LiebeLiebe!

I'm no romantic but I'm no cynic either. For the longest time (or is it a consequence of the circumstances then), I have been "cool" about Valentine's. Since it's a HUGE thing back in the Philippines, it's almost a crime to just shrug it off like any other day. What with little red hearts, candies and teddy bears aplenty in every shopping mall in the country. So as society won't disapprove, one must somehow "celebrate" the day, usually by spending time with single friends when a significant other is yet to be found. It's never my favorite of holidays but a day of in-your-face "romance" in a year isn't so bad. ;-)

And I remember growing up cutting little hearts from red cardboard paper and coming home with a big smile plastered on my face whilst handing my piece of artwork to my parents. I remember the thrill of getting flowers and cards from secret admirers-- the days of adolescence when we still feigned disgust over the little teddies when we were really flattered to bits and ecstatic inside.

It's amusing to go down that road & especially funny from the grander scheme of things. I had my share of in-your-face romance today and as "uncool" as it may seem, I was esctatic!

They say that you know it's right when both your heart and your head agree on one person. I must say, for me, it's definitely a unanimous decision.

Happy Valentine's everyone!
