Today, I’m so blank about what to blog on. I guess it
happens to every blogger every once in a while. That reminds me tomorrow’s Valentine’s
Day! A believer or not I’m not excited about it and don’t think my reasons are
because I’m not in a romantic relationship. It’s just simply annoying when on a
festival day of love; everything apart from LOVE is practised by about 95% of
those celebrating it. Am I exaggerating? Don’t think so, just think about what
goes on Valentine’s Day and let’s be real.
- Do you believe in Valentine’s Day?
- Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
- Why do you celebrate Valentine’s Day if yes?
- Is it a true expression of love or a day to exchange material possession and expensive pampering for sex?
- Do you really know what valentine is?
- How should valentine be celebrated?
- Is Valentine’s Day necessary for lovers to celebrate?
- Do you think it’s thoughtful for marriage proposals to be made on Valentine’s Day?
Am I asking to many
questions? Don’t get scared yet, they are not for research purposes. I’m just
curious and have these questions bugging my mind because of the crazy pressure
that comes from a twisted tradition of celebrating ‘The festival of love’ on February
14th every year. Girls are the most hyper during this season and you
may really find out what stuff your partner is made of tomorrow. Relationships may
be weighed by the things that happen tomorrow, as all the girls would be in a
contest of who had the best valentine gifts and treats among the rest,
especially if they reside together, in hostels or belong to cliques. Delivery and
presentation are things to consider for tomorrow too. Chai! Guys are in trouble
tomorrow ooo lol! Oh! I’m so sorry; I may be speaking at those who believe in
all of Valentine’s Day. For you, an advocate for tomorrow’s celebration, you
know I won’t stop you from fantasizing or faithing what the outcome of tomorrow
would be.- What would make a perfect valentine for you?
- How are you going to be celebrating Valentine’s Day?
- What's an appropriate Valentine's Day gift for men and women respectively?
- What are the Do’s and Don’ts of an appropriate Valentine’s Day?
If you think these questions are too much, you don’t have to
answer all. I don’t think anyone should do so here, but you could just think
about it and give me your view about Valentine’s Day, make your choice of three
(3) questions to answer. Share your view just the way it is without changing anything.
You would be opening up things you probably didn’t realize about it, you could
be helping me see from a ‘not so myopic’ view and you could be helping someone
else who would read your view in the comments and be glad you shared because
he/she could learn from you. Thanks in advance, for sharing your view. So,
whatcha say bout Valentine’s Day?

I don't believe in valentine. I feel its another way women exploit guys. Lol.
Proposing a lady on valentines is unfair, the gifts and the general feeling would cloud her judgment.
Thanks anonymous at least I'm not alone on that.
I think it's unnecessary to select only one day in the entire year as a day of love, but if the world chooses to set a day for it...I WILL CELEBRATE IT (in addition to the other 364 days in the year I already celebrate it) :) It's just like Christmas, I once heard a pastor say, "December 25th is actually not the day Jesus was born, but if the world chooses to celebrate the day He was born (on any day of the year), I will celebrate it with them...because it's a great thing." It's something to be celebrated at any opportunity we get.
My belief is that the 365 days of the year should each be a day of love. If a man does not show his woman love 365 days a year, then giving her gifts on Valentine's day won't mean anything to her.
The other side of the coin is even if a man shows you he loves you 365 days a year, most women (myself included) would still love to be pampered on Valentine's day. It's not necessary, but it's a nice thing to do for someone you love.
The history of Valentine's day is nothing to write home about. It's shrouded in mystery and most believe it began by a pagan celebration. Notwithstanding, today it is celebrated as a day of love which negates any historical connotations.
As for proposals on Valentine's Day, I think it depends on the kind of woman who's being proposed to. Some women like all the attention, some don't. Some women are over the top, some aren't. And I also agree that all the festivities might cloud a person's judgment on Valentine's day.
