I'm recycling old post again. Pathetic. Choosing to repost than writing a new one is going to make me lose again what I had recovered two years ago. But as it is Balentayms, I don't think there is anything new I can say about the matter. This is all there is to it.
Here's something I wrote last year but edited (just a tiny bit) to adjust a time detail.

Top 10 reasons why you shouldn't waste your time greeting me on V-Day
- I don't give a damn about Valentine's Day.
- I find it corny.
- I find the sight of flower-carrying girls out on the streets hilarious.
- I believe, along with many others, that it's just an excuse for over-the-top commercialism designed to rob you of your hard-earned money.
- It's not even a national holiday so why bother?
- Bows and arrows are for archers not cupids.
- It's Kris Aquino's birthday and our TV will once again be full of "Happy Birthday, Kris!" all weekend long.
- It takes away the Chinese New Year out of February, or at least the red part of it.
- Thirteen years ago I agreed to watch Titanic with a dear friend on the condition that we go days, even a week after V-Day. He died in a car accident two days before the weekend we were supposed to go see Jack and Rose.
- I think reasons number 1 and 9 pretty much scream I DON'T HEART V-DAY.

Reason number 7 will drive me crazy. I just saw a teaser of her new show set to premiere this Monday. Good luck with that. Our evenings (or days) will never be as quiet as it was the last few months she's off hibernating, or pretending to be, whatever.
- No cellphones allowed inside the house. If you know me, you'll know.
- There is a plasma TV courtesy of the sponsor but you can't watch anything you want unless Kuya tells you you can. And if he does let you watch something, it's just Toni you see. Where's the fun in that?
- The PBB house is not internet-friendly? Gee, no YM and Facebook for you.
- Shower time is like 15 minutes. What, you're not allowed to wash your hair? A quarter of an hour? Yeah, right.
- Chocolate drink, chocolate cake or anything chocolate is no part of the daily supplies. I kinda need my sugar fix, like, everyday. Might as well announce it's the start of Lent.
- No french fries either. No chocolate and fries? That is so how to kill me softly.
- Wasn't a dormer in college so I don't know how people do it when they want some quiet time. Can you just tell them to shut the hell up?
- I wasn't one of the most obedient kids in school, why would I follow someone I can't even see? And I ask a lot of questions. I will surely piss Kuya off he'll force evict me.
- I have very low tolerance for annoying, slow, loud, messy, and eager to please people. I can almost hear it now, "Two points to Che because she doesn't talk to me." Duh.
- I am so not telegenic. People would think they're watching PBB: The Star Wars Edition.
- I don't give a damn about Valentine's Day.
- I find it corny.
- I find the sight of flower-carrying girls out on the streets hilarious.
- I believe, along with many others, that it's just an excuse for over-the-top commercialism designed to rob you of your hard-earned money.
