I know i know, it’s still a few days away from valentines, but I should use this time to stress what a meaningless holiday this is.

Val-en-tines is a greek word. Val meaning many, en meaning men and tines meaning spending of useless money. So together, it roughfully means a bunch of men chucking out millions of dollars…

..

I’m kidding, it doesn’t mean dat, but I reckon it should be.

Every year, on the 14th of Feb, nearly every single girl would get something, a hug? a kiss? chocolates? roses? hundred bucks dinners? and for the unlcuky few, maybe nothing, but i bet, there’s some guy, somewhere, wanting to give her something.

For the rich ones, oh it doesn’t matter, spill away a few hundred dollars, who cares, all to make the misses happy right. But for the poorer few, it’s not that easy.

Now you stop and ask yourself, why, why, and why do we need a set day to tell each other we love..no wait…let me rephrase… Why do we need a set day to let the guy to tell the girl that he loves her?

Like andy said. This day is not about love at all, it’s all about spending money. For the guys, it’s about buying more more and more things for their girl so she would be happy. For the girls, it’s about getting more more and more things to brag to their girlfriends. If everyone else meet on the day after, and talks about valentines day, you wouldn’t want your girl to feel left out right?

picture this:

Girl A: I feel so loved~! my boyfriend brought me to this nice three course dinner costing him like over 500 dollars.
Girl B: Oh yea? well, my boyfriend bought me 99 roses which costed him like $1000, i even have the receipt~!
Girl C: Oh yea? My boyfriend bought me a car for valentines day….
Your girl: Oh yea? Well my boyfriend, he, he, he, he, he….he um..he loves me so much that he gave me a hug and a kiss and we spent the whole romantic night watching rented movies. Uh huh! that’s right~!

no…you don’t want to be that guy…

While on the other side

Guy A: Yea i spent like $500 on my girl….i need to get another job…
Guy B: Dude, you had it easy, i had to spend about $1000, and she even asked for the receipt, so i couldn’t even get the cheap roses…
Guy C: Com’n guys, you think that’s bad, i bought a car for my gf…..lets just say I need to rob a few banks in the next few days.
Guy D: um.. I gave my girl a hug and a kiss and we spent the whole romantic night watching rented movies…all night costed me $7.95
All the other three guys: HOW DA F*** DID YOU SURVIVE AFTER THAT DUDE YOUR GIRL ROX FOR NOT KILLING YOU.

yes…that’s basically what happens..

What did you say? lets boycott valentines day? You don’t believe in valentines day? Hahaha~! Well, if you go strike on valentines day, say good bye to ur girl, if you don’t believe in valentines day, that’s like saying you don’t believe in the existence of ur girl. It ain’t a good idea guys.

So knowing how much cow manure we are in, what should we do?

Work our ass off and earn some love.

Actually, v-day quite good, it’s a day for a lot of guys the extra lil push they need to speak their mind to their princess. So all you rich single guys out there, that girl you had your eyes on all these years? Now is the time~! For all you poor or stingy single guys out there, that girl you had ur eyes on? well, wait till the day’s finished, so you save money on the present

But all in all, feel the love, it’s what makes the world go around….right?
