For the longest time, I've believed Valentine's Day to be boycott-worthy. I've always had something unexplainable against this day. No, it was never bitterness over not having someone to hold my hand and be all cheesy with me, if that's what you're thinking. It's not that I don't think greetings and hugs from dear friends and isn't enough either. I guess it's Valentine-ness is enough reason for me to roll my eyes about anything that has to do with this dreaded day.

Things were different this Valentine's though. The winds of change were strong enough to turn my head upside down. After years of hating Valentine's Day, I finally learned to appreciate it.

The night before Valentine's Day, Cliff, David, Migs, Ogge, and I went to Dangwa (it's where you can get beautiful flowers and arrangements done at really low prices) to buy flowers for their loves. I had fun seeing all the pretty flowers in Dangwa. I bought a balloon for myself to remind me of my visit there. I realized something too - guys really would do crazy things for the girls they love. Who would go all the way to Dangwa just to get their girl flowers, spending whatever they have to offer to her? Aww... :)

I spent the night with David and Migs when we got back to Taft. I dropped by the dorm and said I wouldn't be sleeping there and put the flowers Cliff had for Kathy (more about his later) in my
room and left. I stayed over Migs' place and watched Harry Potter 4 'til I fell asleep (Cedric Diggory still takes my breath away. heehee). When I woke up, they brought me back to my dorm and I got roses from two of my favorite boys ever. I love you guys! :)

I immediately went to check on Cliff's bouquet. They looked more beautiful when I saw them - the buds had already opened up. The flowers were lovely! Kathy would love them! Sobrang kinikilig ako para sa kanila.

I met up with him in G210 and handed him the flowers. He asked me to stay because he was nervous. haha! A few days before Valentine's, he signed-up for the harana thing by the Chamber Ensemble to play Canon in Kathy's classroom. The big day finally came, and there he was - standing outside Kathy's classroom, hands shaky, but smiling like there was no tomorrow. When the song was almost over, he entered the classroom and gave Kathy the flowers. They looked so cute! I sooo wanted to hug them both, but I had to be contented with peering through the window. haha! Cliff was still shaky after, but his smile was wider than ever. Aww! :)

I don't really know how to put all these feelings into words, but I'm just so happy for all of them. Sure, the happiness I feel is waaay different from theirs, because they actually have someone special in their lives, but it's great just seeing them so happy!

I wish every Valentine's Day would turn out like this, minus the "me having no special someone to share it with". haha!
