The Day!!!

What is Valentine's Day all about my dear frendus? Is it all about Gifts, Kisses, Hugs all that mollycoddles just for that specific day Feb 14th? It all started a couple days after Christmas. Store fronts were filled with heart-shaped chocolate boxes, cuddly stuffed animals, and candy hearts with little sayings on them.
Some believe that February 14th is the most romantic day of the year, while others are ready to boycott the money making holiday. Forgive me if I decline to enthusiastically join this commercialized holiday ritual.

Valentines Day at one time was a symbol of youthful love. Though the origin of the day is somewhat hazy, the importance of the day has been stripped by the commercialism that now puts a huge guilt trip on us to “show our love" by purchasing our significant other a gift they don’t really need or want.

Valentine’s Day ranks second to Christmas in terms of the number of greeting cards that are sent. How pathetic is that.but seriously here men, we women don’t need the $100.00 bouquets of roses, the over priced Hallmark card or dinner at a fancy restaurant.

I am a person who is very voracious for love, a huge romantic, but to me an over priced bouquet of red roses doesn’t say love. To me romance is when my love one comes home from work and surprises me with a bouquet of fresh flowers because he wanted to brighten my day or when I wake up in the morning and his arms are around me or when he runs around me when i am busy cooking in the the kitchen . It is those little things that show me that he loves me and appreciates me. Just to higlight to some people out there who dont know the reason why valentine's day is being celebrated or i would say a day for you to spend all your hard earned savings lavishingly .. here u go...

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Valentine was jailed .According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

I strongly believe that just not that specific day where you illustrate your love to ur loved ones.... Make them feel warm in your arms not today, but every other day. Kiss them not only, but every other min of the day.... Yearn for them not only today, but every split second....caress them and make them forget the entire world with just your warm breathe.....Grow old together, Die in the hands of the one who gives u his/her heart.... I always told this to my entire crowd whenever i hosted on stage.... LOVE Means... L : Listen to each other O: Offer what you have to each other V : Value the memories of each other E: Endure good and bad with that one person.... My Valentine's day has been very sacred for the past 2years....i believe not in gifts but i deem that everyday love should be given out... And here i am today giving my love will all my heart and welcoming the overwhelmed love from the other beat with open arms....
It is more important to give spontaneously. Don’t wait for a specific day to show your wife/Hubby or girlfriend/boyfriend that you love her/him. Valentine's Day is just a one day away. Show your significant other that you care by giving them your time. It is important to appreciate them everyday. This Valentine’s Day let your gift come from your heart and not the store shelf. Loving you in a loving way my love...... as long as we can love each other , and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. Death ends a life not a relationship!!!! Happy Valentine's day!!!!
