V-Day 2007

Throughout the day, I've seen flowers being bought by the dozen, chocolates being delievered, and couples holding hands, oblivious to the world around them. Oh, Valentine's Day!

Mostly, I think that Feb 14 is just a commercialized ploy to get people to buy over prized roses and stuffed bears with shirts which read "be mine". But, then again, I still caught myself going googoo and wishing that I were a part of "in love" land.

Days like these, I can't help but think about my past romances. Hahaha. I guess one mistake I've made before (ok, maybe more than once) is that when things didn't work out, I dwell on the thought that I am not what they wanted. Well, that didn't do much good with regards to healing and moving on.

Shifting perspectives, though, I now focus on what I want. And, simply put, what I want is a guy who is crazy about me as much as I am crazy about him. Given that, I have made peace with the fact that the person I want is not really Mr. ____ or Mr. ____ .

If anything, I am left with excitement as the right guy is somewhere out there, just as excited to meet me as I am to meet him. I know that when that day comes, it will be unbelivably perfect.

So...come Valentine's Day, year i-dunno-when (hehe), I, too, will be receiving roses, chocolates, stuffed bears, and long love letters. Maybe, Mr. Right , being the modern day Romeo that he is, will even have a string quartet serenade me to the tune of some old classic love song with words which are dripping with cheesiness. Haha.

Again... I wait.
