14th of Every Month Celebrations

Do you know that in Korea, there is a monthly celebration of love? All of them are being celebrated on the 14th of every month. It is a celebration of love because all of them seems to be directed to people who are in love, being loved, and no one loves.

To start off,

January 14 is known as the Diary Day. It’s the day when lovers exchange diaries as a sign of love. It can also be one-way or only one person gives a diary to the person he/she loves. It can also be accompanied with flowers.

February 14, of course everyone knows it as Valentine’s Day. But unlike other traditions, on this day, the girls are the ones who give chocolates to the person she likes or loves. It can sometimes be a sign of confession.

March 14 is the White Day. This is payback day for the girls. On this day, the boys are the ones who give candies to the girl he likes or loves. It is also a way to confess their love.

April 14 is what they call Black Day. On this day, those who are single or not in a relationship meet and eat black noodles together. Maybe they are grieving or something.

May 14 has two celebrations. One is the Rose Day, where lovers exchange roses as a sign of their love. And the other is Yellow Day, where those who weren’t able to eat black noodles the previous month eat yellow curry rice.

June 14 is their Kiss Day. It is when lovers kiss each other to confirm their love. [I love June 14! ]

July 14 is known as the Silver Day. On this day, lovers exchange silver rings as a sign of their love. Together with rings, they make a promise of the future.

August 14 is none other than Music Day! It is a day to give someone a CD that’s full of love songs. [Woohoo! Free CD's everyone!]

September 14 is the Photo Day. A day for lovers to take pictures and keep them as a memory of their love.

October 14 is what they call Wine Day. It is when lovers drink wine together to celebrate their love. [no soju?]

November 14 also has two celebrations. One is the Movie Day. Lovers watch movies together while holding each others hand. [How sweet.] Another is the Hug Day, the day to give hugs to your loved ones. [Care to give me a hug?]

December 14 is also carrying two celebrations. Money Day, where you spend generously for the person you love, and Socks Day, where people give socks in advance for Christmas. [I prefer the money day ]

So that’s it folks. Ciao!
