Kay, so...I was going down on the escalotor at the Eaton's center when I overhead a conversation from this young couple above me. I couldn't get it word from word, but this is pretty close.
The chick: ...So it's not just enough if he loves you. He has to be financially stable.
The guy: Uh, huh
The chick: You know, so he can treat you to dinner, buy you something nice once in a while...
The Guy: Yeah...
Me: .........XD LOL
I'm pretty sure she was taking about Valentine's day, where the whole main idea is to buy your love's affection with your cold hard cash. Probably the most commercialized "holiday" on our calender, I don't think there are any commercial that aren't. Why do you need a day to prove that you love them? Or should I say, why do we need a day to bribe our loved ones' affection? I don't understand that. It's really just a way for the goverment to get into your pockets by spending money on chocolate, flowers, jewlery and fluffy crap. And it's always the guys buying all this stuff for the girls. You don't usually see it the other way around.
And then there's my theory that the goverment just wants to promote romance so the population will reproduce, that way there will be more soldiers to fight in army in the future. They also push those people who are not in a relationship to feel bad so that they can try and find a mate. Sorry to all you cheesy couples out there, but Valentine's day is a sham. One. Big. Sham.
Kay, I'm done.

I give stuff to my friends and family on Valentine's. And it doesn't have to be cards or jewelry or flowers - last year I made some homemade chocolates, and gave them to my friends with a fluffy romantic song quote. For me, it's an excuse to thank the people I care about for being there for me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, those girls who demand stuff on Valentine's make me really mad. Seriously, ask not what your friends/significant other can do for you, but what you can do for them.
Well, romance is popular in movies and TV shows, but you can get stuff for your friends too on Valentines day. =)
ReplyDeleteYeah, homemade stuff is cute, it's nice to give stuff like that to your friends as well. But my friends and I don't even do that, Valentine's isn't a big hing with us. We're kind of anti-valentine's day.
