Spoiler for :
...... WHOA. I am seriously impressed by these sweets. They're all hand-made!? That's crazy! I can't say too much since I stayed up really late last night making my own chocolates to give away ^_^ Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I have someone I want to talk to on AIM (since we rarely see each other in person), but she's not on right now.
I don't really like Valentine's day, though. More than half my school's track team skipped out, using Valentine's day as an excuse.(I doubt ALL those people were going out on dates and stuff) Oh well. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Well, tonight was fun. Dinner was pad thai and salad, and Jon somehow managed to find a copy of Ladyhawke to rent, and we watched Howl's Moving Castle too. and he gave me a giant bag of jellybeans--not my most favorite candy, but he put a lot of thought into it so it was sweet.

My night went very well also. We dressed up for fun and went to a fun place for dinner, exchanged gifts (gave him a box of hand-made chocolates and a cheapo kiddy disc shooter....we had a war when we got back home, why are guys so naturally better at fighting w/ toy guns?!). Then just spent the rest of the night pleasantly The chocolates I made ^_^

Well, seeing as we're just under a week away from Singles' Awareness Day, I thought it'll be good to revive this thread to save newbies from creating unnecessary threads.
Don't get ripped off -- buy those roses in advance. Tip: For those in Singapore, get up early and buy them from the market, if your closest one has a flower stall. To those who are getting Valentines: I HATE YOU. |

Oh Lord, is this where the singles of youth turn super emo and I as a fellow single young person get to feed off your misery for the day and take the piss out of you all?
(Seriously, am I like the only single person who isn't too bothered with Val's day?) Honestly, chill already. So what you're not in a relationship? Rather than mope, treat yourself to something nice for a change. Or do like most do and simply ignore the day and get on with your lives. :\ You're single. Wow you don't have to spend money on others or think of something romantic or worry about trying to please your other half with something new. And even then it depends on the couple, many nowadays can't be arsed with the commercial aspect and will just snuggle or chill together indoors as usual. Each day or holiday is what you make of it. Personally I just buy myself a new gadget every Val's day. (but am poor this year so can't afford anything) *sniff* And to some of my male single mates, we wish each other 'happy val's day' At this point, i was mildly wondering about any male friends over here in Tokyo who i'd have to toss chocolate out to, but I think i can get away with it and not give any this year. Means on 'white day', i'll probably be chocolate-less too.

I am going to an 18th birthday party the day before St. Valentines day, and will most likely be spending the night there, drunk. So for Valentines day it is probably safe to say that the morning will be spent with friends...and maybe hangovers.

Don't dwell on it if your single this V-day. I know I spent many of them alone, either with friends doing something, or really just alone. Things are of course different since last year I had a GF, and now she's my wife. Don't sweat it, enjoy it as much as you can, alone or not.

What's that supposed to mean, hmm...?
Lol, don't read too much into my original statement — I was merely trying to provoke a response. I may be single, but I am a happily adjusted bachelor. To be sure, I've never really thought much about singlehood, not even during the heydays of my college life when dormmates were *ahem* having extra-curricular activities almost every other night. I did, on the other hand, take a very long time to grow comfortable with my own individuality — something that not many people are aware of, because I get along swimmingly well with almost anyone in real life. It doesn't help that I'm not terribly impressed with many local girls, and those few I am attracted to are already attached. So, I take it naturally, each day as it comes. Besides, being single means I get more money to spend on myself. Still, to those who are getting Valentines, I'll speak up on the behalf of all lonely hearts: I HATE YOU. |

I am curious, how does people celebrate it in the other countries? Is it celebrated only by the persons already in couple? Here in france, there are three things that i saw happening each year on the valentine day: those who celebrate it with their boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband, those who try to confess on that day and give flowers or presents, and some other people who just give card or present (chocolates for example) to someone they care for (friendship) My big sis already got 2 presents and a flower since last friday . Two persons actually confessed to her, and she rejected them <.< And the last one gave something to her out of friendship. She actually thinks it's kinda bad to receive something from people who confess to you when you can't return the same feelings, so she feels kinda bad about it |

I'm not really into such business holidays, neither is my hubby but we kinda get dragged in every year unwillingly by our friends. Also it's a great excuse to make and eat lots of chocolate things without being told something like; "you will get fat if you eat so much chocolate."

Valentines and all these other holidays are for sissies. All we really should have are New Years and Independence day, I think.
Okay, I can understand why they have Thanksgiving or Armistice Day, but Valentines? What the hell does it celebrate? How is someone's heart getting (figuratively) impaled a major, holiday-worthy event? |
