend Valentine's day with your family.
How bored can you be?
Let your parents have their time together.

2. Watch a movie alone in public.
It's just pathetic. Imagine yourself surrounded by couples who are snuggling up each other when you're overdosing yourself with popcorn and coke.

3. Organize a Secret Admirers Single Girl's gift session a' la Santa. Get a group of girls together and draw names out of a hat. Then deliver things like, chocolate, her fav movie, teddybears, or other special things that you know she'd like.
I found that in some website.
Who would wanna do that?
Wouldn't you wanna spend money on yourself?

Alternative ways to spend Valentine's day
1. Read a book.
Hopefully you'll black out and forget about spending the whole day alone.

2. Make it your spring cleaning day.
Have you looked at the floor tiles in your shower lately? It's as black as the loneliness in your soul. Get some detergent and scrub like you never scrubbed before!

3. Spend the whole day in front of your computer.
Listen to 'Pink - so what' over and over again. Found this playlist online.
90's music is surprisingly therapeutic at times like these. Recommended:
Nirvana- Bleach (gimme back my alcohol!)
Everclear- So Much for the Afterglow (I don't wanna be normal like you!)
Hole- Live Through This (someday you will ache like I ache!)
Rage Against the Machine- Rage Against the Machine (eff you, I won't do what you tell me!)
They Might Be Giants- John Henry (why must I be sad?)
Beastie Boys- Ill Communication (suh-suh-suh so listen now 'cause you can't say nothin'!)
White Stripes- White Stripes (stop breaking down!)
Jane's Addiction- Ritual De Lo Habitual (took the pain!)
Pearl Jam- Vs (get out of my effing face!)
Liz Phair- Exile in Guyville (not recommended for men!)
Dr. Dre- The Chronic (like this and like that!)
The Breeders- Last Splash (if you're so special, why aren't you dead?)

Blog about how miserable you are.
Watch some porn if you like.
Sign yourself up in some online dating sites.
Play online games.
Chat with friends online who are as equally miserable as you.
Photoshop your ex boyfriends until they look like Michael Jackson.
Rewatch Kevjumba's videos.


Valentines, schmalentines.
It's overrated. Just like CNY and Christmas. LOL
I'm the Scrooge of everything.
If you really can't accept the truth that you're miserably single and lonely and you don't wanna remember how you spend Valentine's, you can always tear the Feb page from the calendar.
Just don't acknowledge the day at all.
I hope this post helped.
Do tell me how your Valentine's day went.
