It slipped my mind that tomorrow is valentines day.. I met up with Elfy just so I could borrow her digicam (fyi mine is not dead it is just not usable,those who are aware will know what im talking about hehe). So before we shopped for birthday presents, I was in dire need for food, we chose Swensons at Marina Square and that was when i realised the V-day tomorrow..
Believe it or not, 99% of the customers were couples! It was a sore eyesight to Elfy, who is still nursing her wounded heart.. I decided to make her night and told her the dinner is on me, my valentine dinner for her much to her surprise..
We had a nice server boy who was so eager to get our orders, refilled our ice water without asking and he even offered one of the best seats in the restaurant, tucked away from the crowd, it was cosy with candles and mini heart shape balloon on the table..and what are we missing? 2 man who should had filled the 2 empty seats beside us, even one of the server came to serve 4 ice water thinking that we are expecting 2 more person..Before we left the young boy just had to ask
"Well you pretty ladies not celebrating valentines?"
Big bewildered eyes
Elfy and me gave 2 different answers
I said "Well we are, she is my valentine date" with a smile
While Elfy said "There are suppose to be 2 guys but well
tak sampai-sampai pulak"
Everywhere we go it was so apparent love is in the air,pretty blatant everywhere you turn you see heart shapes and scent of fresh flowers reaches your nostrils. Excuse me,if i may sound like a kid who did not get her candy but trust me, Im not so hard on about V-day because i dont even celebrate it when i was in relationships, so it makes no difference actually
Its hard for Elfy still, she is not fragile but i know when she laughs it doesnt reach her heart and her eyes dont light up.. I feel what she was going through, i know the kind of pain that consumes her being, everything is just not right.. When i was going through what i call
'the emotional turbulence' she had all the words a best friend would say to comfort her friend.. I will do the same for her too and I just cant wait for 2 more weeks, lets run free, shout our hearts out, laze around and yes i promise her she could cry cry cry and cry and i will follow suit and cry with her if it makes her feel better..
Hmmm..we all have our days, when we all will kiss so many toads hoping it will turn into a prince,hah! Fairy tales has ruin our logical sense of mind sometimes..
But You guys know what, its even harder when you wake up one day and trust your intuitive you are in love with him but knows that it will all be in vain.. Truth hurts when the other person do not feel the same way,you want to blame him but then it is not his fault isnt it..sighh
I am in fact trying to distinguish between falling in love and my infatuation for someone.. But I am so keen right now that this lingering feeling will just be another infatuation which will pass eventually..trying so darnest hard that its a mantra i keep myself positive each day and chant
"it is just an infatuation" especially when the mind starts to wander..
Anyways
Brandy says it all in her song,
Almost made you love meAlmost made you cryAlmost made you happy, babyDidnt I didnt iYou almost had me thinkinYou were turned aroundBut everyone knowsAlmost doesnt count
Almost heard you sayingYou were finally freeWhat was always missing for you, babyYoud found it in meBut you cant get to heavenHalf off the groundEverbody knowsAlmost doesnt countI cant keep on lovin youOne foot outside the doorI hear a funny hesitationOf a heart thats never really sureCant keep on tryinIf youre looking for moreThan all that I could give youThan what you came here forGonna find me somebodyNot afraid to let goWant a no doubt be there kind of manYou came real closeBut every time you built me upYou only let me downAnd everybody knowsAlmost doesnt countMaybe youll be sorryMaybe youll be coldMaybe youll come runnin back, babyfrom the cruel cruel worldAlmost convince meYoure gonna stick aroundBut everybody knowsAlmost doesnt countSo maybe Ill be hereMaybe Ill se ya roundThats the way it goesAlmost doesnt count

To all who are bless with someone special in your life, maybe Valentines Day is just a novelty, we should cherish someone everyday without waiting for 14 February and also if you are a muslim its not a practise that you should adopt
but then again, if this day makes you feel closer to them and reminds you of how important they are in your life.. I would say "Go ahead spoil them if you have too for the sake of v-day" ..Thus its also right I wish you guys Happy Valentines Day as well :)
To those who feel unloved, nursing your broken hearts i say! May cupids hit you loads if not tomorrow then soon :), All the same i wish you a lovely day ahead and dont let all the chocolates, hearts and bouquets of flowers get to you!
