Some of you might say Valentine's day is coming soon. Well I'll say, "like I care,dude". I'm such a half empty person when it comes to this. I've had boyfriends but I never celebrated it, even once. Not to confuse I'm a cynic. I just don't get the point of celebrating Valentine's day, unless St. Valentine himself gave his blessing to marry me with the man I love back in the middle ages. It's not even an official holiday. However, I understand people here, there and everywhere still have the same euphoria to celebrate what they called-the-official-day-of-love.
I'm a bit traumatic with this occasion. When I was in 5th grade, there was a boy who reminds me a lot with Giant from Doraemon. Naughty, jackass, fat, yet he's silly and he gave me a silver ring in a rose jewellery box. Okay, that was hilarious. The time I found the box on my desk after the class break, the next thing I did was throwing the box into the trashcan in front of my class, with all eyes on me. Call me ungrateful bitch but I was humiliated with his gesture. I wasn't an airhead little girl who's gonna flattered with the ring and a red rose the boy gave me. It's merely a stupid and cheesy thing a lil' boy could do but hey...now I know the boy just sank in these Valentine's day euphoria. He only knew it's the day a boy could be a poet all of sudden or just being a secret admirer and give his girl a present. The thing is I can't be the girl. I just can't pretending to be happy or surprised with Valentine's day stuffs. You name it, flowers, chocolates, everything in pink or red with heart shaped. Amazingly, 12 years passed and I've grown up yet people still do the same thing on Valentine's day. What-a-macabre-occasion, yes?.
I am soon to be 21 years old in a month. Still, I don't get it why Valentine's day have to be glorified?. Have you guys heard about the-official-day-of-love?. I'm a moron when it comes to love. What's love anyway?. As the time goes by, it's not more than a myth or a game for me based on people says. If any of you wondering what am I gonna do in Valentine's day, actually I don't know but probably sleeping with Bing Crosby's playlist or for some Valentine sparkle, watching Serendipity again and again it's somehow just possible for me to do but I WON'T. Romantic,uh?. Come on, fellas. Instead you waste your money in a cheesy overpriced heart shaped box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers, why don't you try semen?. I'm not supposed to talk about sex but seriously I have a strong argument for this. Scientifically proven they found ingredients in semen that include mood enhancers like estrone, cortisol, prolactin, oxytocin and serotonin ; a sleep enhancer, melatonin and of course, sperm, which makes up only 1%-5%. Heterosexual women having unprotected sex were significantly less depressed than were those whose partners used condoms. The benefits of semen contact also were seen in fewer suicide attempts. In case you're single and nearly depressed on Valentine's day, one night stand could be the most promising alternative. So there's a deeper bond between men and women than St. Valentine would have suspected, and now we know there's a better gift for that day than chocolates. Enough said for this.
My reasons not to celebrate the day are first, flowers make me (or you guys also) sneeze and they die anyway, resulting in a deep depression as you cram them into the trashcan, creating a pathetic trail of dried up leaves in your wake. Unless you're such a freakishly person who kept the rotting flowers anyway. Second, pink is not slimming. Pink is also very girly and makes men feel wimpy unless they are very secure in their manhood. Most girls like pink, but should we let another nonsense-holiday determine our wardrobe choices for us?. Third, all the good and fancy restaurants are fully booked. Except you enjoy taking your date to KFC and instead of having romantic candle light dinner, you choose to enjoy crispy fried chicken with cold pepsi. Last, Valentine's day is just a huge marketing ploy by greeting card companies, chocolate factories, flower markets yadayadayada
Valentine's day is not about losing or winning, having or not having. I know, it's origin but you don't have to celebrate the love for only a day. You don't have to become lovey dovey couple and using the couple tshirts with your lover. All you have to do is celebrate the life, having the joy, anytime. Despite of it's not February 14th. If I may say, dare to be different to choose your own day-of-love. Love your loved ones everyday, give them special treats anytime. Well la-dee-da nevertheless it's an 'occasion' and I love making wishlist. Though I won't celebrate it, may I have my Valentine's day wishlist?. I'm kidding. Cheers !
