Be My Valentine?

Valentine's Day is here! Well, for me it's just another ordinary day for a single man like me. If you're asking me what was I doing the whole day.. hmm.. you can list down a few; a date? going out with a partner to watch a movie? Nah.. I'm doing none of that. I only had a date with college. My finals is getting near (1 more week) and finally I'll graduate from college! Not long after that I'll be able to pursue my degree in medicine.

Anyway, back to Valentine's.. so why the specific date? for non-working guys, it actually means well to celebrate it once in a year. Hey, we depend on our parents to support us financially okay. Girls, be patient until we're working men, then Valentine's Day is made available to you everyday.. and if you can't wait, leave us and find working men who you think can support you. hahahaha... in fact, it's not just about money, we're actually talking about love here, am I right? Love is a strong element in a relationship, but can also be a weak element because if it's broken, it affects you like sh*t. I'm not saying it's a bad thing.. it's beautiful.

A short fact, Valentine's Day is actually a holiday observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentinus. It was later deleted from the General Roman Calender of saints in 1969. Though it is celebrated in hundreds of countries around the world, it remains a working day for them. The day first became associated with romantic love, in which by the 15th century, it became an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). In modern times now, the most famous and popular gift for Valentine's Day is of course chocolates!

Usually men would give chocolates to the lucky ladies of the day to show either their affection or appreciation for whatever reason it is. Thinking about it, it takes me back to the old days, the time when I first received chocs from a girl when I was 13. I only started giving chocs to girls at 14 but usually for only one girl but received many from other girls as well. Since then I've not miss even one Valentine's and 2012 is the first one I've actually given a miss. Am I proud of it? Neah.. I don't feel anything, I'm kinda too busy to even think about it.. I mean, I finished a year being single and that made me proud (my single friends made me feel proud of it, seriously). I gotta hand it to one of my classmates today, as she wished me, "Oh, Zack! Happy Valentine's Day for having the most ex girlfriends in class!". *laugh out loud* that's one way to tell me I was an EPIC FAIL in relationships!

So, that is why I'm ignoring anything to do with Valentine's Day. If I'm even able to correct myself of it, I don't think I have the time to do so. Still, I'm feeling happy for those who will be celebrating their anniversary today as most couples started their relationship on this day and also for those successful married couples especially my parents which "against all odds" they remain strong together before their marriage. I wouldn't be here if it didn't happen right? Anyway, Happy Anniversary for all  Valentine couples all over the world! Not forgetting those who will start their special relationship today too.

Other than that, I began to notice Facebook peeps introducing "Forever Alone Day" alongside Valentine's Day. It's meant for those single men and women! I find it funny actually.. some are happy about it while some are sad because.. well there's tons of reasons to look at. Honestly, I'm on neither side but hey.. Happy Forever Alone Day! LOL!

Friends should be added as a Valentine asset too

What I'm trying to say is.. let every day be a Valentine's Day.. it doesn't matter who is involved, it doesn't have to be Mr. Right or Mrs. Right, your family and friends should be counted too as they are the ones who love you for who you are first before your girlfriend or boyfriend. In fact, a special relationship starts from friendship so don't forget about that!
