Meaning of Valentine’s Day? February 19, 2007

Ok, we all know how valentine’s day come about. However, after many many many centuries, wat’s the real meaning of it? Is it a day for girls to brag and guys to splurge? Has the meaning of valentine’s day being linked up with the number of gifts or in simplier term, money. If that’s the case, valentine’s day has indeed lost its meaning and purpose.

Valentine is a day where most places will break the record of “most couple being seen” than any other days. Girlfriends will clutch to their boyfriends’ arms while holding a bouquet of flowers as they walk down the street of Orchard Road. Some bimbo gfs would take a quick glance of others and compare whose bouquet is bigger because bigger bouquet to them means:
Your Boyfriend Loves You More.

The one with bigger bouquet will win & she continues walking down the street with her head stuck up as high as a peacock, proudly showing off the dozens of going-to-wit-soon flowers.. the one loses will secretly ‘blame’ their boyfriends for not splurging enough money on them unlike others. (this scenario only applies to certain ppl…not u? okiee..maybe others.)

Tell me which is more romantic.
1) Receiving flowers & gifts during special occasions ONLY. He nv fail to show up with flowers but its only during ur birthday or vdae…very routine, every year would be the same.
or
2) Receiving flowers & gifts on any other days –> ‘normal days’, just wanna give u a surprise even if its just during an usual date.. he would love to see the surprise look on ur face and a smile which comes straight from the heart right after.

It’s wierd why guys don’t hef the habit of giving gifts or flower or any other days like their anniversaries or just any other normal dates. Moreover, flowers are cheaper and the gifts won’t be snatched out-of-stock on normal days compared to v’day. Afterall, it’s more romantic to give small surprises in between the 365 days rite? It’s like asking the guys the same question: would u prefer ur gf to kiss and hug u inbetween the 365 days or just be given damn lotsa kisses and hugs on v’day itself? Hmmm…get my point?

Does spending time with ur partner on this day and neglecting her for the rest of the 364 days shows that u love her more than anybody else in the world? To some guys, it might be an ‘annual task’ for him to donate a part of their yearly bonus in return for less quarrels and more love for the near future..sounds like a good investment to me, and maybe its just something which they must do for their partner or else end up being labelled as a bad boyfriend.

Recently someone told me he does not have any dates on Vday..even the ugliest and fattest friend of his gets a date and he felt like a loser! C’mon, dateless on Vday doesn’t mean you’re a loser or anything..To me, a loser is someone who cheats on other ppl’s feelings..someone who just want to be with ppl they dun love in exchange for luxuries. Well, we all know everyday is valentine’s day if u truly love a person =)
