How Do Filipinos in Hong Kong Celebrate Valentine’s Day

Today, we celebrate Valentine’s day. It’s a time of year when people
all over the world gets so romantic. To us Filipinos in Hong Kong, we
do feel the same. Unfortunately, not all us here have our love ones
with us.

Yet, we still find time, in spite of our busy schedule of work and
activities, to express our romantic feelings to them. Some would
send greeting cards, flowers and gifts, while others simply spend
few minutes thru IDD just to say “I love You” to their spouses
and children.

It’s like singing a song of Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Call To Say
I Love You” or Sheena Easton’s “Telephone” by long distance
lovers.

In Philippines, Valentine’s Day is the busiest day, next to Christmas.
It’s the time when most restaurants, movies and even hotels are fully
booked. Here in Hong Kong, you also place booking or you’ll end up
your date in MacDonlads or Seven Eleven.

To all kabayans in Hong Kong, Happy Valentines Day!
