Three long years
A Princess and Bunny conversation.
Place: Popular bookstore in Tun Jugah
Time: Sometime yesterday afternoon (^.^)
Bunny: Darling, when will we get to finally spend another Valentine's Day together?
Princess: Hmmm?
Bunny: Don't you realise that we have only spent ONE Valentine's Day TOGETHER? =(
Princess: Really?? Right, come to think of it..
Bunny: Yea, it was when we first got together. The year after that in 2007, you were in National Service.
Princess: Uhuh. How sucky.
Bunny: And the year after that, you were in college.
Princess: =/
Bunny: And this year, you're flying off to Melbourne. =( =( =(
Princess: ... Sowee darling.
Bunny: So WHEN can we celebrate Valentine's together my Princess??
Princess: Um.. I don't know. =/
Bunny: *sigh*
I know Valentine's can be very overrated. Florists would mark up the prices of flowers just to earn a short term profit, hotels would offer some sort of special priced packages for their rooms (target: couples who just want a *ahem* special night together), restaurants would change their menus and kill you with the bill after you finish your meal and people would try their best to get a date with the girl or guy they have been obsessed with for the past couple of days? months? years maybe?
Well anyway, Valentine's Day has never been such a special day for me in the past.
Yea, it's a bit early to talk about Valentine's but who cares? =P
I was not like many other girls who received notes or flowers from secret admirers near and far. From what I recall, I did not get anything at all, except maybe a card and a few wishes from friends, but no, nothing from any admirers. I do wonder, "What the hell is wrong with the boys my age?"
Haha.
Nah, just kidding, but it would definitely be interesting! I guess I was not one of the so-called "hot girls" or the "popular ones" which boys would go crazy over. I think I'm glad that I was kind of like the quiet and mysterious one which people hardly knew and hardly heard of, and probably the type which guys are afraid to walk up to. XD Anyway, if ever I got any secret admirers last time, I would ruin it all by digging for info and tracking the fella down. Mwahahaha!
Hear my Amazonian woman roar! RRRAWWRRRR!!!
=D
*clears throat*
Yea so, Valentine's Day was like any other normal day until 2006. Someone made it special that year by asking me to go steady with him and on that very day, we were officially, a couple/an item/boyfriend-girlfriend. *blush* (^.^)
Hmmm.. Looking back again, that seems to be THE ONLY special Valentine's Day I had, so far. XD The year after that, I was in Sematan with fellow NS victims and last year, I had a normal college day surrounded by the lovey dovey atmosphere of couples holding hands and people carrying bouquets of roses, helium filled heart-shaped balloons and all sorts of things you see during that particular day.
Oh well, I'm not that upset that I would not be able to spend Valentine's Day with Rendall this year, I'm just a bit upset that we would not be able to celebrate our anniversary together, again. =/ Valentine's Day this year will mark three years of surviving each other.
Hahaha! I'm just joking! Let me rephrase that:
Valentine's this year will mark three years of our relationship which has been full of tears and surprises, misunderstandings and laughter, disappointment and hope and love which I believe until today, is undying. =)
So even though I might not get to spend the next few Valentine's Days with Rendall, it won't bother me that much (and it should not bother you too darling, if you're reading this!!), because every other day with him has been like Valentine's and at most times, even better! =) Hehe..
By the way, did you notice something? This Valentine's Day is our third year anniversary but I'll be flying off to Melbourne on that day and it will mark the start of my three years there?
.

.
Well, I WILL be spending three years there but I'm pretty sure that I'll fly back sometime in between, though not as often as before when I was in college. =/ You didn't think I'll be there for the whole three years right?? XD
Anyway, I want to wish you all an early Happy Valentine's Day and don't sweat if you don't have someone special to spend that time with you. Don't you think it's TOO MUCH that a large number of people go dating on Valentine's? It's like group-dating the size of a town fer crying out loud!

I seriously agree. And yeah, everyday is like Valentine. It's of no use if it's special just on Valentine's Day but not everyday. Meaningless right? Haha.
My personal opinion: Sometimes I think it's a little too materialistic during Valentine.
Knowing your boyfriend loves and cares is more than enough =D Good post by the way. I like it.
Oh. Happy Valentine's Day in advance ;D

@JustinKC:
Don't crack your brains too hard! (^.^) I do hope you get to find the right gift for her. =)
@Barbara:
Actually if your boyfriend loves and cares for you, a lot of things will come along with that. If only most people realise that and stop focusing on the materialistic things. =D
As for me, I'll be fine knowing that my guy loves me and his family and most importantly, is a God-fearing man. =)
Happy Valentine's Day to you too!
