Valentine's Day



This day has never been just about me and my significant other, since I never had any till I was 23 and married. I always just celebrated it as a day of doing nice things for others. Since giving to others has always been fun for me, the anticipation of seeing someone's reaction to a surprise is multiplied over many times when I do things for other people and not just one person.

Even after being married, we always did something for random people in our home. Roses to all the single ladies, a card for the guys or some special treat for a good friend.

And this year was no different. Cards were given to all the guys, signed by all the ladies, and the latter each received one rose. (No one knew about the roses and the guys did not know about the cards and..did I forget to mention the chocolate?..I did.) Oh and I also was part of a secret surprise for someone...shhhhhh......Anyways, I had fun.

Besides I also did get something solid out of it all besides satisfaction of seeing a bunch of happy people, some tulips from DV and roses from Kenny who insisted that I buy them using his pocket money since they were a special present from him to me. So sweet.

So Happy Valentines to you all. May you use it to make someone's day brighter.
