This coming Valentine's day, It is hard to plan what to do to impress the lover isn't it? Well lucky for you I have got some ideas from around the web that you can use to ensure a romantic heart's day 2014.
1. Hiking
Here's a fun way to get to know each other more and appreciate nature at the same time. It's also a good to way burn those extra calories you both gained during those intense chocolate eating days. However, to make hiking romantic, there are some guidelines you must follow as hiking is considered to be strenuous. Be sure to choose a destination that is easily reached. You don't want to have those awkward silence moments in the car do you? Bring something you can sit on so that you won't ruin that sexy yoga pants she wore. And to top it off, bring something nice for her that she won't expect you'll have in the mountains. A bottle of champagne, or a box of chocolates maybe? By the way, Let your girl set the speed and pace and suggest time-outs along the way. It's not about fitness - unless you are both into that.
Here are some trails you can trek within just a day:

2. Aquarium.
If you are into fishes and awe, why not visit the local city aquarium? The aquarium would be the perfect place if you are trying to get to know someone. There's plenty of room for conversation because there isn't much distraction and with just the right amount of cash, you can already enjoy a lovely hearts day with your partner. Throw in a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates and you are done! I heard
Manila Ocean Park is nice this time of year.
3. Art gallery / Museum.
If you are both into arts, then visit the local museums or art galleries around the metro. While others might say that this is boring but when a guy researched a little and played his "Did-You-Know" game to his best, your girl might just drop her jaw in awe of your knowledge. See, nerdy today is the new sexy according to Australia's OK Magazine (

4. Acoustic show.
Music always soothe the heart and mind, so wouldn't this be a lovely idea for you to start the mood this valentines? To top the night off, you can discretely request the performers to let you sing and serenade your partner until her heart melts. However, be sure to prepare yourself for this. Practice singing the song. If you are going to play an instrument, practice that too. And please, choose the song wisely. Figure out the song's meaning first. You don't want to end up being slapped on the face so hard your eyeballs might fall out.
5. Ice skating.
According to
www.askmen.com, Ice skating is one of the top things to do on a date so here's a lovely excuse for you to hold each others hand. And a nice way to cool off those hot bodies! Don't worry if your hands both get sweaty while holding hands, it's not that awkward unless you make it awkward.
6. Stargazing.
What's more relaxing to spend this valentines than lying in the grass and watching the stars. The night's breeze might be in your favor that she requires your hug and cuddling. If you can afford it, bring a green laser pointer to play with.
7. Volunteer.
Rather than spending your money just impressing her, why not spend it well by helping the poor. With the proper gesture and attitude, you might just be able to pull off a "Handsome and generous" compliment from your date.
8. Have a movie marathon.
If you're low on cash, then just rent a bunch of movies that you are sure your lover will want. With no stress of choosing the right dress or restaurant reservations, this is one of the best ideas that might just pull you off from trouble this valentines.
9. Play cards.
If you are into that naughty ideas, strip poker is always there to save your ass from a boring night. Hell, it will even spice up the long cold relationship you might be having. Playing cards can enhance your communication skills together as you try to outwit each other with bluffs and teases.
10. Fireworks Display.
This February, there are a lot of malls that throw small fireworks show at night but if you both are willing to wait a day longer and spend valentines the next day, The Mall of Asia will be hosting one of the most awaited shows in the Philippines. The 5th Phillipine International Pyromusical Competition.
Tickets are at reasonable prices and don't forget that you are already at the mall and at the bay side and there are a lot of things to do there while waiting. Watching the sun set is not a bad idea too. Seeing that almost every couple in the metro go there to see the setting sun even if it's not valentines day. Because you can get to cuddle and watch something beautiful together, it won't be something to forget about in a long time.
11. Cooking Together.
For you food lovers(yes, you!), test out that cooking skills your parents taught you. Aside from getting some quality alone time, cooking together will also encourage the both of you to have fun and be romantic at the same time! Who knows - you might find it so interesting that cooking together will forever be a tradition in your relationship.
12. Bowling.
If you think rolling balls to hit some pins is just a stress reliever, think again. There are many couples who find removing stress together is easier than doing it alone, and it's one of the best excuse to compliment her healthy/sexy body. You can even have a friendly competition with each other if you want to. The loser will strip tease for the other or something like that. Just do it once you're home though, don't strip tease in the bowling alley. However, be sure to generate some chemistry while playing and avoid awkward silences. Cheer for her when it's her turn, and celebrate her shots even if it wasn't even a strike. Some bowling alleys have some disco music playing in the background so you can dance to celebrate each shot. There are a lot of bowling alleys that are open this coming Valentines and here are some options for you:
Megamall
Eastwood
Mall Of Asia
Playdium Araneta
