So how was your own Valentine's Day celebration yesterday? Was it beautiful and magical as you wanted it to be? Ahhh, the Day of Love! This is the time of year when lovers get silly and romantic. Some say it with flowers, others with candy; while the gallant ones give jewelry and precious gifts.
The beauty of love has been immortalized in love stories the world over. Being a hopeless romantic, I have my own collection of love stories and poems which I have treasured through the years. But my favorite happens to be a poem written by King Edward VIII, the British monarch who gave up his throne for the woman he loved. Their story has been told and retold in countless books, magazines and the movies. The king was so hopelessly in love with the American divorcee Wallis Simpson, that he even wrote a poem for her:
"My friend, with thee to live alone Methinks tis better than to own,
A crown, a scepter and a throne"

It's been a round of parties given by Rich Loveland, of TelePerformance for their guests recently. There was a Fellowship Night for the I.T Schools Network of Negros Occidental held at MO2 Annex.
What a swinging affair it was! At the height of the fun night, Raymund Sabay of UNO-R, challenged Rich Loveland to a game of 8 Ball Billiards. (Don't ask who won - US or Phil!). Seen enjoying the evening were Che Londres of Star of Asia, who came with hubby Paul. Also there was Cesar Tianonoy of X-El Magazine who exchanged pleasantries with Councilor Jocele Batapa-Sigue and hubby Arnel.
Another shindig hosted by the company was for the Bacolod City Hall Press Corp. Again, Rich Loveland made sure everyone was having a ball. On hand to help him welcome company officers Paul Felton, Sharon Cabral and Bazil Abrire. The guests headed by Elsie Jolingan, City PIO, enjoyed the delicious food and had so much fun. Wotta night!*
