St. Valentine’s Day
"Valentine’s Day falls on February 14, and is the
traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know
about their love, commonly by sending Valentine’s cards, which are
often anonymous. The history of Valentine’s day can be traced back to
an obscure Catholic Church feast day, said to be in honor of Saint
Valentine, are discussed below. The day’s associations with romantic
love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of
romantic love was formulated."
That’s the defination I got from googling. I have to say that the day of honoring St. Valentine is long gone and replaced by honoring ourselves. I have heard that some girls actually badger their partners to purchase expensive gifts or flowers in order to compare with other girls’ gifts to see who got the better gift. Poor guys (both monetary and otherwise).
I have to say that I am fortunate not to get stuck in that situation and I have an understanding girl. The best of all, for us at least, Valentine’s Day is not celebrated on the 14th of Feb but on another day. Esther and I celebrate Valentine’s Day on a different day. Great for us. ^_^
So what happened today? Nothing. I configured frame relay, inter-VLAN routing and such just to keep practice. Esther did her stuff. I went home and ate with my family while she has her own dinner. That’s about it. Last year? I can’t even remember. The year before that? I was in the office trying to configure a server while she was having dinner outside. What about the first Valentine’s Day? I was at home reading fiction (fantasy) while she was having dinner outside. Hmm….I’m going to think about what happened last Valentine’s Day. Oh well, it will come back to me. So for those of you out there having a blast…do let me know what you’ve done. Share with me so that I may know what other people are doing on Valentine’s Day. So that’s why today’s blog is kinda boring cause there’s nothing to write.
For those of you had a good time, then I want to say "good for you" sincerely and may Valentine’s Day be a day of rememberence and a taste of what true love is all about. ^_^
