Valentine's Rant...not day. >.>

I know most people are excited for the said holiday, and you're all waiting for something inspirational to be posted...but guess what: you are reading the wrong blog. Nevertheless, please continue on. Oh, and drop a review or two; this might pique your interest.

Valentine ’s Day: the most celebrated hallmark event in the month of February. More anticipated than Ash Wednesday AND birthday parties (yep, you heard right). Why, you ask? It is because this month is said to be dedicated to love- usually a relationship thing. Girls would squeal and wait for their partners to give them gifts that range from simple cards to expensive diamond rings. Boys, in the meantime, would empty their hard-earned savings to buy something extravagant- special, they say- for their significant other to prove their love and fulfill the meaning of that one day.

In truth, it is actually a government conspiracy to get humans to breed and pair up to increase population in a country, for some. Whereas here, in the Philippines, it is a day of hitting the gold- roses and necklaces are a famous buy, and so are those expensive but scrumptious chocolates they sell on stores. I mean, what good will increasing the population get us to? It’s not as if we’re crowded enough, really.

Sarcasm there.

Moving on. Another thing about Valentine’s is that it makes people think that if they weren’t in a relationship, they would be left out, so they look for a partner. The thing about this, exactly, is that those who aren’t in a relationship by the end of the day is considered to be losers, too ugly or unwanted to find the perfect person.

But really, my dear readers, why let yourselves be bothered by this failed attempt at seeking a mate? Valentine’s day, sadly, is celebrated every year, so you can have your shot maybe next time.

Maybe.

While people’s minds get clouded by emotions and their hormones whirl around like crazy, the attention is averted away from the government, making realization of their wretched plans impossible for those distracted. And face it; those who aren’t, like me, are sometimes branded as crazy morons who’re just lonely enough to make up stories about the government. Then those who really are lonely on this fateful day either fall into jealousy or depression and ends up killing themselves- another way of cutting out the useless.

All in all, Valentine’s is just a pointless day used by the government and the media to make more money.

But of course, if you still believe in it, enjoy your Valentine’s. Hopefully you’d get what you deserve, and congratulations for the loyalty and faithfulness you have towards your mate.
