there’s all this talk on blogs about valentine’s day. it’s so weird – the most amusing thing about v-day is the fact that suddenly, all the couples get extra mushy and this sends shivers down my spine!!! some of the things that they do, especially what i term SUCKING FACE….!!!! i know it’s their business what they do and i am somewhat happy that they want to share their affection with the world, but arrghs…YEARRRGHS…:-P
then there is this proliferation of horrible candy and dorky looking toys – who buys these things??? i have to say that this ain’t sour grapes – i have been the recipient of some of these things. i appreciate the thought that went into them at the time, but seriously….:-D!
i totally agree with ZaraD’s log – don’t wait till v-day to tell someone that they are special. besides, you save a bomb on flowers and chocolates and can buy more of them
i ain’t bitter about v-day, but i do resent the fact that prices go skyrocketing and it has become so commercialised – oh all the lovely business opporunities there are to exploit romance. so sad when you think about it. v-day has lost its meaning for me in the deluge of plastic “sacchariness”.
i like things sweet and simple. i don’t need the candy or the wining and dining – they are nice – but i like the hugs and kisses more.

Yes, especially the end of the entry where you say you prefer the hugs and kisses more. I would rather have someone who hugs and kisses me and tells me they love me all year long, than someone who buys me a lot of expensive stuff once a year.
Good sentiments. I’d take it one step further and apply these things to marriage too.
