PLease ignore the cynical tone to this post should It seem as if I feel unhappy. Because I'm not. Well, at least not with others. =)
I had a

Will you be my valentine?
Wonder how many people have said this on this day.
Yes, VDay sounds like Dooms Day.
But this year's never turned out the way I wanted it to be.
Aih.
The world is really hopeless.
Seriously.
I mean, I used to think life and the world is hopeless.
But right now it's just the world.
Somehow today it has opposed me.
Of all days.
All that planning. Thinking, ideas.
(I'm not elaborating on that here, please be dissatisfied)
All gone.
(How can Plan A B C D all fail simultaneously?)
Why?
Because the world opposes people at times.
Take this example. Last year, before Coco Night, I went out to McDs ALONE, bought and sat in the McDs ALONE, and then ate the 5.95 McChicken ALONE.
I mean, its fine with me being all alone and all. But you know what.
Sitting around me where all couples. Seriously.
The ones working, the handful from Chunghwa, or even from some Malay School. All were in pairs. Excluding one group of buddies.
Similarly. The forces opposes me again today.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Never not trust that uneasy, restless, ominous feeling you get occasionally.
It's called instinct.
I mean, excluding those with causes. I mean, the times when for no reason you have that bad feeling.
So trust it.
Take caution.
And as for those who had the world oppose them at their most important moments, we have money. This is why people rent restaurants, or even tip off people to keep that area empty, for them to be alone. Or even have things happen at timed intervals.
They control the variables of life.
Most of it.
The reason why people pay alot to rent a private area to enjoy alone time with that special one or even before proposing. Is to make sure that the forces of nature (or the world) don't play a fool and try to screw things up. To make sure that no one will come and mess it up, like perhaps a drunk idiot suddenly coming in and singing some song, or little brats coming in and say, "ewww!"
Luck just isn't enough, we want to safeguard luck.
For that special moment, planning just isn't enough at times.
Or maybe it's my karma.
Cruel world.
So much for that memorable last F5 valentine thing. Of all days. (I'm a sentimental sucker) I mean, after that, chances are we won't see that person anymore, and they end up as a chapter of our life. (or optimistically, they meet again, and fall in love, the rest, they say, is history) Either way, it's something you will remember.
Or perhaps I simply ain't good enough, to do something right.
I guess, besides blaming the forces of nature. There is no one else to blame, but me.
I Fail?
In my books yes.
Though not that bad.
I tried.
=)
Guess I'm not good enough to do it.
Right, time for advice now.
What happens when you jokingly say "where's my valentine?" to someone, and that someone actually produces a valentine last minute.
Here i refer the valentine as small tokens of appreciation.
well, from my point of view. You should say, "sorry, I didn't know you'd take me seriously" and then maybe proceed to saying some very clear friend things.
You should not give back a valentine, as they have taken the initiative to buy or get you something, giving back would be a rude and mean action.
Do not buy back or get a valentine for that person.
It makes them to wonder and ponder and screw themselves up.
But if you want to, buy back and give back but explain clearly why you are buying back and also that you are strictly friends.
It's not good to bring other peoples hopes up for nothing.
At least that's how I see it.
But of course, if you laid that joke as a hint that you like the person, and the person responses, then bu-yeah for you. Do what you like.
But don't bring people's hopes up for nothing, and also play with their feelings.
Still there are a LARGE fraction of people not like me, they don't take these things seriously, and think its all good fun and crap. In essence, think before you do the next step. For it affects people.
Also don't take too long to give any answer. A no is always better than silent static.
Do girls usually buy valentines for guys?
Perhaps its here in WMS, but I don't really see that happen here. (then again, I don't see everything)
Or is it a custom for them to just take?
From what I know, it used to be a girl thing, but lo and behold, seems like guys bother more now.
Not that it's a bad thing.
I mean look, just a thought, we should not expect anything in return.
But I believe, fellow males, that girls do not give valentines unless they are in a serious relationship with you.
(That way they don't look vain, and desperate, and we guys have the courtesy of making the first move!) hehehe.
Its that dumb social normality again.
Ah phooey.
On a valentines day.
Not to say it's been a sad day. I've been happy. =) Just not so happy with myself.
But well, disappointed at the forces.
Ciao.
Stay happy nonetheless.
For I am not alone.
=)
[End note: I feel great nowadays. Albeit the many stressful things to do]
