As you know, yesterday was the Valentine's Day. However there were anything special concerned with it in Vanuatu. I didn't get any chocolate or goods from anyone yesterday. In Japan many students used to give me chocolate, cookies, or cakes, although most of us aren't Christian. There really seemed to be nothing concerning with it in Vanuatu. I asked my colleague if there are anything special or not, but he answered, "No."
To change the subject, I didn't study so much yesterday because I spend about four hours in a Chinese restaurant with two of Japanese volunteers. I would like to have gotten home 2 hours earlier to study something, however I couldn't say anything. So while spending there, I thought that I would manage to study about two hours after going home. However I couldn't study enough. All I could do was to check the collection of my yesterday's entry. While checking, I felt sleepy strongly. It was a pity and I'd like to study enough long today.

However there wasn't anything special concerned with it (or "about it") in Vanuatu.

There really seemed to be nothing special with it in Vanuatu. (more natural I think)
I asked my colleague if there was anything special or not, but he answered, "No."
To change the subject, I didn't study a lot yesterday because I spent about four hours in a Chinese restaurant with two of Japanese volunteers.
I would like to have gotten home 2 hours earlier to study something, however I couldn't say anything. (I think you should explain why you couldn't say anything)
So while spending time there, I thought that I would try to study about two hours after going home. ("Would try to study" or "Could manage to study." Depends on what you want to say.)
All I could do was to check the errors from my previous entry.("previous" sounds better and works if you only write one entry per day)
While checking, I felt very sleepy strongly.
It was a pity and I'd like to study enough longer/more today.
It's too bad you didn't get anything. Did you want some chocolates or cookies? haha. I think most people don't even know that Valentine's Day has anything to do with Christianity!
"Would and manage" and "Could and try" are not incompatible. They can work, but it depends on the context and what you are trying to say. What you wrote isn't wrong, but I think the options I gave are used more commonly.
I would like to have gotten home 2 hours earlier to study something, however I felt it would be rude to leave.
Are you preparing for concert? Or did it end? What will you (did you) sing?
