I became very aware of Feb 14th ever since I started my first serious relationship. I learned that girls give chocolates to the guys they like, and guys would send flowers same day of month after to show they have same feelings. I learned making strawberry with chocolate and some little handcraft as nice little present on Valentine's day. Well I didnt do everything so good but I'm always this little romantic girl spending hours doing things like that. Now I know it is very asian and probably sometimes it is bit too much. But I will still get excited about this day and want to do sth no matter its for the ones I love or only for fun.
Last year I heared this very funny saying that Valentine's Day is actually meanwhile the single realizing day -- on this day people would have this "oh let me think how long I've been single for?" thought. And remember last year I was hanging out with girls who of course were single at the time, we were so dressed up on purpose and went to TST wanna have our own big night. Which was actually impossible because you have no idea how Hong Kong can be do crowded by couples and lovers. And we felt being outplayed totally totally.
I used to be so conscious about how lonely it is being single on Valentine's Day. But now I guess I just have to live with what life brought me. Today I am happy. I am happy because my friends are feeling happy. I am happy because we are together and we have love. And we are aware of that fact that we are being loved, by friends, family, boyfriends/girlfriends.
I was still giving chocolates (although I didnt make them myself :-P) and sending wishes. Oh and we had this Valentine's party at Klubb Fantoft and the only thing the organizers had is let us put on strings to show our relationship status --- pink to show you're single, red to show you're taken, both means you're in an open relationship which is funny. And it is also my observation that guys who are actually in relationships would choose only red for sure, however girls who are acutally not single would choose to put on both just for fun.
It has been long since last time I came out for social party because of my damn ankle so I had lots of fun talking tonight. I made a long phone call to daddy since he just arrived Vancouver to see mommy (well it just happened to be on a Valentine's Day, my dad is never that romantic!). So now is four in the morning and Valentine's Day is just over!
I'm still looking forward to my next Valentine's Day and hopefully I could spend it with my boyfriend.
