today is valentine's day.. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. Saint Valentine or Saint Valentinus refers to one or more martyred saints of ancient Rome. The feast of Saint Valentine was formerly celebrated on February 14 by the Roman Catholic Church until the revised calendar 1969.
though not as wanting to sound like vina who claims that valentine's day is just an excuse by the romans for an orgy (HAHA), i too feel that this day is indeed a stupid one.. stupid cupid..
maybe its just me, since i've always been single all the time whenever valentine's day comes.. or rather except that one time when i rejected him.. oh well, don wanna think about that now.. but if a couple must only wait till this special day to lavish love on the other half, i seriously think they have to reconsider their relationship..
maybe i'm just bitter coz i never get to walk hand in hand with someone i like amongst the other couples down the streets.. well, cant help it if danny jones is somewhere in london promoting his music.. *dreams for a while* haha kay back to reality.. snap snap! its the same with christmas.. its more bearable when there's a good girlfriend to accompany you down the streets, if not hand in hand.. but its hard not to notice the couples when you're alone..
not that i'm that desperate to find someone so that i wont be alone.. from past experiences the main thing i've learnt is never to accept anyone when you dont really like that person.. it only leads to hurt.. hurt.. and more hurt. and most of the time, sad to say, i'm not the one feeling most of the hurt.. *sorry!*really didnt mean anything bad.. SIGH had to meet him to get the tickets recently.. only served to bring back all those good and bad times.. bugger. stop rewinding! forward!! luckily we still managed to stay as friends.. haiz..
well, maybe this is how my destiny is shaped out to be.. maybe i
am destined to wait like forever for that ONE person (prefably american. haha!) to really learn what love is all about so that all the hurting will stop.
in conclusion, valentine's day is still stupid. more like an excuse for florists to earn money with all those flowers that die within days. more like an excuse for gift shops (like the one i work at) to earn money emptying the pockets of "loving" boy and girl friends..
sorry if i sound twisted, bitter and cynical. haha i'm just in one of my moods.
