It's the love month! If i'm not mistaken, it is one of the much awaited month of all, majorly by the teenage hipsters nowadays. (No offense meant; No bitterment involvement)

CROWDED COUPLES. Time of the year where most of the lovers were scattered in every angle you decide to turn your eyes into (Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that february's the only time where these scenes are present.) From Malls, parks, restos, bars to food stalls...Everywhere. They're everywhere. Holding hands, smacking, hugging, cuddling, cracking jokes together, having fun with each other.. Yea that's how it goes. *Insert hearts and flowers background here* *Insert a romantic song here*

May all of you, tumblristas, celebrate this month with a full megawatt smile. Remember that it does not matter whether you have a special someone or not to make the most of your valentine's with. Come on guys! Valentine's day's not just for couples. You have your parents for sure, your siblings, friends...Go out with them. Enjoy, 'cause you deserve it. Stop sitting there listening to sad songs and emoting like you have been robbed a million because you haven't got a boyfriend or girlfriend to kiss on the 14th. Oh please, grow up. Advance Happy Valentine's to y'all.

HELP

 My boyfriend (26) and I (23) have been dating for 2 years now. I moved in to his house (which he shared with his two friends) January of last year. We got a puppy and everything has been perfect since. We recently moved into our own apartment! Here is my problem...

My family goes to CT for Thanksgiving every year. My boyfriend invited himself to come along. I'm fine with this but I thought we were going to spend the holidays with our own parent. We are not married or engaged. We have talked about getting engaged within the year. He says that since he is coming to my families Thanksgiving I need to come to his families Christmas stuff (i.e. leave Christmas Eve morning and spend the next two days at his grandparents house).

He knows that Christmas Day is the most important day of the year for my family. I told my boyfriend that I would love to go to his grandparents with him for Christmas Eve and stay until about noon on Christmas Day, then head back to my parents for our big Christmas Dinner. He says that I don't want to spend time with his family and that if we're ever going to get married I need to stay with his family.

I would really appreciate some advice on how to handle this situation...

Ang pagiging bata ay isa sa mga napakasaya, napaka-exciting at napaka-nakakamiss na  estado sa buhay  ng isang tao. Too bad, hindi lahat sa atin ay na-enjoy ang limitadong panahon na maging isang bata. At lalong I feel bad for the young  people na  sobrang minamadali ang pagtanda  at hindi man lang nila na-aappreciate ang kasiyahan na naidudulot sa kanila ng pagiging isang bata.  

Nakaka-miss yung mga araw na ang tanging sasauluhin mo lang ay ang alpabeto at ang multiplication table, kaysa sa table of elements including their chemical properties. Nakaka-miss yung mga araw na kahit simpleng laruan lang, masaya at kumpleto na ang araw mo, kaysa ngayon na hindi ka lang mabilhan ng tipo mong gadget, grabe ka kung makapag-emopunk with matching dabog at haggis gamit effects pa. Nakakamiss yung panahon na si Jollibee pa ang gustong gusto mo, na ngayon ini i-snob i-snob mo na lang kasi feeling mo pang-bata lang talaga si Jollibee.  Nakaka-miss yung mga araw na ang goal mo lang sa pagpasok ay ang matatakan ka ng five star sa kamay mo, compared to now na wala ka ng pakaelam kung palakol na ang grades mo. Nakaka-miss yung mga araw na de-hila pa yung bag mo, at may lunch bag ka pang ang laman ay zest-o na orange at sandwich na gawa ng nanay mo, kaysa ngayon na hiyang hiya ka ng magbitbit ng malaking bag at magbaon dahil hindi na ito cool para sa edad mo. Nakaka-miss yung hatid sundo ka pa ng papa o mama mo sa school, compared to now na nahihiya kang makita ka ng mga classmates mong sinusundo o ihinahatid ka pa ng parents mo.  Nakakamiss yung mga araw na hindi pa nakakahiyang mag-pigtail, compared to now na kapag nag-pigtail ka, kakantyawan ka lang ng iba. Nakaka-miss yung mga araw na hindi ka makakatulog pag hindi katabi si mama o papa mo, compared to now na ayaw mo man lang na may katabi ka sa kama mo.
