The Valentine ThingThe Valentine Thing

What is Valentine’s Day? Obviously, it is the 14^th day of February. It is a special day of love missives, hearts, sweets, and any matter that represents the word LOVE. Of course, everybody (or most people), wants to be involved in Valentine’s Day right? In which, he or she will have a quality time with his or her special someone.

 

Valentine’s Day appears to be a special holiday. Well hey, it’s NOT; but somehow, it is. Why? Simple, because most people gets eager and therefore, prepare themselves for the coming of this event into their footsteps. Isn’t this true? Of course, most people assure themselves that they will not let this once-in-a-year event to slip away instantly without being in-season.

 

Now, have you asked yourself, what do you do every Valentine’s Day? What happened last year to your Valentine’s Day? Did you engage yourself in a date? Made a letter to you loved-ones? Or stayed at home and remained isolated from the world of love and felicity? Now, the big question is what if you don’t have a special someone? Or you are not a special someone that another person yearns for? Now then, there isn’t anything for you to envy about couples here and there that displays a picturesque matter to you. It doesn’t matter anymore. There’s nothing for you to envy about those sweet couples or salivate over them. There’s no need to worry! It’s time for some change around here. Get up and do something!

 

For this year, if you’re not planning to ask someone out or simply spend Valentine’s Day the traditional way, why not do something new and extraordinary? Why not do something that you haven’t done before? Or why not do something that you often do the other way around?

 

Valentine’s Day is not all about doing the things that the people around you perform (as the event says). It’s more about doing the things that you LIKE and you LOVE to do. Be daring and achieving. If the “love thing” hit you badly, and you decided to ask the girl you admire to go out with you, if ever she turns you down, you have no right to curse Valentine’s Day forever. Would you even believe that some people did that? Of course, that’s totally appalling!

 

Consciously and unconsciously, we find ourselves in the state of deep confusion towards someone that we really admire. Now, if you were never able to smoke this matter out of your head and continue to suppress it all in the depths of your mind, well this is the perfect time to do something about it! Besides, like I said, it’s something NEW and I’m sure that it is something that you would LIKE and LOVE to do. Don’t worry about the fear of rejection. Everybody tastes rejection anyway. I believe that rejection is detrimental especially to one’s pride and expectations. Anyway, if you experience rejection on or before Valentine’s Day, there’s always another day. Why not try the other day? Valentine’s Day is not a day for expressing love and love alone. There are other days. It’s just that most people confess during this day. It doesn’t matter if you miss the opportunity. MAKE an opportunity.

 

How does it feel to admire someone who never admires you back? I know it’s disastrous if you figured that out. DON’T EXPECT. Expecting is sometimes elusive for it turns the tables of hope and gives you puddles of disappointment. Your loved-one may accept your love letter and treasure it. However, that doesn’t mean that he or she accepts your admiration. You know what, sometimes, when COOL people receives love letters their heads get big. I mean it. Shouldn’t they avoid too much sarcasm about themselves? Hey, they’re lucky that someone admires them. However, it is indeed true that when we are admired too often, we loose humility and transform into a bootless air-head.

 

Now, if we will give a letter to someone, make sure that it’s something that can make the person, whom you’ll give the letter to, admire you back. You may not be able to express your feelings to him or her by mere words but now is your time to shine! Be creative and be promising. Who knows? Maybe by that letter, that special someone you admire may eventually notice you. I would like to tell the whole world that A LITTLE LOVE LETTER WON’T HURT ANYBODY! Never mind the rejection, don’t mind the laughs and the humiliations. It’s NOW or NEVER! Don’t let the opportunity slip away. Like I said, MAKE an OPPORUNITY. This is it; fate showered you with a 24-hour opportunity. Don’t be too bashful and exorbitant in your letter. Don’t get too carried away.

 

Sweets such as candies and chocolates are also one of the hot picks for this event (go check E-bay). Valentine’s Day should be sweet and not sarcastic. Therefore, sweets are present and are served in a date (Belgian chocolates anyone?). Since sweets come in various prices, all people, rich or not, has the capability of buying one. It doesn’t matter if your chocolates are expensive and the candies you bought are cheap. As long as it comes from the heart, all is well. I highly suggest that a pastry is also a good idea. Pies, cakes, cookies, biscuits, and the like are as good as candies and chocolates. In fact, the more personalized it is, the more special this event would be! It would even be better if you’re the one who’s going to make these sweets. Guys appreciate a girl who makes these sweets themselves.

 

The venue, don’t forget the venue. Fireworks display, a walk at the beach, a picnic in the park, or a simple gaze at the night sky. You’re all set. The more unique the venue is, the more special this event would be. Take note that watching movies and roaming at the mall is so mediocre. THE MALL CAN’T PROVIDE THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR YOU!

 

Don’t forget the dinner-date. This baby is a piece of candy indeed. For this part, this is a very remarkable opportunity for you to know more about the other party. This usually occurs after watching a movie, biking in the park, etc. Of course, if it just happens that you are so hungry; remember that you’re in a date. Show respect. Don’t let hunger strike you. Add some garnish to your dinner-date by having some musicians provide the background music for you. The sweet tune of the violin is an A PLUS!

 

Flowers, they don’t last forever but its memories do. Flowers may wither but hey, I repeat, ITS MEMORIES DO. The rose serves as a symbol of a never-ending love. Flower shops are busy this season, and the prices are going to increase. Flowers are so typical. A message altogether with it should never be missed. The significance is that, you can tell how many admirers a woman has by the amount of flowers she receives.

 

The huggable stuffs; in other words, the stuff toys. The bigger the stuff toy is, the more huggable it is! The stuff toys represent the giver. In which, when the receiver misses the giver, she will hug it! Relative, just relative.

 

It really doesn’t matter if you don’t have the material things to give to your loved-ones. What matters is that the meaning of Valentine’s Day should not fade away. Most importantly, let us not forget that love is not just for someone. LOVE IS FOR EVERYONE! Let’s spread the love this Valentine’s season. Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!
