Holy hearts day, Batman!

So it's Valentine's Day, another "holiday" invented by greeting card companies. It's hard to miss since there have been red crepe/cardboard hearts hanging all over the office's ceiling since the beginning of February. Flowers are sold everywhere, and I mean literally everywhere. Offers for couples here and there (buy 1 palm pilot get the second one for your loved one at half the price, free 2 hours at your favorite motel, get a free blow for every prostitute bought, etc.). Chocolates and balloons at every store's window.

To tell you the truth, I have never had a proper Valentine. And when I say proper, I mean a real Valentine date on the day of hearts. And no, I am not bitter because of that. The most fun "date" I've had was when me and a couple of dateless highschool friends when out for dinner and drinks and walked along Manila bay while holding hands because one of us might get "pimped". We ended up scaring each other on the steps of the Manila cultural center and giving our doggie bags to street kids who said a few not so nice things since they were expecting money.

Then it wasn't Valentine's day anymore and the single people were special again.

I actually think it's quite sad that some couples make such a big deal out of this day and make such an effort to make their partner feel special. Wake up and smell the dozen red roses you guys!!!! Everyday should be Valentine's day. You don't need a day that only comes once a year to make her feel special. Everyday should be a special day. Imagine if she'd only agree to having sex with you for one special day. I know that would be a disaster.

In conclusion, f*ck Valentine's day...but not only during Valentine's day.
*if you know what I mean*

Now it's time for me to avail of that free massage they're offering on the 36th floor: the only real good thing about the day of hearts.
