I'm trying to work out which part of me is bashing it and which part of me is loving it.

I can see the commercial side of it and it's almost disheartening to see that people need a special occasion or a special day to tell someone that they love them. I thought the whole point of loving someone is just that... it doesn't demand a special requirement to fulfill. Why does a particular have to do with anything and certainly how does investing money and showering people with gifts any more indication than "I'm rich I buy things for you".

Anyway Mr Negative over, I do see the point of this day. Perhaps it's a reminder to us that we all have the courage to do what we really want to do. Maybe people to need to feel that strength every now and then and to take that leap of faith. Whether it be venturing into new grounds, reigniting old flames or whatever the purpose. Or perhaps the realisation some people don't often think as I do and simply need and value this day as forms of self-reassurance.

I know I sound like I hate but quite the opposite.

Love/ hate attitude towards Valentines, it's all a bit relative really - I go along with the other person...
if they are in I'm all in!
If they are cynical or whatev's I blow it off like I couldn't give a * either... I think it evens out but I don't like the commercial aspect... I could use a foot rub any day of the week... and I cook for my loved ones all the time because I love them- all the time.
Not just on one day of the year lol

QUESTION!

Do Aquas enjoy being pampered on Val day? Get all mushy and soft? do they get all distant coz V day is all about the lovely dovy mushy emotions stuff.. (just curious)



me and hubby are pretty simple people. We dont'like too much extravagance, (plus we are trying to save!!!) I usually make a nice big bubble bath for us. My hubs is just a snuggle wuggles wug wug!! *shakes happily with joy*

Its a weird day where grown women walk around carrying teddy-bears IN PUBLIC. I never quite undestood the reason behind the "i love u" bears & cups, its strange. The day has no meaning for me, but I do enjoy watching the buzz & excitement from other people. I might buy myself some lingerie, make dinner and eat infront of my huge living-room mirror while listening to the soundtrack of Titanic. Who said you cant be sexy & romantic alone?
