Valentine’s Day Is Round The Corner.

Oh well today’s a bit better for me as my throat is not as swollen as yesterday and the flu kind of died down I guess. However the dizziness is still there as I think it might be the work of the medicine that I had taken yesterday. I guess the post I made yesterday was kind of like a bit of a venting outlet for me as that time I was feeling unwell and stuffs like that. All in all…its just nothing. Life will still go on and it won’t stop when you whine all the time. Luck will even run away when you are down in the slumps all the time. Lol! Oh well…Been looking for a great year ahead of me though. CNY had just passed round the corner and if I am not mistaken, Valentine’s Day is really coming soon.

So what or who is Valentine? I guess not many people knew about this and had been celebrating that day ever since they heard about it. Normally it is being celebrated on the 14th of February. So let’s get to the root of Valentine. According to History.com, cited from the website regarding the history of Valentine, it stated that according to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France. (http://www.history.com/content/valentine/history-of-valentine-s-day) To me it could be interpreted this way where people are commemorating the anniversary of Valentine. Interesting fact here. So its understandable where people are giving away flowers and love notes to their loved ones during this time of the year.

Another thing that shrouded me in darkness is what’s with all those chocolates? Of all things…why chocolates? Correct me if I’m wrong. Might it be the cause of the word ‘sweet’? Hmmm…because chocolates are sweet and this is one of the way that they represent their loved ones telling them that they are sweet. Well a cute cuddly bear would do too. I guess someone should give me an insight on these things as I went through the Internet, there are not many specific answers. Guess its all in the mindset being imprinted into our minds through the media especially the television.
