How do you say Balen-time?

[Ding Carpio]

When I was a kid, I always thought it was Balen Time, the day when our teachers would ask the tallest students to thumbtack red cartolina cutouts of hearts and this obviously western boy and girl about to kiss; a time when the world tries to spin back to Christmas (but not quite) after a couple of months break

Till now, I don't know what the proper phrases are:

Valentines Day
Valentine's Day
Happy Valentines
Happy Valentine

Hope you all have a great Balen Time!

My experience were exactly like yours Ding.
Now I'm wondering how common it was.

"Balen time" ... yeah, I remember those days. It was a shame, but it's funny.

Anyway, this reminded me of our maid way back then. She often tell stories about NPAs carrying "sweet 16s" ... ;D ;D ;D
... and their neighbor's black dog, named "weyti".
