Month of Love

 Valentine's Day is a special occasion where people express love and affection to their loved ones. It's a day filled with sweet treats, romantic gestures, and quality time with that special someone. Whether you're single, married, or somewhere in between, Valentine's Day is a celebration of love in all its forms. From candlelit dinners to thoughtful gifts, people go all out to make their loved ones feel special. Even if you're flying solo, it's still a day to treat yourself and celebrate self-love. 

I honor this to the love of my life, Russel. Last Valentine's I didn't expected anything from him, because I thought for him valentine's is just a normal day, since we are far from each other. But distance isn't a hindrance for you to show your love for that person, if you really love that person. I received a long sweet messaged from him when the clock hits 12 am on midnight. He sent me a love message through online, I really appreciated it. Because for me efforts are still important.

This is also an appreciation blog post for Russel because of the efforts, patience and gifts that he gave. I appreciate him for always understanding my mood swings and all. To Russel know that I love you with all my heart, wishing you a healthy mind and positive energy. Thank you so much for all the efforts loml ❤️❤️❤️

I went to watch the different singers who went to Vigan City to perform. I enjoyed watching the concert since I saw the guy whom I wished to see, which is Arthur Nery, I love Arthur Nery. I also saw Yeng Constantino, she had a lot of energy and I had a fun jamming to her songs. Also the band called fitterkarma since 2 of their songs are my favorite entirled as kalapastangan and kanibalismo. Adie and Earl Agustin also performed with their fantastic voices.
