I HATE VALENTINE"S DAY

I probably have a history of having the worst Valentine's Days ever. In my 26 years of existence, I have had only 1 year of actually ever being with someone on that date. There was one year when I was stuck in the office finishing work. Another year where I was too depressed to go out so I ended up just going home and getting drunk after work. For typical year though, I spend most of my time hiding at home and avoiding any phone calls from friends.

I don't know why. I have no problem with my current status. I'm single not simply because of circumstances, but also because it's a choice I made. But I swear I just hate Valentine's Day. It's the one day of the year when I feel really alone. I walk in the malls and I see couples holding hands or girls carrying flowers. It's not as if I don't see that every other day of the year, but I guess it's highlighted on that date.

So what did I do this year? Well, since I work on the night shift, I really don't have a choice but to go to the office. The good thing is, I have a valid excuse not to be out that night. However, I still have to have dinner anyway and having no food in the house, I have to go to the mall. So I ended up dragging myself to Shangri-la Mall. That's when I decided to treat myself to a good dinner. I went to Sugarhouse and ordered something called Two Pigs in a Blanket, which is basically a sausage sandwich. Afterwards, I capped off the meal with a delicious Turtle Pie, which is a chocolate cake with a caramel base. Not content, I bought a Chicken Florentine meal for my midnight snack in the office.

At around 8 PM, I made my way to the office which is about 2 blocks away from the mall. With a full stomach, I didn't feel so sad anymore. Gosh, I have to go to the gym again tommorow to work off all the calories again.:)
