On Valentine's day..
In the run up to the most awaited 'Day' in February, the radio and social media was filled with promos regarding how to 'celebrate' the day of love.. It would make me gag when I heard/read stuff like 'Come, let's celebrate the month/week of LOVE'.. Jeez!! I'm not exactly the 'romantic' types.. Don't get me wrong.. I do care about the people in my life.. Just that I don't need a 'day' to tell them that I love them.. They're supposed to see it in the things I do for them.. And my memories of Valentine's day are limited to checking out what colored clothes classmates/college mates were dressed in on that day.. Because apparently each colour signified a meaning.. So while I would stick to 'safe' colours like yellow or white, I wouldn't waste an opportunity to bug an unsuspecting classmate who was dressed in red or pink signifying they're in a relationship or interested to be in one.. Talk about cheap thrill
