It's by Beth Rowley, soundtrack from An Education movie.
I'm not celebrating Valentine this year. Mr. Boyfriend said that it's a waste of time. Plus, he claimed to be very busy nowadays. So, not gonna 'force' him to celebrate either. But i told him that he still need to give me present. I even give him guidelines on how to buy me a present. Something shinning or even better, sparkling. It should be wearable. And no, i don't want clothing. I owned a clothing boutique for God's sake.
In my defense, i see Valentine as a replacement for our Anniversary. We don't celebrate our Anniversary because we don't remember when we started going out. But i'm pretty sure that it is somewhere in 2006. It started out just a simple date done out of boredom. I just want to have fun and in my world, the word serious and relationship don't co-exist. But who knows what the future hold? Turned out that i'm still sticking with him until now.
Anyway, his arguments were, now we already had Birthdays, Chinese New Year, Christmas, and New Year to celebrate, next there'll be more to come when there's Mother's Day, Father's Day, Kids' Birthdays (who know?), Halloween and etc to celebrate.
Fair enough.
But then, there are 365 days in a year. Isn't life a bit tasteless if we were to anticipate only 5 personal celebrations in a year? Even the government gave us 16 days of public holidays a year. So, when the WHOLE world celebrating Valentine, should i turn on to my Robotic Mode instead? Ridiculous right? It's like you went to funeral wearing white when everybody else dressed in black. What are you trying to be? An angel or something? It's preposterous, right?
So, to all the Mr. out there, just go with the flow. There's no use to fight it. And Happy Valentine by the way.
