Why now? Why Valentines Day?

First hours of February 14, 2011 has passed and I'm in the front of the computer talking to Eula :D and my Supervisor :D and then as the booming and flowering batch of Valentine's Day messages gush through, there's something running in my head. And this means i had to think about it and write about it.


~Valentine's Day.
or Balentayms para sa mga kabataang pinoy hahah.
~This is the time where chocolates gets quite expensive.
~This is the time where flowers of kind ( I think ) gets quite expensive.
~This is the time where Parks and Valentine themed places are getting crowded and gets quite pricey.
~This is the time where [for mature readers] motels, hotels, and such are eventually getting some Valentine inspired rooms and gets quite expensive.
~Valentine's day is one day of the year where lovers plan on doing something sweet or memorable just because it's Valentine's day.


But why now? Why ONLY on Valentine's day??


Question:


What is Valentine's day for a single, not committed person? (many people forget Valentine's day is not for lovers alone)


How about the recently broken hearted individual? ( What would the "day" would give him/her? Or would she/he still thinks that such "day" is existing?)


AND Why would we do something special on this "day" if we could do it readily almost everyday?


------------------------------------------------------


Doing something special in commemoration of the "day" is quite pointless.


We don't buy flowers, gifts, go to romantic places, and say sweet I love you because it's Valentine'day. It's because of our affection, what we feel, it's about LOVE.


If you are showing your loved one that you can do something great for them on this day, you can do this to them again and again more special than a single day of the year.


And loved one is not limited to a  girlfriend, boyfriend. You have your friends, and your family.


and you have your ONLY ONE up there.


Tell a blind man how you love him and he will feel the LOVE, without him seeing the color of a rose petal or how us normal people draw a heart shape.


See the face of your parents and brothers and sisters, when you go out for work. See them smile as they wish you to take great care of yourself. That is Love out of Valentine's day [and you get them everyday]


Personally, when I get to see the people I care for in everyday life; the feeling is heavenly when you know there's somebody is waiting for you to get home... while even before you leave.


When you see your crush at the office. It feels great isn't it? It's a Kilig feeling you feel every time. An intense feeling you feel even it's not Valentine's day


These are some feelings more Lovelier than Valentine's day.


So don't find comfort and love on a single day because the season is telling you that's it's a "loving day today".






This are certain feelings that you can feel everyday. Just look and try feel them.
It's a feeling where you get inspired and feel alive.
It's a feeling you could readily get and not to be emphasized in a single day of the year.




Valentine's day is only a commemoration day.
~you should not cherish the love that you already had just because it's valentine's day. YOU CAN DO IT EVERYDAY.
~you should not make some special arrangements on this day just to say it's Special. YOU CAN DO IT EVERYDAY.
~it doesn't have to be expensive. Just an ice cream cone on the free time together is enough. YOU CAN DO IT EVERYDAY.
~it doesn't have to be expensive. Walking holding each others hands on the way home is enough. YOU CAN DO IT EVERYDAY.
~it doesn't have to be girl/boyfriend. You could tell friends, parents, and siblings how special are they. YOU CAN DO IT EVERYDAY


... it doesn't have always to be  I Love you. You also need to say a warm Sorry and a simple Thank you.


I think.
Valentine's day should not be a day where you could show someone how special they are.
instead...
Valentine's day should remind us that True Love really do exist.


And should be practiced in no amount of wealth or time will be measured.


just always a heartful*


Celebrate love.
