Today is the day after Valentine's day, and I had a bit of travel time so I was looking at my timeline and found that so many people had put pictures of flowers and chocolates there..
Flowers and chocolate..
I found an interesting article on the origins of Valentine's Day..

First of all.. I don't want a present because card company's say so.. I'd like a present that's given with some meaning..
Secondly, if someone had got me flowers and chocolate on any other day maybe I'd post it on FB as a pleasant surprise (I post way less important things all the time) but on Valentines day no.. I'd be appreciative, cos I love chocolate and yeah flowers are pretty but I don't see the need to advertise that i was bought exactly what everyone thinks they should get their gf, with no thought at all. If my bf knew me a little he would get me a large jar of nutella and a bouquet of Lillys (yeah they're funeral flowers but they're my favourites).. its at least a variation on the theme.. and would show that maybe he wasn't just going through the motions.. a previous Valentine's day present was a bundle of PlayStation games... that's a present that says I know what you like and want.
Valentine's is also a day of love confessions right? Be my Valentine and all that? Its not impressive to get someone almost exactly the same as everyone else.. I'd be in underwhelmed by the lack of imagination.. LOL am I just being harsh?
I don't wanna sound bitter because I'm not.. I really enjoyed watching things get blown up and one of the best car chase scenes ever in A Good Day to Die Hard yesterday for Valentine's n had a super chill evening.. it was great.. I was just looking down my timeline and feeling a little sorry for the people who only get flowers and chocolate on Valentine's day..
On a side note I could see who had forked out and who hadn't.. I mean some of these posts were right next to each other.. sometimes the last poster made the first poster's flowers look really cheap.. @.@
