The Day of Hearts...

Happy Valentine's Day to all...

This is the time when most of the people tend to be "corny"... I think the word does not exist when one is in love. Most people today tend to have this "love spell" thing... most of us wear red... people buy flowers even if the price tripled... its hard to find a place to dine or spend private moments together (LOL), since most establishments today are fully booked...watching movies (take note: Tagalog starring Richard G.), I'm sure, we have a full packed theaters today... and a lot more things not usually done by a lot of couples except for today...

In as much as dating is "in" today, some might be thinking otherwise due to the traffic that they might encounter (not to mention, malls today are overcrowded)... but even though that might be the case, many would still take the risk just to be romantic during this day...

Just a brief history, Saint Valentine's Day or commonly known as "Valentine's Day" is an annual celebration of love and affection between intimate couples held on the 14th of February. St. Valentine was executed because he refused to be converted to Roman paganism, instead he attempted to convert Roman Emperor Claudius II to Christianity during their discussion. Although he can't be connected to any story of romance, there were knowledge of his refusal to unattested law of the Emperor ordering single men to remain single to become good soldiers. Nevertheless,Valentine, as a priest, still secretly performed marriage ceremony for young couples. The day February 14, on the other hand, was uncritically assumed by the readers of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Parlement of Fouls" (this is the first record where Valentine's Day was first associated with romantic love) ... in the phrase "For this was Saint Valentine's Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate."... that he was referring to as Valentine's Day; however, it is not likely for birds in England to mate in the middle of February.

But no matter how we celebrate it or what's the story behind it... we will always be romantics, in our own special way... even if it is corny to others... "SO WHAT"...(LOL)... God bless to all...
