Where To Spend The Perfect Valentine’s Date
Make February 14 fun, exciting and different
February is here once again and it’s been called the love month for a lot of reasons. But while the season is usually associated with doing all things romantic, there are no rules that say it can’t be celebrated with family, friends and workmates, too. As long as you celebrate the love (no matter what type or shape it comes in), you’re pretty much good to go.
But if you’re running out of ideas for where to go and what to do, this list should save you from your worries.
Go surfing in Baler or La Union

Baler and La Union have become two of the hottest surfing locations in the Philippines. Like with all beaches, you can enjoy the sand, sunbathing and on-the-sand activities, but learning how to surf (if you don’t already know how) will make for an unforgettable experience.
Have a relaxing staycation

For a little more adventure and a whole lot of adrenalin-induced fun, then drop by one of Manila’s firing ranges. It’s quickly becoming a popular date-idea; you’ll need to fire just one shot and you’ll understand why.
Or try your hands at archery

Some might consider archery as a more out-of-the-box Valentine’s activity, but that does not mean you shouldn’t try your hand at it. You’ll learn a new skill, get your hands dirty and learn more about the people you take with you. Make it extra exciting but putting a wager on things: whoever misses the mark the most times buys merienda.
Go on a museum tour

Sometimes going old school isn’t dull or boring; sometimes it’s exactly what we need. Visiting a museum can scratch that itch for a little bit of history and will definitely fulfill your hunger for some culture.
Grab a mic or visit an arcade

Speaking about old-school, why not relive your childhood days and get your hands on some arcade games? Or, if you prefer to be a little more creative, pretend like you’re living out your pop star dreams in karaoke? You’ll have plenty of games and songs to choose from, no matter what preferences your group or significant other have.
No matter what you decide to do or where you end up going, it’s the thought of celebrating the day with the people you really love—as cheesy and overrated as that sounds. Plan your day nicely and put meaning behind the seemingly mundane things you do.
