Pardon me for the lack of updates, I've been really caught up with schools and deadlines. But enough of me ranting about school, it isn't a fun topic anyway. So I'm gonna spare you guys the sad part.

As you all know, tomorrow is 14th February and obviously you guys know what day it is. It's the day all couples love and also the day where the single guys and girls, like me, wonder why we are still alone (jk kidding) It's just a day where people find the reason to bring the girl/guy they like out for dinner, or guys to bring flowers for their girlfriends or whatsoever.

I've never really celebrated Valentine's Day not because I can't celebrate it, it's just because I don't see the need to celebrate it. What I mean is that there's 364 other days to show your love to your partner or your other half and you shouldn't just let him/ her know that you love him on that day only. I'm not exactly the right person you should come to for anything related to relationships because I don't think I'm that experienced in that sector oops.

But there is something that I like about Valentine's Day. I really love to see shopping malls decorating their interiors with pink decorations all over the place. Not everyday you get to see mall interiors looking super cute and all lovey-dovey. Also, stores everywhere are selling items relating to valentine's day; roses, teddy bears, pink cards, you know what I mean right. There'll be so many guys and girls carrying balloons and flowers from their other half, with smiles that you can spot from a mile away. You don't get to see that everyday also.

Come to think of it, I have never had a valentine's date or a valentine's before. Pretty sad huh?
I think love is a wonderful thing. It's really good to love someone despite his or her differences, similarities, personality, qualities and it's so much better to be loved by someone who overlooks all the bad in you and someone who accepts you for who you are. Someone who likes it raw, someone who likes a challenge, all that. It'll be really cool if I get to experience it one day.

However, it is very sad to hear stories of couples breaking up, even worse when I hear couples that I secretly ship together breaking up. Breaking up because the girl was cheating on the guy's back, breaking up because the guy fell out of love, breaking up because both of them didn't see the need for them to be together. I have one word for all you couples: if you are going to leave your other half, never do it online or via text. I know breaking up is such a heavy thing to do, but for you to break up via text shows a lot about you. You're just plain selfish and irresponsible.

Well, if you can ask her personally to be your girlfriend, you can definitely break up with her face to face. A while ago, a friend of mine was devastated when she found out that her ex was seeing someone when they were still together. The guy told her that he "needed time for himself" and "needed space away from her". Little did she know, he went out with another girl. Can you even imagine what the girlfriend felt when she found out?

This is the part in relationships that I really hate, after the honeymoon part. The part where all your demons decide to come out and haunt the both of you. The part where it decides the fate of your relationship, whether it's gonna last or not. Some passed and some failed miserably. Love is a double-edged sword. You feel the emotion wholeheartedly, but because of love, it changes you as a person, for better or for the worse.

For the couples who are still going strong, I applaud you. It's never easy to sustain a relationship for a long period of time and I salute your endurance. For those of you who are cheating on your partner's back, shame on you. Spare your partner the drama and let him/her go. No point saving the relationship  when it can't be saved anymore and also when you can't be honest to them. And for those single guys and ladies, I know you crave for the attention from someone who sees the great in you. I know you look away whenever you see couples approaching you, being all lovey-dovey and all that. I know you also want to feel how it feels like to be in love. Trust me, it takes time. You knight in shining armor will come soon, with his horse and a bouquet of roses for you. Your damsel in distress will be lying there, in her glass bed, waiting for you to free her. Someone is out there, you just got to be patient and save yourself from all the unnecessary drama and heartbreaks when you meet countless Mr Wrongs. Just be patient, and everything will work out well for you.

Happy Valentine's Day from me and I hope you'll have lots of fun, single or attached.
