arbitrary day.

first of all, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY lovelies!!
this is my second favorite day in the year after Christmas.
february has always been an eventful month for me.. full of events!
my bf birthday was on the 11th, and the 14th we've got Valentine's Day (and yep, call me a hopeless romantic but it's a must for me to celebrate it even with just a simple celebration), and my little sister birthday is on the 17th.

for some people, Valentine's Day is arbitrary. some say it's not necessary to celebrate it, as we can celebrate love everyday.
but be honest, is there anyone among us who gives flowers or chocolates or gifts to their loved ones every single day? i doubt it.
yes of course we should show our love everyday...but in a cheesy way?? it's gotta be only today! on Valentine's Day :D


although i'm quite a romantic at heart, but i don't like men who are over-romantic..they're big turn-offs for me. you know with the poetic gestures. bleh.
luckily my man is far away from over-romantic...a bit too far i guess, lol.
that's why every Valentine's Day i demand him to be something he is usually not. it's a safe day for him or other not-very-romantic guys out there to be romantic and cheesy as much as they can without getting embarrassed! how fun is that! :D i get to see his other side ;)

we have a Valentine's Day tradition, started around 3 or 4 years ago where he usually gives me a single red rose (my favorite flower ever) and we go for dinner then watch a romantic movie in the indoor cinema or picnic at the open-air cinema (that's only when we were still in Melbourne though).

so what's your favorite Valentine traditions with your loved ones?

oh btw, this is not the outfit i'm wearing today. this is when we celebrated my bf birthday days ago :)

anyway, have fun on your Valentine's Day! <3 <3
