day of overflowing love

Why are we subjected to showing affection to people we love on Valentine's Day? Is it really necessary that we should buy chocolates, jewelry, and all sorts of gifts just to prove our love? No. It is just another hyped media thinking that's gotten the consumer in all of use. Boyfriend or no boyfriend, I still don't like the purpose of this so-called holiday. I'd rather receive a greeting than a gift. It's the thought that counts right? And case in point, my close friend SY called twice just to greet me a "Happy Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year." Now THAT is what counts.

I predicted that I would cancel plans with my friend for today since last Thursday, and I was right on the point. Don't doubt me when it comes to a topic I strongly feel for.

Now that I've ranted my piece to no one in particular, I shall indulge in good food, a bowl of Ben & Jerry's, and a series of horror films.
