Alone but not Lonely at Valentine’s

My friends have been joking who I’m dating at Valentine’s Day, and my reply would be always “Mag isa lang ako ng Valentine’s”. Seems my answer doesn’t please them so may follow up question pa rin. “Bakit hindi kayo magkasama ni PJ?” (PJ is the latest crush) and what about the one we met in the coffee shop? (kahit ilang pressure nila sa akin, ang taga coffee shop is just a friend).
This year I’m alone at Valentine’s – alone but not Lonely.
I admit, I’m totally inggit sa mga couples who are celebrating Valentine’s Day. But I’m not asking anybody out to dinner just for the sake of having a Valentine’s Date. I haven’t reached that State of Desperation yet. And besides, hindi nga ako sure if ever PJ would say yes if I ask for a dinner date. Baka mamaya huminde, eh di napahiya pa ako. Kawawa naman ako. Si Coffee Shop Buddy naman nagsabi na mag off daw siya ng Valentine’s Day. Sabi ko lang ahhhh. With a pause. Then I changed the subject.
Being alone, doesn’t have to be lonely naman di ba? I have movies to watch, laundry to do, carpet that needs vacuuming. Naghihintay ang recently downloaded Randy Blue Library to be watched. Ay wag pala, baka lalo akong mangulila. Change tactics, mag rosaryo na lang pala ako.
