Valentine's Day

:O My first Valentines Day on blogspot. :) Not that exciting. Today, at school, walking around, I could spot all the people that were going to get loads of roses and teddy bears. The roses this year were expensive. I knew there were many people that get annoyed on Valentine’s Day because they might not get any roses, they get annoyed of couples, they might think V-Day is stupid or they think it’s a just a normal day.

I received two roses this year, which is pretty ‘Ok’ I guess, because it shows at least I got some love. I bought a black rose for my mum because a rose is usually a symbolism of love and affection, but black usually shows death and darkness. So basically, I hate my mum and dad in the most loveable way.

There are also a couple of things I hate and like about Valentine’s Day.

The cost

Roses are usually around $1-2, but at my school they are $2.50 for a Silk Rose. The Fresh roses were $4 and I was thinking w-t-h. Are you serious ?! The rose is so fragile and will die a week later, buy a fake rose it will last forever. The teddy bears are attached to the rose which I don’t like because you gotta buy both the Rose AND the Bear, but I would just sell the rose to keep the teddy bear. That’s just my school.

Tricks

With some of my friends they pull up this line before V-day “I’m gonna buy you a rose” and I would reply “Okay, I’ll buy you one as well”.After that, you would just feel FORCED to buy them a rose, like a gift in return. I think the idea is; to buy yourself a rose, but to show it off more when you walk around the school. I also think it’s a bit of a waste of money.

Evidence of Love

At my school, roses are handed out to you in roll call. I somehow ended up sitting next to one of the really popular girls and the students were delivering the gifts. She received like 8 roses or something with cards stuck to them that usually say "Hey cutie pie! Happy Valentine's Day, love you so much xo" or something like that. I'm not used to those words, so for me its just like                              *awkward*                              . While she was receiving her gifts, her face was just like "I know bruh, got lots of love, happens everyday" and I was sitting next to her thinking " FOREVER ALONE!! ". 

Waste like $50 every year. Afterwards, they walk around the school showing off their love and they're probably thinking or expressions look like "YOU JEALOUS, BITCH?" :L Nearly all the guys in the grade don't have any roses cause they're so 'manly'.

Affection

I don't get any roses when it comes to Valentine's Day, but I got 2 this year from my closest friends which made me pretty happy. Sometimes, I get sad and moody so it was nice to receive something. Remember "its about the quality not the quantity" ... ;) ... but it would've been nice to receive more stuff. Better than nothing. That quote is used for people who recieve less, but still wanna look cool, like me ;)      ;).  HAHAHHA.

A Reminder

I know many people say that Valentine's Day is pointless because you should love your family, friends and partner EVERYDAY, instead of loving them on the 14th of February. I actually do want to thank the guy or girl that made Valentine's Day 'official' on some calendars because sometimes I forget to love my mum, my friends & family.

It might be a pointless day to buy gifts, but it does remind me to appreciate and to love.

Overall, it was quite nice to receive something from some friends. :)
