vday entry(08)

4 days to Vday! I went back in time to last year to read what past-me felt on 14 Feb and had quite laugh:

Valentines Day (VDay) is commercialised, but so's every other commemerative event these days... Mother's Day, National Day, Birth Days - name it, you can buy it. So it's no more logical to boycott roses on 14 Feb then it is to boycott appreciating Mum on 11 May (and wishing Fanis happy birthday, of course(: ). Why the bigger deal about 14 Feb's commercialisation than every other one of these events? (Btw, soccer's worse please. Number 1, 20 grown men fighting over one little ball, Number 2, they're being paid yo do it, Number 3, people pay loads to support it - commercialisation anyone?)

VDay's a great day; the spirit of it is great - make love, not war (GO OBAMA)... There's so much love circulating in the air; left right centre, even if I'm not one of the lucky ones caught in the throes of love at least so many others are... and its just nice to see. Dyou realise how lucky we are to even have the opportunity to commemerate VDay? I'd swear most of the kids i saw on indonesia's streets donning nothing but rags and possessing little more than shoe polish and a brush don't even KNOW their birthdate. Don't get started on the betterment of transferring that money spent on VDay gifts to food for 'em cos that's just like saying "I can't finish my rice - let me ship it to a kid in Africa" - not saying it's wrong; just saying there's inadequate means or transferring the wealth of ordinary folk here to ordinary folk there AS YET.

Back to the point - VDay. I realise that, at all of 18++, I have never celebrated VDay with a significant other. It's always random people and both of us without dates for that day going out for a laugh; slip of timing i guess. Or that twist of destiny could simply be congruent with the way I'm going to find my true love... He will be the One and only the One. I don't think I can muster the patience to keep on seeing Mr.Wrongs; if it was any fun, i guess i wouldn't mind... But most of the guys i've gone out with have unfortunately been a waste of time and space. Or of course, it's possible tt maybe I'm just no fun. Anw I'm going to be a good girl and just wait (good things come to those who wait) - im gonna take it all and settle for nothing less (I dont want "this will do"; i want "this is it!!"). No point fiddling around, right... when all i'm looking for is my single knight - to fight for me, love me, worship me at least as much as i do him. And who will seriously "celebrate VDay everyday".

A shout out to the couples - I wish you all the happiness in the world (don't go grabbing - happiness is infinite and there's enough for everyone). To the singletons, I hope you'll find true love some day.

Tata!
