Singles' Awareness Day


Please be reminded that on the 14th of February, the world commemorates "Singles' Awareness Day".

We remember all the single people of the world while all others celebrate that OTHER holiday.

We have lined up the following events and activities, leading up to Singles' Awareness Day:

1) The Basics of Cross-Stitching - for beginners
2) Cross-Stitching Marathon - advanced level only (beyond 5 yrs single)
3) Analysis of Speed-dating
4) Surviving Weddings and other Family Gatherings
5) Negotiating a Blind Date
6) the EyeBall: What NOT to Expect

and much more. You are all invited to post additional topics of interest for single people.

And on the Day itself, at the same time a toothpaste brand is milking their kissing couples concept dry (Laplapaloser), we will be holding the SAD Grand Event. We will launch the new slogan for the day: IT'S OKAY TO BE S.A.D.!



i didnt start the term. picked it up from my niece from dubai. i just find it hilarious!

hey yajnat. kinda excited to be back in the singles club. hehe

CC: You ought to be the President and CEO of the club. Para true to your "corporate" moniker. =)

closet case said...

gee, mcvie. too early for me to be president of ceo. id probably elect someone who has never been attached. guess who?

read this s.a.d. here and i made a suggestion to our HR that we have a fun day in the office with that as the slogan.

we're doing it on thursday afternoon but we're thinking of including those who are attached as well - para lahat masaya.

thanks for the entry, cc. gave us another reason to have a fun time in the office. we do this a lot - at least once a month and everybody.

later today (as in 4 pm) we will have a post chinese new year, complete with costume.

by the way, hope you're getting by fine, cc.

cheers.

You know I always wanted to learn how to cross-stitch. In solidarity with my single brothers and sisters, me and my bf will stay in bed all night during SAD.

hey jon. am flattered though i dont deserve credit. hahaha. that's so cute of your office to do these fun things. do you work for a BPO? and yes, im adjusting fast to being singles. (hehe)

hey john (with the h this time). thanks for choosing to stay at home during SAD. but then again, the means you'll be having SO MUCH MORE FUN. hmmmp. hehe

Huhuhuhu!!!! CC, confirmed I'm part of sad. My supposed date stood me up. Was planning pa nmn to go to that play sinta as posted by GC.

Wala bang waitlist sa blind date class????? Kung ayaw, magkano yang class na yan? Kung ayaw parin, bubulagin ko ng totoo yang mga nasa class na yan! hehe

joelmcvie said...

CC: I have to decline both positions of president and CEO since I'm already a founding father and owner of the club. OA na sa titles, di ba?

haayyy, cc. Kasi naman situationship lang kami no, may date na iba ang mokong on feb 16. Sa feb 23 pa kami magkita at manunuod ng screening ng "Daybreak" sa robinsons.

Though i'm presently in constant texting w/ another fellow blogger who has recently been single for 3 mos now. kaya lang Pure top daw sya? i wonder what does dat mean??? di pa sya kailan man na bottom???? sorry ha sobrang sensored na tong na type ko.

i just have one lingering question in my mind right now.... When can somebody say dat his a top or bottom f he has not yet experience both???? XXX... mathew1000ph@yahoo.com

Dave Ramirez said...

Is this event for real? Hahahaha!
I'd gladly come :)

Is there a booth for computer geekazoids like me? :)

hi cc, i work for an ad agency

cheers.

closet case said...

hey FBITC. how did S.A.D. turn out? sorry to hear you became a member by default. yung blind date class fully booked. =)

mcvie: founding mother...

josh: well, that's really the downside to situationships - u cant hold 'em.. and about bottoming. i can imagine that someone has real issues about the rectum and all that comes with it. and because of that, they have totally closed themselves to experiencing that.

dave: i wish it was. maybe next year?

jon: of course! it had to be an ad agency. i used to work in one myself. one of the nicest places ive worked in! everyone was just so CREATIVE. hehe, right, mcvie?
