every 14th february of every year, people around the world celebrate happy valentine's day. it's a time where people showed their affections to their loved one. a time where businesses take advantage of their fellows people, one can easily get a bouquet of flowers on the streets, with of course, at an unreasonable price. every valentine's day, restaurants would be fulled, tickets would be sold out, flowers would be waste and the list goes on and on. the economy will be the one boosting if there is more than one valentine's day. this is the day where girls will boast about how romantic/sweet their guys are, what they get on that fateful day and blah, blah, blah.
some treat it as a friendship day, where they make creative stuffs out of something or buy chocolates, sweets for their friends. that is just thoughtful of them.
someone did asked me out, but i kindly rejected as i have training on monday. so how did my valentine's day went? it was like a normal day, nothing exciting happened. i didn't go for training as i was excused from cca. the doctor gave me a week to rest from floorball and i think that includes sports and wellness too. i didn't gave anyone any gifts and neither do they.
on the way home, i had time to reflect valentine's day few years back. it's different in st. marg's and poly. in st. marg's, i make the effort to crack my bains to come up with something to give to my friends. while in poly, i can't be bothered doing that.
the gift that i'm proud of myself was the one i shared with suliza to give our collegues working at metro marina, last year. both of us prepared like 30 glasses which are filled with colourful stuffs. i still remember it was on a saturday and i had to rush to suliza's house to prepare the gifts. we had fabric paint on the glass few days earlier, so by the time we gave to them, it's dry. we had those colourful cereal, sweets, pebbles and a clip on the glass. the sweets doesn't taste nice at all, it was for decoration purposes. we did put on a warning, a piece of paper that read "taste at your own risk!".
some of our collegues were suprised as they were not expecting any presents. their eyes really shone, i could sense their happiness.
i would be lying if i said valentine's day doesn't affect me. there was a tiny weenie portion of me that was disappointed. i guess it's normal. yes, it's often heard that you don't need valentine's day to show off your love, you are supposed to show it every day. i do agree with that but i can't help feeling a little disappointment. but hey, i'm still here, able to pull through.
being single, it helps you to be independent and you're free to do what you want to do. it's a bonus if you're in a relationship, having someone to witness the days of your life, knowing you will have an extra support other than your parents and friends.
i guess everyone wants to be in a relationship but there are several reasons for them to pull back. maybe they aren't daring enough to hurt themselves again, some they are too busy with work and they can't find time for other commitments. they have their reasons.
love that will last is love that you give and expecting nothing in return. it's the best love that one can do and received.
next time if you fell out of relationship, don't ever regret what you went through, knowing you have given him/her your love and you don't expect anything in return. it's their lost not having you.
