Valentine??

by - Sunday, February 15, 2009

Ever thought of why isn't there a day specially for singles, instead for couples?
Ever thought of why it's Valentines and not Singletines?

Do you feel like hiding in the house and not come out on this day - just to avoid seeing couples on the road, girls holding flowers, candies and bears...

Do you feel like you're misplaced and shouldn't be outside to show your presence?

Do you feel extra lonely although you're with a bunch of friends around?

Well, DON'T BE!! Because you too have the right to celebrate Valentines day!

Personally, I never really did celebrate Valentines before - attached or not attachced. It's a bit pathetic to hear it seems, but I'm okay with it - To have it, it's great. To not have it, don't give it a damn! ^^

This year, I got to celebrate it with my dear. I had movie and dinner reserved days before, just to make it perfect for both of us. To make myself happy although I'm single and to make her forget to miss her other half who's so far away from her... at that very moment. We chose to watch "Bride Wars" as this is a movie about best friends, about sisterhood. This movie suits us more than anything else...

I must admit that I'm being too emotional on this day. I cried so much in the ending, I smudged my eyes black with my eyeliner + mascara. ( and they are supposed to be water-proof ) ><
And this movie does remind me of someone who's always by my side...
Thank you, my dear...


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. =)

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? ( Have anyone thought of this before?)

Well, here it goes...

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today.
So, who's your Valentine?
