It's the LOVE MONTH!

Valentine Trivia :

  • In the middle Ages, people believed that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex you meet on the morning of St. Valentine's Day would become your spouse. (Waaah buti na lang ibang age na tayo ngayon)
  • It wasn't until 1537 that St. Valentine's Day was declared an official holiday. England's King Henry VIII declared February 14th a holiday in 1537 for the first time.
  • In Brazil, there is no such day as Valentine's Day. Instead, on June 12, "Dia dos Namorados" (lit. "Day of the enamored", or "Boyfriend's/Girlfriend's Day") is celebrated. On this day, boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives, exchange gifts (lingerie, chocolates, and more), cards and usually a flower bouquet. This day is chosen probably because it is one day before the Saint Anthony's day, there known as the marriage saint, when many single women perform popular rituals in order to find a good husband (or, more modernly at least a boyfriend).

So many others... Need not place them all here.
