my valentine version : 2008

Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14th. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards,presenting flowers, or offering confectionary. The holiday is named after two of the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished...

in the modern day many people took advantage of "The Day" and make it into a business opportunity.How? Flowers are sold multiple times more expensive (take it or leave it), fancy restaurants are all booked out, average costing RM 300++ per couple..is totally out mind,insane and impractical..to blow so much money away just for ONE night!

nevertheless...me and Merv, we had a very much budgeted valentine together...we went for a movie which was charged at usual price and we went for a ice cream treat in the night at baskin robbins..so it aint that bad..and i also got a freebie from baskin...is not so much about the gifts but most importnatly is whom you spend it with that matters most..is pointless to spend such a day with someone you totally do not fancy given the person were to shower you with fancy dinner, big bouquet of roses..you know what i mean...;)
