Aaah.. Valentine's Day!

Here comes the most dreadful "holiday" of the year..

"Valentine's day"..

The most commercial day of the year..

It's all about people wearing red, giving each other gifts (preferrably red roses), and celebrating their "love"..

wait, hold on.. let me correct that..

it's not people, it's COUPLED-UP people..

so basically, if u r single.. this "holiday" is not for u..

but if u think that this means that u get to be free of the headache that usually accompanies all such events, then u r wrong!!

you will be looked upon by the eye of ridicule, and asked by all those coupled-up people about "ur plans" and "who ur valentine is".. (!!).. AS IF having "a date" signifies that u r loved.. not only that, but that u deserve to be loved.. like ur not a little mean person inside..

What if "my love" or whatever was out of town for that day? does this mean that i'm not loved?

How about if i looked really ugly in red.. does this make me "not festive"?

I've never "celebrated" valentine's day with anyone before..

wait, let me rephrase that; i've never celebrated valentine's day with a guy before..
The one i remember the most, is the one i "celebrated" with a whole lot of my friends when i was 15.. we all went out to dinner, and we were a HUGE group..
and the most special, was the one where my close girlfriends and i went to dinner, remember u guys? ;)

so in conclusion

Valentine's day sucks..

they're ripping u off guys!!

P.S. If you guys think that i wrote this coz i'm so "bitter" coz i didn't get anything special, u r WRONG :P I got a beautiful necklace from a very dear friend.

P.P.S.
بحبك يا رفيق..

A buddy of mine mentioned that Valentines is a day for (at least those that are 'together'), to slow down a bit and put some special time aside for their partners. A question is then raised -- what about the people who always have their loved ones on their minds? It's kinda hard to beat "always on my mind" :P


To be fair, I think the "usefulness" of valentines is for the couples that are constantly on the go, constantly moving and cant seem to make time for each other (which of course, then possibly raises the "why are you together when you are evidently too busy for each other"). However, a quick poll of my guy friends reveals a surprise (for me) -- more than half didnt know when Valentines was :S


Sigh. Gone is the era of the romantic...

well, u have birthday, normal holidays, and any other day u pick thorugh the year to "slow down".. don't u think it's even more special when you make an effort to "make up" a day, rather than join in one? :)
