14th of February, a day has been universally celebrated as the Valentine's Day to express our love to our special ones. But to me, it seems to be increasingly over-commercialized with each passing year and has been transformed to an event of exchanging expensive gifts.
Why do we need ONE day to celebrate a love? Shouldn't we do it every day?? Love is too big for us to fit it into a single day :) Expressing to the loved ones that we care is necessary. But it shouldn't be reserved for a single day in the entire year. Feb 14th is just like any other day of the year with no significance to our love story yet we are brainwashed into thinking it is a day of great importance.
Every love story is special, and different! It doesn't need identical greeting cards with clichéd message, identical candlelight dinner, chocolates and roses nor expensive gifts. We certainly don't need frills on that day. Love shouldn't be judged by the monetary value of the pressies that being exchanged. For me, sometimes the most romantic thing to do with the bf is to stay home, cook a dinner together, go for a walk with xiaohei at sunset, and ask the bf to play 15 rounds of Monopoly Deal with me together before bedtime :)
Anyway please don't get me wrong. I do not hate Valentine's Day. I only hate the hype created by those cards companies, candy companies, flower shops and many other commercial companies to make money on something that come from our hearts. For those who agree with me, still, I suggest you to at least, make some efforts to express your love to your loved ones on that day just in case your partner doesn't think the way we do ;) No matter you are single, attached or engaged, wishing everybody a Happy Valentine's Day :)
