Anti-Valentine’s Day activities for the (happily?) single and bitter

Valentine's Day anhedonia kicking in? Check out these activities to cure your allergy to this overrated occasion.

Whether you're single and loving it or freshly broken-hearted and absolutely bitter, here are some activities to keep you from attacking happy couples occupied this Valentine's Day.

Release your anger at Tacsiyapo

Taksil! Manunulot! Intrigera! Tacsiyapo!

Got your heart recently shattered into pieces then fed to the wolves? This activity is perfect for you! Channel all your anger and hate to throwing plates, mugs and even a TV set into the wall at Isdaan Restaurant. Price starts at P16 for small plates so be prepared to shell out more money if you want to keep smashing things. Isdaan has branches in Tarlac and Laguna but if you don't want to drive all the way to the those areas just to break things, you can always shatter things at your own place.

Being single this Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to go out and party all-night-long! Join 'Love Stinks, Let's Drink' at Planet Grapes on February 14 and 15 and enjoy a night of great wine, music, and company.

Tickets are P999 for wine-all-you-can and P499 for 2-glass-pass when you purchase them between Jan. 24 to Feb. 13. A 15% surcharge applies for all tickets purchased on the event day.

Host a 'Bitter Ball'

Too sullen to even go out on Valentine's Day? Well then host your very own Bitter Ball and invite all your 'single and hating it' friends. Set up a Shredding Station and tear apart everything that reminds you of your ex. Put up a dart board and make your ex's photo the bulls-eye. If that's not enough, hang up a heart-shaped piñata filled with bittersweet chocolates and take turns in smashing it.

If all else fails, resort to more physically exhausting activities

Still can't shrug off that aching feeling in your heart? Gather all your single friends and shoot your blues away. Step into a laser tag arena at LazerXtreme at Market! Market! or Alabang Town Center. Individual rate during weekdays (Mon-Thu) is P170 per person per game and P190 during weekends and holidays. And if you're feeling a little more poetic and want to manifest your heart ache to actual body pains, head to Global Gutz Paintball and shoot capsules of paint at each other.
