valentines day

yesterday was valentines day. at this time of the year, roses double their prices, stuffed bears look cute and chocolates appear sweeter than they truly are. whenever my friends would scout the malls during this time, we see couples kissing, hugging and looking deeply into each others eyes while promising forever-after nonsense. cynic huh? that's because i don't have someone to get cuddly with on valentines day! there, i admitted it! :)

seeing people who are obviously in-love, i find myself muttering under my breath, "hapi-fuckin-valentines-day". seeing gaily wrapped candies and lavishly arranged flowers, i grumble the same words again. :) my friends would just laugh at this pathetic statement i repeatedly utter 2 days before v-day.

when the big day finally came, i looked at my alarm clock, or rather my roommate's alarm clock and it screamed at me, 8:30am!!! (my shift's at 9am-6pm) what a way to start the v-day.

in fairness, despite the lack of romance in my life, i enjoyed my valentines day. i spent it with my offismates, starting with dinner where we waited for an hour and a half for our orders to be served. when it finally did, our iced tea tasted like flavoured water and my white marlin was half-cooked. ewwww, but i finished it off in 2 minutes :) we had desserts then and of course, COFFEE! we talked for hours about my fuckin' (excuse the expletive. i only use it in relation to my lovelife or lack thereof) lovelife. the brownie was chocolate-ey and the cheesy bacon french fries was so loaded with calories that i felt guilty after devouring more than my share.

i guess what made my valentines day a-okay was the fact that i was able to have coffee after 2 days of abstinence. teehee..
