“I watched Nina's Valentine concert with my Mom's secretary! Haha, that was six years ago. Pathetic."
- Lenni, 25

“My husband and I decided not to go out and cook for each other on Valentine’s Day for a change. I decided to make some carbonara, while he decided to cook beefsteak for me. The outcome? My carbonara had too much spice while the beefsteak was dry as tapa. We ended up buying food outside"
- Jomay, 29

“I commuted going home from school to prepare for our Valentine’s date that night. After two hours of preparing and [after I was] ready to go, I received a text message from my boyfriend saying that we couldn't go, since the only car left at his house was a [stick-shift]. He didn't know how to drive a manual car and didn't want to commute! Good thing we are no longer together now."
- Malia, 19

“I haven't had one yet, but I broke up with this one guy 10 days before V-day, [and] he asked if I could postpone my breaking up with him para mayroon siyang kasama on Valentine's!"

“I expected a particular person to give me flowers and ask me out. I thought my day was going to get better, with the two guys who gave me flowers during lunch and in the afternoon...I was expecting nga this guy...so I would stash the other flowers and gifts sa trunk ng car ko para di niya makita, tapos wala [siyang ginawa]. No flowers, no date, and I ended up going out with my friends. I could have gone out with either of the guys who gave me flowers and asked me out!"
