The romance of Valentine...
Valentine is a multibillion dollar industry. The Indians have been working overtime to meet with roses demand to ship it worldwide while the Chinese too working hard to produce the cards and little hearts teddies, all in the name of love. Even the environmentalist are making an exception to this event despite the carbon impact, trees chopped down and more dumping of j...unk in landfill.
The crooks are looking to profit from the lonely heart via online dating, they too have been working really hard for months to build the romance and today will be the day they'll get to cash in in, their free holiday and gifts and what not.
Well, some people I hope will DIY their gifts, and do different things not necessarily part take in this money making industry but yet to celebrate the day with people they love.
I can't help to wonder why not love and celebrate each other daily. Is Valentines day a love competition?
A day for woman to feel upset because Mrs. Jones got flowers and chocolate from Mr. Jones, but old John only brought flowers from the garden.
And poor man sweating over credit card bills for Christmas and new year, and now this? Silently thinking easy for her, she's buying gift using my money!
Okay, okay I'll give it rest, don't take it too seriously, I too used to celebrate it in my younger days until the day I realised I could seriously profit from this and so it lost its romance. Two of my good friends and I starts selling cookies. We had an advantage, we were in an all girls school but we share school bus with an all boys school. Before we know it we sold over 30,000 cookies alone. We then donated all the money to world life.
Anyway, I can't wait for tomorrow because I'm curios to see the impact recession have on this industry.
Will "love" triumph over money? Hmm I wonder...
