valentine's day

i can and cant believe it. i was actually dateless the past 2-3 years for vday. i think its at least 2 years...or more. oh well.....let's face it. some things i've learnt from this commercialised occasion are these

v-day is PERSONAL. just because your younger sister or brother has a date or partner doesnt mean things are the same for you.......God writes each love story.....differently! while i sit back and watch and silently applaud (if i do)....i am contented but not

v-day is a day to know yourself and others (who are date-less) more. haha no, kidding. it really means more time to know your good friends or casual friends better......especially those who want to meet up. usually these people are whining and complaining about others heh.......or why they have no dates......again, kidding....the SOLO time you have with yourself watching movie or walking down town or countryside will give you a chance to pray with your eyes open, literally and enjoy scenery. and relax from work stress.

v-day makes you question - who do I really like/love or what type of guy or girl do i really hope for. are my dating methods working?? lol.......

v-day makes you think, "what are people loving these days? is it money or themselves or status or work or security or ......or........love itself." its so easy to fall in love wit the notion of love itself and how "good" it makes you feel about yourself and all the vibes and warm fuzzy feelings you get when in pursuit or being pursued by someone. but true love is a lot about not just sacrifice but also patience (with the person) and self-control and giving and a lot of forgetting yourself........i duno just haven't got to that point for myself.

v-day is a day for people like me to write posts like these........
