V-DAY PLOT

Yesterday was the day of agony for most of the guys. Yesh! You guess it correctly, VALENTINE DAY, was indeed the worst festive season of the year. No public holidays, same workload as any normal days, no festive payout but it comes with mental stress and financial stress. We GUYS are expected to come up with surprises, gifts, romantic venues for dinner or whatever of nonsense that you can think of. HEY, I thought girls want an equal status with man??? Why are we doing all the shit jobs while you are enjoying? So much for sexual equality. Again, don’t get me wrong, this is not a woman bashing post. In fact, I respect woman a lot. Most important people of my life – my mum is a woman (of course).

What I am trying to convey in this post is why we are subjected to the mercy of evil merchants on this fateful day. Obviously, this day was conjured out by merchants who were out to rip us out of our money. Roses costs 10 buck per stalk, gifts prices increases and of course, restaurant dinner prices increases exponentially too. All this for vanity? I always believe if two person are truly in love, we don’t need valentine day to remind us that we are in love. Gifts or surprised outing in normal days have much more surprise elements in them compared to the one organised on valentine day. V-DAY has become more or less a liability rather than a love thing between couples.

Well, for me, I didn’t get anything for my wife on VDAY. No gift rose or dinner… NOTHING! Before you guys want to comment me on being heartless or stooge, I like to say that I do sometimes buy stuff for her when I feel like it (on a random basis). I FOR ONE will not allow merchants to rip me off due to their evil schemes!!!

P.S. Thank you Sandy for understanding and your love~.
