HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!Anyone up to anything today? Well... I'm just gonna wrap that hot red boxers I got for Kris, and later in the day, I'm gonna make a choco cake with real dark chocolate frosting. For dinner, I'm making his favourite sweet-sour fish with veggies served on fragrant rice. yuuummmmmzzzzz....
When I look upon my life with regards to celebrating this day, I realised that I've never looked at it as a bad day... However, I've never bought the extremely overpriced roses just for its obvious purpose, except if it was for a good cause - you know how some florists actually donate their sales of the roses to some charitable organisations? Well, yeah... I usually go for those... and then, either keep the rose(s) for myself, or give it to my mom or a friend. I think it's so much sweeter that way...
And u know how some of your single friends tried to rally u against the whole idea of showing love only on one day... and that it's become a bit of a cliche with the roses & hearts & all? Well, I don't find that it's wrong to show love on one day... Some people do need that jolt to remind them to treat their loved ones right even if it's for one day out of 365 others... And if the loved ones receive it, then it's not a lost cause...
I'm definitely all for showing love, respect, understanding, etc to our loved ones everyday. However, even for loving couples, it's nice to treat & be treated extra special. What's wrong with that?
And for singles, don't be bitter about it, you're not unloved... and if u really feel u're unloved, perhaps it's best to stop feeling sorry for yourself while waiting for others to show their love for you... Just feel love for yourself - go give yourself a flower (if u think roses are a cliche) & make sure to have a great meal... And maybe show you love others too... It feels better to be the one giving...
Whatever it is, always enjoy yourself with what you're doing & have a good day!!
