Love, Love, Love

Valentine's - a special day for every individual who loves, is loved, wants to love and be loved!
when i was young and rebellious, i was so cynical about love and relationships. i think every person goes through different situations in which they experience things in life which they are supposed to learn. i have outgrown mine.

it's hearts' day and everybody seems to be excited about the day. single or not, everyone has the right to that feeling. it's a day for every persons vital part - the heart which we refer to as Love. it's one time in a year when men becomes extra sweet preparing the best date for their partners. women as well put on their best effort to make their men feel how much affection they have for them.

every couple does their own special way of celebrating the mutual feeling they share. my bf and i had a very special day. i'd say that this valentine is the best so far. i think i have passed the stage when a girl dreams of a fancy dinner date, surprise public display of affection, precious presents and stuff. i didn't feel much to care about the stuffs we give each other. to be honest we didn't spend much this time. i didn't want to. and i think that we were right for doing so. the less we spent money, the more affection we gave to each other tyring to compensate the lack of expensive gifts.

i had this dream of watching from google earth every couple celebrating the day. but it's just a dream, i know i wont be able to see them that way. i told my bf that i want to go out, have an ordinary dinner as everyday but i wanna spend time watching people. i wanted to see them celebrate. i want to feel the happiness in their hearts.



and so we did. we brought the camera not for our usual photo sessions but i wanted to document this day. i want to keep a visible sign that Love is on the earth. how i love such a day. flowers were overflowing. they are sold at every corner of different streets. old and young ones were all out. everybody wants to participate.


i was quite overwhelmed seeing boys buying flowers. some of them are simple ones but you could see that they were trying. i've seen some who were not young anymore but they took their women out and bought them flowers. touching eh? not every adult couple seek to celebrate such a day. there were few elderlies holding hands too. really heartwarming.


some boys were walking with bouquets, stuffed toys, and presents on their hands. they probably felt stupid bringing all those things on a busy street. but they still did...for their loved ones. hehehe oh yes, how i love Valentines. others were obviously anxious, tensed and nervous but with all smiles on their faces with a flower on one hand and the phone on the other. they were probably waiting for their ladies to come. some girls were too shy to be proud of what they got.


i cannot stop smiling looking at everyone. i even asked my bf "what is happening? everbody's smiles are up to their ears." could it be real? can this be forever? i wish it could be. everyone seems to have a good humour. even police patrol were saying hello to us. strangers came and asked to have pictures together.

that's how Love works! it gives warmth at every humans heart which allows us to act better than how we do in most common situations. when we are loved, we become unselfish. when we share love, we become an agent to make that other person unselfish. then it becomes a cycle where everybody gets involve.


i must say that today is one of my most wonderful days on earth. i made my dream come true of seeing Love on earth. i didn't have to see the whole of earth. i found it on a small part where i am located. i was happy to feel it not only in my heart but on the air. i think this is what happens when someone has enough Love for oneself, he/she begins to see it from others. i am happy to see people from different walks of life feeling the power of LOVE.
