I passed by the City Chain branch days before Valentines Day. I see the shop is in full swing in prepration for Hearts’ Day. I caught a slogan in one of the products they are selling, “Time is Love”. I couldn’t help but agree. There is nothing more precious than time. No amount of roses, chocolates, teddy bears or cards can compensate the value of Time. They say if you love someone, you always have time for them. How true! No matter how busy you are, if someone is important to you, you will always squeeze in quality time to be with them. Nothing makes you feel loved when someone makes you a priority in his time. The funny thing about time is that it can never be taken back or else the opportunity will be gone. We often say, time flies. It does. It is a fact that we must be aware of.

This Valentines Day, I took this pre-valentines musing to heart. I intend to spend my quality time with the people that I love. Since currently I am with my parents, my son and my relatives here in the Philippines, we planned to spend our Valentines Day at the beach and stay overnight at the resort. Since it was a Sunday, we went for mass first then soon after, we changed to our beach clothes, brought our homecooked foods & swimwears and head to the beach. Though it was a drizzling Valentines Day, it didn’t stop us from having fun. We are a family who loves food, long conversations & lots of laughter and that is just what we did on that day. My 1 year old son was so happy running around and playing at the beach. As the dusk set in, we headed to the resort and ate some more. We lounged in our huge resort room watching TV and talking. It was fun family Valentines Day. Who says Valentines are only for lovers?

This Valentines Day, I am far away from my hubby who is miles away from us because of work. But long distance shouldn’t be a hindrance to show how much you love someone. It was his off-day the day after Valentines Day so I organized a surprise for him. He often wake up late on his off day. So by lunch time, he headed out in our dining room and saw a box of pizza, 3 bottles of beer with a red ribbon and a card from me. Time and effort are keys to showing how much you value and love someone.
I hope you all are having a wonderful Month of Love! And always remember that Time is Love.
