V day!

On v day with no date, there's no way i can run away and profess that i am truly happee single and available. Note: ONLY on v day tt is. haha! on other days, i'm extremely self-sufficient... satisfied with my work, happy to have the freedom to do whatever i like, have enough time to pursue my interests and short-term goals, spend my money on me and myself only, etc. However on v day, attached frens and family zoom far away, of course to celebrate THE impt day with their significant other. dunno how to describe but i feel a kinda emptiness in my life.

must be all the lovey-dovey dramas and novels i've been exposing myself to... after all those, who wouldn't be filled with fantasies abt being doted on, pampered upon and deemed as important by somebody? of course, i yearn to have someone like that by my side too... haha! i'm not so desperate as in i want someone now NOW... but i believe sometime in the future, the time will come for him to step into my life. but ONLY on v day, i'll wish and wonder why can't he be here already to celebrate v day with me?

haha... which makes me think "what's up with this v day"? this totally hyped up and overemphasized day which is not even a public holiday makes ppl go bonkers (and broke) every single yr. ppl rush to book restaurants, crack their heads for the ohh-so-perfect gifts and pay exorbitant prices for useless things. v day has become exploited by the market into a great money-making avenue. because it's so overcommercialized, v day has become superficial and pointless to some pple.

hence, v day becomes special only if it is spent with that special someone... even without the frills and extravagance. it's really the company and the joy of sharing... definitely not the expensive candlelight dinner or the glittering gift. haha! u girls are gonna hit me in the head and say "what? and forgo the pleasure of receiving ohh-so-perfect gifts?" oh please... since when do guys know how to buy those ohh-so-perfect gifts anyway? haha!
