Notes on Valentines'.

After reading all the post-Valentines' entries, I would like to extend the blessings to BOTH the groups of singles and couples.

Had you had a great Valentines'?
This Valentines' has been a day, or period, rather, of mixed feelings for everyone (including you. yes, YOU). sweetness(double choc, caramelised, honey comb, diabetically aphrodisiacal), bitterness(vomit-inducing, tear-generating, the thought stopper), pain(heart wrenching, intolerable, pleasurable?), ecstatical bliss(         ) and love. Some more, some less. Some all and more.

-How do u say how much you feel with three words, or less(or none)?


(not trying to put a point forward here but all the people with emo status' seem to have their names start with the letter after 'I')
Just kidding..

"I love you" (or replace 'love' with other words with more or less 4 letters)
"I'm _____" (choose from:happy, sad, excited, crushed, lonely, emotional, silly or insert own word)


-How do you surprise?
A flower? A bouquet? 99 roses?
A ring? A proposal with a knee on the ground?
A profession of love? A gift to the stranger always sitting beside you during lectures? Random love notes to all the lockers in school(for fun, to fish, for business)?


-How do u deal with the surprise/disappointment?
Feel happy that he/she is beaming with joy?
Expect something in return?
Feel crushed that everything has come to waste?
Wonder how much he/she means what they say?
Be caught in that tangle of memory of disappointment and pain?
Feel like "Miss Invisible" or "The Man Who Can't Be Moved"?

In this light, it is so strange to know that the titles of the top 4 songs of 2008 are:
Apologise
Low
Take A Bow
Stranger

Others included in the top 100 are:
Your Love Is A Lie
Crush
No One
Disturbia
Better in Time
Misery Business
Empty
No Air
Shadow of the Day
Heartbreaker
Like You'll Never See Me Again
Inconsolable
Leavin'
Can't Hold On
Sorry
Hate That I Love You

Then again, to the people in a relationship, I wish you'd stay happy in that relationship and find love in your partner and find bliss in your relationship (ever after). To the people who do not have a partner, maybe the person you are looking for (consciously or not) might just be an acquaintance or someone among your friends. You'd never know what will happen. That stranger in the long train home might just be someone to you in years to come. To the people who have chosen to remain single, rejoice. Single Awareness Day does not have to be a sad day. Valentines' already over anyway.

Rejoice. Bliss is upon us(like the heat rays). Tomorrow never dies and tomorrow will be good. =)
