The Red Day: I Hate the Valentine Day

Recommended Posts

I'm almost tempted to make something of this Valentine... last V-day left me a little scarred. I went to grab a bite at the only restaurant I assumed would not be pandering to this commercial joke... the Somali Restaurant at S'bush. And what do you know? They had a live singer jarring to the tunes of Lionel Richie (‘hello, is it me you’re looking for’…like no) and a red and white theme + flowers on each table. That + little xalimos and Farah's looking all pretty and smelling fine. If it wasn’t odd enough being the only 2 girls sitting there, we ran into this nomad who asked us 'haye, ma sidanaad ku dambeyseen'... the cheek!.

 

Well.. not this year… I’m not going to that restaurant. redface.gif

LOL. That's awful. Awfully funny, I mean. "ma sidaanad ku dambeyseen"... ouch. Makes you out to be a couple of bitter 50-year old spinsters, huh?

Valentines Day.um.Brings back memories of highschool, where one could send a rose and a bag of red M&M's to thier secret crushes in class. The anticipation,

*Will I get a rose this year?* And the greeneyed monster comes alive when the girl next you gets 4!, heck, i am much cuter then her you think...

Later I found out that 95% of those pakistani girls who got roses, sent it to themselves...

 

Who said? Valentines Haters are those who aren't in love, that is so true. I cant stand the day for now lol

Valentine’s day makes people sweat. What if you are in a new relationship? What if you are in an old one? What’s expected of us, should we bother, will we disappoint? Come 14th Feb you wake up feeling perfectly normal- no expectations and no worries, till you arrive at work when some chick from another department or across a desk away from you is going on about some inflated bunch of roses and another about heart-shaped chocolates she got, some might say oh how so romantic…..and there are the ones who refuse to take part and want everyone to know their feelings on it. Some might say Why on earth do you need an assigned day to show your loved ones you care...Geez “Valentine’s day is nothing but a ploy of the advertising world to make a bit more cash†Sure, maybe, but I can think of worse ways to make money apart from Valentine’s day …well there is the Mother’s day, Father’s day, Anniversary day, Earth Day heck there is even Give a tree a Hug Day and the rest of a long list… But sure is nice to spend a little time focused on your mom or your dad or your boyfriend or whoever. And that is the reason it’s OK to participate in V’day. Fair enough if you don’t want to cough up an inflated bunch of roses and heart-shaped chocolates or a night out in town with your loved one, then by all means keep on believing that Feb 14th is frankly the crummiest day of the year.

So come Tuesday, may, I suggest that all you non-believers just suck it up and try not being overly sentimental ;)

 

PS: for those who cant stand the day and might like to piss others off, how about you choose a romantic spot, anywhere starry-eyed couples are likely to be, Take a ghetto blaster and feel free to park yourself in the midst of all strawberry nipplers. set up a breakdancing mat, put some gansta rap on and get obnoxiously jiggy :D:D:D

 

cheers

^ Me too. Except, this is the first valentine's that I'm not single, so I was feeling a bit ambivalent towards it. That is, until faarax told me that he's going to dump me if I even mention the V-word. The damn cheek! :mad:

Dear Ms Ahura,

 

It has just been bought to our attention that you have been pleading for Mr. NGonge's lame heart. Due to our strict policy on second hand baggage, i am obliged to formally imform you that your reckless actions disqualify you from our suga-boat of delight and that your application has been rejected.

 

 

Best regards
