SURVIVING V-DAY AS A SINGLE

I've been without a Valentines date for a couple of years before I met my partner and believe me - I had my share of disappointments, worries and loneliness especially when Vday comes. So to help out those single ladies out there, here are some of the tips I've got to survive Valentines Day.

STAY AT HOME:
It' would be easy as Valentines Day this year falls on a Sunday. Just watch your favorite DVD or sleep all day. You need that extra energy for another busy work week tomorrow.

BLOCK COMPARISONS:
Don't spend time measuring yourself against happy couples. Remember, just because a person is partnered up on V-Day doesn't necessarily mean she's blissed out.

TURN OFF THE TV:
Made it through the day? Don' toss it all int a heart-shaped hamper by watching mushy, romantic TV shows. Rent a funny DVD instead.

GAB WITH PALS:
Commiserate with friends. It's perfectly okay to bring up your single gal pals and celebrate "Independence" instead of V-Day
