"The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death." Source: http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day

I realize this when I saw one of the biggest balloon collection in our local mall, I was amaze by the size of if.

People walking by would try to get photos with this big balloon collection, So if you are here in Cebu City, I suggest you go to SM City, take your photo early for I am sure by next week the malls will be pack with people. The chance to have a decent photo with this kind of art will be missed by then. Another suggestion is that you can also look up, you will find another spectacular work of art.
