Searching for someone who can lie down with me on a beach, underneath the blinking stars, and just talk for the whole night...

I am not gonna declare my love to whoever or share my romance here on this very day of Valentine's. I am here to discuss some of my thoughts and opinions on Valentine's.
It's Valentine's again and as usual, i tried not to involve myself much into this occasion. Honestly, there is a small tinch of envy in me when i saw couples being loaded with bags of presents, flowers and balloons. at that very juncture, i suddenly had an urge to get a stead immediately. but then this urge is quickly overcome by another thought of mine: well, must learn from past experiences, fruits can hardly bear at this early stage. If not, i will be drown myself into frustration and emo feelings again like last year. It is good that my vigilance and determination are being enforced through this occasion.
another thing that i want to discuss is that people are way spending too much money on gifts and presents already. For me, i feel that giving gifts on Vday is just a kind of ceremony which basically caused by peer pressure. there are 2 types of peer pressures, one is that you scared that someone will give present to you and you have no present for him/her, so in order to avoid this awkward situation and play safe, it is better to buy something for him/her. the second pressure comes from friends where the people around you are all giving presents, and it is our human nature that do not want ourselves to be lose out. So, in order to fulfill my "duties", i had also bought some presents for my Angel and 2 Mortals. But i don't think my presents mean anything because i thk appreciation and love are best expressed in the simplest and most normal ways in our daily lives. not just on this kind of special occasion, alone. In fact, if geniune love and gratitude are expressed on occasional or even regular basis, there is no need to give anything on Vday, because the the former far outweighs the latter.
and, i feel that now is not the best time for us (students) to buy presents to give our friends, especially those people who spend a lot of money on them. This is because no matter how much you spend, no matter how nice your gifts are, the money we spend on the gifts, comes from our parents, it is earnt by their hardship, not ours. i feel that if we are not using the money that we earn ourselves and use parents' money to impress someone or make someone happy, the gifts that we give can never represent 100% of our heart. Thk of it this way, do you think it is good to use someone else's work and say that it is done by you? Will you feel more proud of yourself and your work if you accomplish the work on your very own?
For me, i will only truly involve myself in the joy of giving presents (except for hand-made presents of course) when i am financially independent. I want to feel the 100% satisfation and pride when i give presents. So now, it is not the time yet... but will be soon...
and btw, pls don't say this post is emo............. most of my posts are not emo, k?
