This morning I received a heart-warming sms from a dear old friend of MU days : "Altho XX n above oledi, today is Valentine's Day. Lets express our luv. I think abt all the ppl dear to me n so i say to u -- Happy Valentine's!" To all my family members, relatives and friends, who are reading this blog, this is also my message to you! :-)
Actually, I don't buy into all this Western Valentine commercialism. But, a warm message is always appreciated. Thus my reply to this old friend: "May everyday b a Valantine's Day! "
Yes, everyday is a Valantine's Day if we express and show our love for dear ones around us, in whatever small ways we can. :-)
Even though this day is no big deal to me, I do remember one very special Valentine's Day. And, that was the year after I came back from my study in the US. On that Valentine's Day, I received a beautiful flower arrangement from a friend in Honolulu, via interflora! To this day, I still keep the shell-shaped vase, and the bright red styrofoam heart marked " Happy Valentine's Day". The flowers are long gone and dead, but the memory remains....BTW, I have since used the vase for a different arrangement, with artificial flowers! :-)
