I remember being so excited about Valentine's day, during my secondary school & JC days. Gifts and cards would be exchanged amongst friends; 'Secret' admirers would make themselves known by leaving a rose or two on your desk. Flowers and gifts were sold in school itself and there was also a special song dedication segment which took place during recess time; All in the attempt of raising funds at the expense of adolescents, willing to spend part of their allowances to impress their crushes.
Although buying gifts on valentine's day can be such a rip off, we should be thankful that such a day exists. It allows us to remind the people we love and care about that they play a special part in our lives. Some people might not be so expressive with their love and valentine's day might give them the perfect opportunity to open up and surprise the ones they love. There is no need for ridiculously pricey watches, over-priced bouquets or an extravagant dinner; A simple home-cooked meal, a hand-made card containing a very sweet message and a box of chocolates would do the trick (at least for me!)
“Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Loves is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It dose not take offense and is not resentful. Love take no pleasure in others people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.” ― Nicholas Sparks, A Walk to RememberHappy valentines day, peepz!
