A Valentine’s Day Special: The not so usual!

You thought this was going to be a lovey-dovey one? Jokes on you!

This one is for the Singulars on how to survive Valentines’s day.

Dearest Singlet,

I know we (yes, we because I belong) all agreed to ruining the confused fellows’(relationship peeps) Valentine’s day and separating them before the end of the day, but right now, I think I’ve come up with better ways for us to survive the day without looking like bitter, sad, lonely and jobless folks.

the initial plan

See for yourself which one rocks your boat:

1.       Invite friends over:

Try to invite some of your friends, who have the same predicament as you, over for some fun. Have plenty food, drinks and a plethora of games. Trust me, this is much easier to pull off than separating two finished fellows without breaking a leg.

2.       See movies and listen to music:

Depending on your taste, see movies and listen to songs on how hearts are broken or how people find true love and be happy. I would have dropped some blockbusters, but this is not a paid ad! (just kidding)- try listening to “Thunder Fire You” by Rick Hassani  or “Need You” by Fireboy DML, on repeat and thank me later.

3.       Take yourself out:

Do yourself and the Singlets Association of Nigeria a favor today, and dress up, look nice, smell good and step out. Go on a solo date looking all glammed up and let the confused ones know what they’re missing on this side of the coin. You sef deserve to be happy!

4.       Plan a surprise for yourself:

Order some cake, a bouquet and something you’ve always wanted, set up camera and smile with your gifts. That is the most legit and definitely the cleanest way to not be moved by the pressure.

5.       Find yourself some loving:

Who says you have to receive a valentine’s love note? Call your mummy and daddy and let them tell you how much they love you. Talk to God and see how much he loves you. Read your bible (as it applies), Apostle Paul had great foresight and so he did justice.

6.       Read your book:

If after all the cheats above, you’re still not satisfied, at this point, it is expedient for me to let you know that it’s time for you to be on your way to the library to read your books for your exams. Console yourself with the fact that your colleagues are wasting their time on frivolities.

Now, I understand that these few points of mine might  just not be it for you, so I’ll jejely leave you to your original plan and say a prayer or two for you to return from your mission in good shape.
