“OO NA AKO NA! AKO NA ANG MAG ISA<\/em>!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You may have probably recognized the line above from “English Only Please<\/strong>,” a romantic-comedy movie starring Jennylyn Mercado<\/strong> and Derek Ramsay<\/strong>. The iconic scene starts with a jeepney barker<\/em> calling out passengers<\/strong> who are alone<\/strong> and don’t have any boyfriend<\/strong>, husband<\/strong>, or family<\/strong> since only one person is needed before the ride takes off. Jennylyn’s character, upon hearing this, yells “OO NA AKO NA! AKO NA ANG MAG ISA<\/em><\/strong>!” in a fantastically funny delivery that made this scene quite memorable<\/strong> for Filipino movie-goers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, what do you do in this kind of situation? What activities<\/strong> can single people<\/strong> do on February 14<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play a video game.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s kind of a bummer how it’s still unsafe to go outside and take some walks all by yourself. What you can actually do is explore worlds and go on adventures virtually <\/strong>with some video games! Check out awesome deals on Steam<\/strong> and free games<\/strong> from the Epic Games Store<\/strong> prior to Valentine’s Day. If you’re a mobile player<\/strong>, we highly recommend trying out Genshin Impact<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamper yourself.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Self-love is really important nowadays, and one thing you can do to treat yourself<\/strong> is by going to a relaxing spa session.<\/strong> Go get that full body massage and scrub<\/strong>, you deserve it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re on a budget, you can always spend your money on face sheets, oils, and lotions for the ultimate DIY pamper time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to cook a dish.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cook a meal for one <\/strong>and celebrate simple joys and blessings<\/strong> you’ve recently received — getting a promotion, being healthy and alive, and being single, which some would consider a silver lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake a Basque burnt cheesecake, make your own charcuterie boards, create ramen from scratch — the possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play your favorite sport.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes, engaging in strenuous activities <\/strong>helps us forget our problems in life. If you’re really burdened by the fact that you are single this V-day, now is the perfect time to play your favorite sport<\/strong>! Who knows, you might even meet your match<\/strong>… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch a k-drama.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Korean dramas always give us hope that there’s that one person who’s destined for us,<\/strong> and it’s up to fate to toy with chances and encounters with our one true love. While these K-dramas put us into far-fetched, romantic situations<\/strong> with cheesy lines delivered by our fave actors, they make us feel good and hopeful<\/strong> that things will work out fine in the end, even if things are not how we want them to be right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
