So, how was your Valentine’s Day celebration? Memorable and romantic (I hope!).
Some people think it’s vastly overrated, but why shouldn’t love be celebrated in a grand manner? It is after all, what makes the world go ‘round, isn’t it? Wouldn’t this be a dreary world if we didn’t have love to keep us going?
Bacolodnons celebrated Valentine’s Day with a bang as usual. This was a special day for the WOW ladies, who held a most successful bloodletting activity at the Amity HQ in Hilado Street, Shopping Center, in partnership with the GMA Kapuso TV Network.
The place was bustling with activity as a huge number of donors came to donate blood for a worthy cause. Vice Mayor Greg Gasataya came to give moral support to the WOW Club for this worthwhile endeavor.
The WOW ladies, led by their president, Inday Pefianco, served hot arroz caldo donated by Mely’s Garden restaurant, with freshly baked bread brought by members of the Negros Occidental Rainbow Foundation.
In the evening, traffic was practically at a standstill as most people were out for dinner with their family and loved ones.
Our group at the DAILY STAR had a special Valentine’s dinner at L’Fisher Hotel, which was offering a special international menu for the special day. The place was crowded to overflowing. Families and sweet twosomes enjoyed the gastronomic experience while romantic violins serenaded the crowd with popular love songs.
Ah, what a lovely evening it was to celebrate the day of love.*
