NO date? No problem!
February has always been stereotyped as a month for lovers. The 14th day of this month becomes nothing but a curse to those who are “alone” during this moment, as they are always left looking at couples swooning over each other on the streets.
But, there’s nothing to worry about, single people out there! February can be your month as well even if you don’t have a partner to spend the day with.
Here are some of the places you could visit to take yourself out on a date:
New Lasema Spa (Lasema Jjim Jil Bang Spa and Sauna)
Are you a fan of k-drama? Well this place might just hit the right spot for you!
After a long and tiring week, you definitely deserve some “me” time to destress from the demands of your school or work.
Jjimjilbang is a traditional Korean bathhouse which is segregated by gender and has hot and cold showers, sauna, and massage areas. Many k-dramas featured this traditional place in their stories.
New Lasema Spa is not your ordinary spa. Aside from the massage they offer, this place can also make your k-drama dream into reality.
Located at 8846 Estrella Ave., Makati City, this spa became a hot spot for people who want to have quality time with their friends or even to those who just want to unwind by themselves.
Prices vary depending on the services you will get. Prices range from P500.00 to P1,688.00. The spa offers a variety of services and amenities such as jacuzzi, sauna, hot and cold shower, 60 minute full body massage, kiln, gym, entertainment area, and photobooth.
Ramen Wave
There is a very huge difference between people who are eating alone and people who are left to eat alone. For introverts, it is only natural to do things on your own, and there is nothing wrong with that!
Now, if you are looking for a place that can give you the perfect solo dining experience, then add this place on your to-visit list.
Ramen Wave does not only serve luscious and authentic Japanese food, it also provides its guests with a dining experience that lets them eat in peace without minding other people around them.
With two branches in the Metro, particularly in 240 NW Narra St. and 999 J.P. Rizal St. in Marikina City, Ramen Wave offers different Japanese comfort food such as katsu, gyudon, pork bun and their specialty, which is their ramen.
Cinema ‘76 Film Society
Long queues outside cinemas will welcome you on the 14th of February. Love birds would definitely flock to cinemas in order to watch shows together.
Instead of going to cinemas inside the malls, you can try to watch shows in micro-cinemas just like Cinema ‘76 which is situated at Tomas Morato, Quezon City.
You can enjoy watching regular screenings of local and foreign releases, award-winning favorites, cult classics and a wide variety of film and non-film events with a relatively small group of people compared to cinemas in the mall.
Cafe I’m here
After watching a film, you can always have a drink by yourself, and you might want to let caffeine intoxicate you.
Cafe I’m here is not just an ordinary cafe. It is a sanctuary for people who just want to have peace on their own. You can also bring your laptop here and work on your tasks as the place offers free wifi to its customers.
The space in this cafe is user-friendly and can be maximized as a working station or a relaxing pod. You can also order food from their menu on top of the drinks that they offer.
Cafe I’m here is located at the 3rd floor of 68 CTTM Building Timog ave. corner Tomas Morato, Brgy. Sacred Heart Quezon City. It is open from 1:00 pm to 3:00 am.
Paragon Family KTV
Filipinos love to sing their hearts out whenever they see a karaoke machine.
To finish your solo date on February 14, you can sing to your heart’s content in a KTV room that can let you unleash your inner Mariah Carey.
You can go alone or let your friends join you so that you could hold a mini-concert at Paragon KTV Bar. It is located in Cubao, Quezon City. You can also order food and drinks while staying in your KTV room.
Instead of getting Drunk in Love, you can just get literally drunk with the variety of alcoholic drinks that the bar offers. But, you have to drink responsibly if you are going alone since there’s no one to clean up after you if you get wasted.
Remember that the best kind of love that you can receive is the one that you can give to yourself. So stop moping about not having a date this coming Valentine’s Day. Instead learn to love yourself and be happy with what you currently have.
