The Single Girl's Guide To Valentine's Day

I have read the latest copy of the CLEO magazine a few days ago. I read it in a hole-and-corner situation. And interestingly, an article -The Single Girl's Guide To Valentine's Day drew my attraction.

Haha, here's part of the article:

Guideline:

Think positive
The last thing you should do is slip into self-pity mode. Instead, think about all the relationship hassles you don't have to put up with anyone petty squabbles, jealous tiffs and an empty pocket after a romantic meal for two.

Make a great escape
Grab a mate and run away for the day choose any seaside town and enjoy tramping along the beach and eating ikan bakar.

Pamper yourself
Even better than a break, spoil yourself rotten with a bit of luxury without leaving your home. Try a manicure, pedicure, facial - the whole works. And a splash put on a big box of Belgian chocolates to munch as you relax. After a few hours of self-worship, you'll have forgotten the word "boyfriend" completely.

Steer well clear of Miss Smug
We all know one - the local super bod who gets 50 cards every year and can't wait to tell you about it. The way to deal with this babe is simple: avoid her for a least a week or warn her that if she doesn't belt up you'll break her pretty little kneecap.

Discover your pulling potential
Pick up some great clues about the object of your desire. After all, the droolsome barman or waiter you've your eye on must be unattached if he's working on Valentine's Day evening. So get in there and chat him up. He'll be glad of the company.

Avoid the "L" word
Gang up with your single friends and ban all boys and talk of love for the evening. If you must have any male presence, restrict it to a photo of your ex on the dartboard and a challenge to score as many bull's-eyes as possible.

Forget the ex-factor
Don't be tempted to ring him and suggest getting together "for old times' sake".
If you don't spend the night ripping each other to pieces, you can bet your life you'll spend it in bed! It might ease the loneliness at the time, but in the light of the day with a sober head and Valentine's Day just a distant memory, you'll be hating yourself and each other (again) in no time.

Call in friendly favours
Ask everyone you know to send you a card, get your best friend's brother to pose as a mystery admirer and ring you a t work all day, and bully your sexy male flatmate into meeting you outside the office with a bunch of flowers. So, what if it's all a fix?
Just reminding yourself that these guys care will probably leave you feeling more loved the memory of any part beau does.

And if you can't beat em', join em'
Never underestimate the power of Valentine's. Scribble out a truck-load, send them to everyone you've ever fancied - not being too mysterious - and then wait for the phone to ring.At the very least you'll get a couple of flattered response and you might just get a date with the boy of your dreams.

Fall in love with yourself
However you decide to spend the day, you'll probably discover that you're the only company you really need anyway. So go on write the first Valentine's and send iy to yourself!



p/s:
On this "meaningful" day, I indeed wanna make a great escape. Thanks to one of my sis members for giving me a chance to spend the day with her. Haha... It is her red egg's day!!! And what a coincidence, I am also going to eat "fish" plus chip ( not ikan bakar ) with her near the bay.
By the way, we should pamper ourselves too. So, go for the coffeebean too. ^^ Not to say to do what cure what cure, a cup of hot coffee is enough to comfort me. HEHEHE.
There, we also can discover our pulling potential. However, I'm sure you'll be the cynosure of all eyes. This is what you hope for, right? Haha, get what I mean?
