Happy Valentine's day~!

Valentine's day is coming up really soon~! I wasn't particularly conscious of the date but thanks to the ads and social network, I am very aware. Thank you so very much, I really don't know what my life would have been without knowing this bit of information. *sarcastic*

Valentine's day has grown from a humble day to appreciate our partner to a ridiculous and extravagant built up of expectation. And I am saying this even though I am in a relationship! I am not an anti-romance kinda person but perhaps a die hard romantic at heart. If a pair of lover are happy together, valentine's day would be almost another day in their calendar. You won't wait until valentine's day to give flowers, would you? You won't wait for valentine's day to buy something really nice for your partner, would you? How about looking them in the eye and telling them that you love them? That goes without saying, right?

What I am trying to say is that if you are happy, everyday would be a valentine's day. With or without the roses and the chocolates. (cause I am not really a fan of bouquets or chocolates)

But to actually set aside a day and say 'hey, you guys gotta spend the day together ridiculously happy!' is a bit pushing it for me. This year is the second time in our relationship that we are apart. Honestly, I don't feel that self-pity that so often befalls me. So what if he doesn't lavish me with expensive gifts? So what if he is not able to make it? So what if we don't share dinner? It doesn't matter. We spent most of our time awesomely to reaffirmed to me that he is the One. When my friend asked me what we are doing on valentine's day, I told them nothing as we will be apart. Then she went into all sympathy mode and started her cooing voice. 

It was then the crickets decided to start their symphony.... #ThatAwkwardMoment.... *poker face*

That kinda sucks. The stress of being happy together on this particular day robs me of what really matters.

It is very hard to describe how it feels to be in a relationship for 7 years~! Once, I told my friend that we have been together for 7 years, she was shocked. She had known her husband for 2 years before getting to married and later having a daughter, now aged 5. Yes, that is exactly what 7 years could have been for us. Probably a baby and maybe a dog too... My friend told me, '7 years? You should break up and be with more guys before you settle down.'

And I did the cereal puking action, except there is no cereal inside my mouth. 

Perhaps she doesn't know that commitment is not because I do not have anybody else to choose rather I do not WANT anybody else. Even though the world may seemed like a buffet table for some, I don't want to eat till I puke. 

I remember the day I picked up my hubby at the airport, I didn't know how I would feel or act after living without him for such a long time. Would we be distant? Would we need to re-established our past intimacy and trust? It felt weird to say that as we have been together so long, but it is true. Would I still love him the way I have always did? While I was fretting about all this questions, I spotted a face in the crowd. I didn't recognize at first, but I was attracted to him instantly. I almost looked away when the other person waved, before I realized it was my hubby all this time.  

Love is such a beautiful feeling, so don't just do something special on Valentine's day, every other day deserved our attention as well. Happy Valentine's day to every single person and couples in love~!
