Will you be my valentine?

Look around you. What do you see? Red roses, full bloomed and freshly picked standing proud in flowers shops. Heart lollies and candies dotting the supermart shelves. Cuddly teddy bears holding romantic messages in every little corner. Red heart balloons bumping around in the breeze outside every store you walk by. In short, its hearts and red everywhere! Yup, love is very much in the air. It's valentine's season again!

This day definitely puts the L in love. Though St.Valentines didn't do much to provoke so much affection between people on this day, love definitely needed a day to be celebrated. Why? Its the only emotion thats strong enough to cause people to act like complete idiots (speaking in the good sense afcourse). Everything is about love. You earn money so you can take out your girl to the poshest restaurants and buy her LVs. You get up every morning early enough not to miss your bus to school, just so you can meet her before the classes start. You stay online the entire day pretending to be busy with homework, when in real you're waiting for her to come online. You wait in front of the entrance to her building, just to get a glimpse of her leaving for work everyday. Doesn/t it all come down to love anyway? Yes it does.

But valentine's can be funny too, when people think they have no one to love. How is that possible? Valentines is not about having a steady partner or spouse, its about having love in your life. And in return loving someone. Dont you love your parents? your grandma? your friends? kids? neighbours? your dog? How in the world can you ever think that no one loves you? Laugh at your own stupidity and count your blessings. Get a romantic movie, a tub of buttered popcorn and you're all set for a night with one person you will always love no matter what. Yourself.

So...i watched 'Valentine's Day'couple weeks ago. Was in the mood to watch a romantic love story and convince myself that yeah, love does still exist. My advice to you, don't bother watching it, it completly destroys the beautiful concept of this day and ends up giving you jitters. Thank god I have had time to recover from that ugliness. I mean valentines day is epic. So full of pleasant surprises and happy smiles. Not insane, idiotic performances that this movie showed unshamefully.

Still the question remains...who is your valentine?
