suddenly it's valentine's day

while everyone was busy preparing and thinking how to spend his/her day with his/her partner, here i am in the office-making this blogspot while chatting with my friend from the other line. although love songs are being played over the radio (it's one of the rarest days where we tune in to an FM station as it's always been a daily habit to listen to fresh news from the AM band) the atmosphere here is far from a happy valentine's day. i'm not saying the people here, about five including me, are mourning or something. well i'm saying valentine's day is just an idea created by businessmen to attract more money from people. and it has lived on for years,i don't know when it started (don't have time to search). but the best thing about this occasion is that people have at least a day to be corny by sending love letters, red roses, heart-shaped chocolates, etc. it's not the being corny there but the thought of doing something "sweet" for someone-that's something. that effort, it may only happen once in one's lifetime, will be forever etched in one's memory. and to those,like me who will be spending the entire day working or doing something else unrelated to this day's occasion, leave this day to them and stop being "kill joy". it's not your day anyway...peace :) happy valentine's day folks
