"V" Day

14 February - The famous 'V' day....



What exactly is it?


Well, originally, its the time to show your love to your beloveds; parents, family, friends and of course, your lover how much you love them.


I used to really believe that we all should celebrate this day, grandly. Plans are made way before time to ensure things go smoothly and perfectly.



But after awhile, i noticed, this lovely day is being fully manipulated by the florists and gift shops as well as the F&B outlets. Everything is sooo overpriced and commercialised. Not too mention the 'sense of duty by the men' to celebrate it. Gone the love and warmth. They just feel that they have to celebrate and plan the most perfect (and most expensive!) in order not to get in 'trouble' later. Dinner, movies and of course not forgetting 'The Gift'! If the guy pick out some practical gift, the girl would get all sensitive and sulk. WTF?!


Now, I cant say i am a non-believer. But I truly belive Love should be shown and celebrated EVERYDAY. Because you may never know what will happen in between now until valentine's. And I also believe Valentine's is not restricted to happy couples. It should be among family and close friends. Idealically, we should spread the love to the less fortunate as well - the orphans, the old folks and the less priviledged.

Anyhooo.... coming back to the real world....


I had a simple and yet meaningful day with my hunny. In fact, its rather funny and unconventional.


We went to The Curve to have lunch and then watch movie. And we plan to drop in to see and give support to Phabes and the Pagi Show gang because they are holding a speed dating thingy. Thought it might be fun.


Unfortunately they didnt get the crowd that they want and on top of that, some of the male contestants chickened out at the very last minute. So, they were being replaced by their own crew. I went to say hello to Phabes and he told me what happen and asked where is Rizal. At that time he was smoking outside. I gave Phabes the idea to get Rizal to go for the speed dating. Phabes was soo grateful and grabbed the opportunity because he was forced to be one of the contestants.


So, Rizal went for it. And i was cheering on the side. The Pagi Show was so surprised that I allowed and was very cool about it. After all, it was Valentine's Day. But i was totally ok with it. In fact, i told and sort of dared Rizal by saying this is the time for him to practice and show his power of 'ayat-ing'! Below is Rizal with Nadia. Pity her, she had a really freakishly weird and creepy stalker that refuse to leave her alone! Eeew! Really scary! Anyway, after that, we went for lunch with them at Tony Roma's.





After our free lunch, we watched Valkyrie. It was surprisingly good. Was definitely enlightened about the German soldiers at that time. Hm..


Then it is the best time - shopping for our Valentine gifts. After a major let down, because The Curve sucks when it comes to variety of shopping outlets, we decided to take a look at One Utama.


Finally, we found it. I have been waiting for a LONG time for this. And i dont care if its for Valentine's or even on a normal Monday...I must have it. And i got it, at last! Thanks my love!!


I bought for Rizal Polo Sports perfume by Ralk Lauren. Its so very nice!! I also bought this really cool sunglasses!

We had a great time!
