A hari to tell our partners how much we Cinta them. But what happen with all those who just broke up with their partners? Those who were deceived and do not want to trust in Cinta again? What happens with all those people who are still searching for their soul mate despite years and years of unfruitful searching? atau those who are desperate to find someone to Cinta because they do believe in love. What happens to those who wait in hope that this tahun their “Valentine” will finally realize that they Cinta them… but they won’t; and they will spend another tahun alone waiting in hope with a masam smile in their faces.
Honestly, Valentine ’s hari might have started as a hari to celebrate Cinta but nowadays it has become another hari to force people to kedai compulsively for things that they don’t need atau they don’t want to buy in order to express their love. Most men know that they will be in trouble if they don’t buy an expensive present for their women. So, they buy an expensive present, not as an expression of their love, but as a way to avoid trouble. Like in Monopoly, they are buying their “get out of jail” cards.
Please do not take me wrong, I am a romantic
Why I hate Valentine’s Day
Because if I say that I hate Valentine’s Day, most people automatically will think that I am either an old angry spinster atau -for those who know me and know that I am neither old atau a spinster- I am just having a very rough period in my Cinta life. Neither of them is true, but most people do not understand how someone who is happy in a relationship cannot like and look forwards to Valentine’s Day.
I never know what to buy as a Valentine’s present. Having just come out of Krismas it is difficult to find another original present for Romeo.
It has been horrible every time I have been single. All my Friends in a relationship had something special planned for February 14th and they felt sorry for me if I berkata I was staying in watching TV atau Membaca a book. It didn’t bother me at all staying in like any other day, but I felt humiliated at my Friends feeling sorry for me!
When I have been in a relationship the presents have rarely been up to romantic standards. I am a very romantic person. I expect Prince charming to bring the moon down for me. Now when Charming appears with a Hallmark card and a box of chocolates bought at the Esso station –with the price still attached- when he knows I am on a diet… that is disheartening. The worst part is having to pretend to be pleasantly surprised and thankful that he remembered Valentine’s day.
There are so many beautiful poems in classic literature that it is annoying to read the silly messages written in most commercial cards. Why can Romeo not take 20 minit of his time and copy for anda one of your favourite Cinta poems; even better, why can he not write anda a few words of his own! As I mentioned before in the forums, the only Valentine’s card I have ever kept is one a man made for me himself.
All the couples anda know look so in Cinta on Valentine’s hari that it sucks! anda know he is double timing your friend, but anda don’t say anything because she never told him that she was a stripper before she met him, and anyway it is not your business. But all the displays of false perfect Cinta just want to make anda throw up. anda know that later that night they will be arguing again about something trivial.
I hate to hear the competitiveness between girls on Valentine’s Day. Someone boasting about their enormous bouquet of flowers, while the other one claims that her man really loves her because he never takes her out but tonight they are going to the best restaurant in the city. Doesn’t she realize that it is only a Valentine’s hari marketing game, he never takes her out except on Valentine’s Day, and she is delighted. Poor girl!
Valentine’s Day, like weddings, Krismas and New Year’s celebrations bully us into losing weight. Women are desperate to lose all the extra grams that they gained during the Krismas holidays in order to wear their red Valentine’s lingerie. Why wait for Valentine’s, can’t we just lose weight because of ourselves, because we want to look our best ALL the time?
If anda are not in a relationship and anda go out with a girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, the odds are that anyone who sees anda will think anda are a lesbian.
Valentine’s hari makes men do stupid things like
Most men are not very romantic and anda will end up disappointed but you’ll boast about your present seterusnya hari at work anyway.
Why MUST we celebrate Cinta one hari a year?
In my ideal world I would like to be romanced every single hari of the year. I would like to feel loved and needed every day, not just one silly hari in the calendar. Why not celebrate Cinta every time we can?I don’t need a special hari atau a special occasion to tell my boy that I Cinta him that I am head over heels about him. I don’t need someone to remind me in the calendar that it is time to send him a loving card atau a message. He doesn’t need a hari marked in the calendar to make me feel special.
Valentine’s hari might be a positive celebration for the kedai keepers, restaurants, jewellers and other businesses, but it doesn’t do much for your relationship.
I am not against genuine demonstrations of Cinta on Valentine’s day, what I am against is simple consumerism to disguise the lack of love.
