Valentines Day is a day where red and pink hearts rule, chocolates and roses are sold at ridiculous prices, and sappy love songs fill the air.

I JUST DON’T GET IT!!! The day has been commercialized into a day for couples and lovers which got me thinking, is this the only day such people are able to express love? In other countries and cultures I know of, V-day is a day where the expression of love is not limited to the couples-in-love but it is a day to appreciate the people who we love. It is the celebration of love where hearts and chocolates are exchanged to let people you love and care about how much you love them. This act is shared among teacher and students, family members, the bus driver, friends, etc. I give my heart and Valentine out to all those who I truly care for they are special to me.

Since I didn’t have any plans this year, Su-Anne invited me out to hang out with her girl friends at MidValley and I extended the invitation to Susan. I guess it would be fair to summarize that the night was a disaster. Parking was limited, the restaurant we wanted to go to decided to milk all of their customers by charging per head at RM45, we changed to a Chinese restaurant which the service sucked due to the amount of customers… and that almost got us late for our movie. We watched the movie that we could get tickets for (well, Su-Anne wanted to watch it too) but well… “Epic Movie” is not my kind of movie genre. We were stuck in the parking lot for a long time trying to leave the mall and there were mean drivers on the road… yup, Valentine’s in its commercial worth totally sucked!

However, the true meaning of V-day started earlier for me when I made special V-day cards for my favorite boys. I also spend a good deal of time reminiscing the special guys and relationships that I was blessed with all these years. I received a Valentine greeting a few days ago from a good friend. He reminded me through my favorite Bible verse “Now these remain—faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13.

Walking down memory lane and looking into the future, I truly believe the command to love God and the sum of His creation, not in the sappy and emotional way, but through the commitment to ensure their happiness and well-being. Thus, allow me to extend my warmest Valentine greetings to all of you out there, anyone who has given me even a minute’s thought, you are indeed special to me in your very own way and I am honored to call you friend, a loved one. Thank you for your love to me. I give you my love, hugs, and kisses wherever you are.

Now, I sit at my work desk looking at pictures that are on pin up at my workstation, my computer, website, Cliė, cell phone, and wallet of the special someone as I write. This is one fellow who brings me smiles, perks me up and gives me energy to go on…

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
