Of all the celebration that we have, what i don't wish to come is the Valentine's day !
I don't know i really hate this occasion and this day . So irony when all people longed for this day to come and celebrate , me i am the opposite. I hate this day ! I don't know why people gives so much importance to this day. I can't understand why making this day extra special when we can make everyday a love day. I am a loving person , sweet and romantic but some memories behind that made me stop to love this day. How about you there , what is your feelings about Valentines day ? Share it please.

it's just an ordinary day,haha because i never had a date with a guy on V-day but I used to hangout with my college friends who were also single in those days. I enjoyed it. But I think I will enjoy it more if I would have a date this coming V-day. Well, I think that's impossible because my bf isn't here so I decided to go out with my girl friend just to forget that I am alone.

You can't be alone so many good people in this world , go out hang out with them but before going out be sure you know these people and don't ever give your full trust , use your mind always . Go out with a good influenced people not the BI ones.

Lets face the truth here. All these holidays have been created to make money, lots and lots of money. It has nothing to do with the meaning of the day anymore. It all comes down to profit. I am no fan of most holidays anymore. But only a handful of holidays give a special feeling and Valentine's day is not one of them. I agree.

This is sad but it is the truth right ? The essence is set aside and material aspect is promoted and observed .

Values deteriorating to some people , they are more of personal interest that is to get richer and richer.

Well, since my anniversary is also February 13th, these days are special and important to me. We always take time to usually celebrate on the 13th as it is best and not as busy. For me since I have always been a romantic, this has always been an important day for me. But like you said, we should not just be romantic this day as every day is important for this.

This is an interesting way to look at things. I am sure it is pretty much the truth for sure. That maybe problem anymore the real meanings of holidays loosing their luster to where it often becomes, just another day.

There are really people who are born romantic , i am also but not in February 14. I am considering it more a fashion . I have to celebrate because others are doing and i would be left out . The essence would no longer be there but more on what others will be saying to me.

For me Valentine's Day is just any other day, I don't see it as special, I do get fed up with all the commercials based on Valentine's Day, it's just cashing in, commercialism takes over! If you love someone you shouldn't have to wait till Valentine's Day to be romantic or buy flowers and chocolates!

Absolutely friend ! If you love someone , tell her everyday . Let her feel your love all days of the year and not just this one day big event ! Showing and expressing your love in Feb 14 alone is not an effective way , as if there is no seriousness and was just carried by the majority having the fever of it. Happy Valentine ..

I do not like valentine's day as much as well. my thought is that we should make our family and loved ones feel that they are loved not only once a year. valentine's is too commercialized these days and the big companies are just making a fuzz out of this so you will spend more this day. =P I don't really hate it but im not one of those that are looking forward to this occasion.

Exactly! We should do it all the time. It's a rip off. It also puts pressure on people and sets out a bad message. Why should we make a fuss over one day? It's not xmas. It's not someones birthday. It's just a day where that's completely commercialized and designed to cost people fortunes. Personally I do hate it because it tries to dictate purey for financial gain and there's no spontinuity to it. It's like being told to go to bed at 10 etc.

Chiyosan , you said it very rightly ! Too commercialized that favors only the rich capitalist ! Yes , why not show the spirit of Valentine's day every single day of our life ? Had we been doing it , i guess there is a world peace today , family and community lives harmoniously and peacefully ! Why wait for Feb 14 then spread in the air the spirit of love ?

Nickers , so very true , it just bring pressure and stress to people ! Some even would pretend to be very loving and lovable this day just to be "in " with the occasion then following day back to its true color !

I never thought I would have a lover so I never gave Heart's day any thought. I would see the St Valentine's Day Massacre movie and let it go at that. But now I do have my guy and I still don't celebrate Feb 14th. I show how much I love him all through the year! I think Feb 14th was created for the busy husbands . That get a day to show all the love he Should show all year round!

Yes seems you are right , this day for busy husband , lover that can't fulfill there obligation and can't be there for partner everyday or week. So this is a make up day ! But for those who are religious in expressing their love and affection then noneed to go with the fashion of celebrating it in 14th.

Most people young or old alike celebrate Valentine Day. It is meant for the romantics enjoying love. Valentine Day of yesterdays was more of lovers' getting together and celebrate and renew their love. But nowadays, businessmen have misused Valentine Day. These businessmen capitalize on it to make money by promoting the celebrating of love in the name of Saint Valentine. It is so commercialized everywhere.

True , Valentines should be a celebration of the love of two people loving each other and renewing vows and promises in the name of love through a simple celebration but with hard life at present couples just renewed it in practical way such as going to church together and pray , buy some food and eat inside the house so can share it to other member of the family. Businessman spoils the spirit of Valentines day.

I don't hate Valentine's Day but I don't look forward to it either. I am single now, so it doesn't really mean anything to me. Love and romance should be a daily thing and not one day a year because of a holiday.

Exactly friend ! It must me shown and expressed whole year round and not just in a one expensive day . Still early to say your single , maybe by Feb 14 , you can find someone ..LOl !

It's a regular day for me..lol! The only thing that I hate about the love month is that all the malls and the food shops you go have hearts and love thingy. I hate looking at it and it sometimes irritates me. I am in love and in a relationship now but I just hate looking at all those love things they sell or decorate. Maybe because I am in a long distance relationship that is why I am a bit crazy about hearts day coming.

Hahaha Gaiza my unsung words seems you have spoken it ! that's it ..that's really it ! Me also don't like seeing those hearts floating in the malls , some in doors and windows , it just irritated me ! I don't find it romantic but its exaggerating . Feelings or emotions need not to be shown but must be felt deep down in the heart !

I have to ask if you are married or in a relationship. Because I find that people who do not like this Holiday are single.

I'm a romantic and so I make it a point to take my wife to a special day. Check in a hotel, watch a movie, and a nice romantic dinner. But we don't celebrate this on February 14. We create our own Valentine's Day where we don't get to celebrate with the rest of the world.

Indeed you are so romantic and unique ! Lucky is your wife who is able to meet a very thoughtful man ! Seldom we find such your attribute ! Your idea of setting it to another day is but so good , You don't go in what the is the common practice but you set your own day .

It is a sucky day but worse then that is the fact that the day beforehand is now known as desperation day. I'm fairly damn sure i'll be single for it this year but it doesn't bother me that much.

Why worried , there is so much more than that in life ! Let us focus more in other things , like writing ! In here we even lack time to earn that much and join our friends discussion so why go be bothered in 1 day celebration. We can show love every single day of our life.

I don't know if this information will help you, but Valentine's Day is actually named for a Catholic priest: Saint Valentine. He was beheaded for the Catholic Faith in the year 269 A.D. And because of the date of his martyrdom (February), it is associated with the coming of Spring and, hence, romance. If one looks at things other than from a secular point of view, it might shed some light on our outlook of current and world events and possibly put them in a new perspective.

Yes i knew that , am a Catholic. What am hating it is the romantic side and commercial side. As if to me essence is no longer there , where before it can be celebrated with simplicity and solemnity but now it is so different . It is more expensive and like more of showing off to other people that here you the beautiful and famous because you have a date and you're no longer out of fashion.

valentines day is hard on many people for the same reason as you. to me, it's just another way to spend money. i agree with you. if you love someone, you should show it everyday of the week and it doesn't take any money to do so. it also makes others feel lonely and depressed when they are alone and have no body to celebrate with.

Valentines day is an extravagance day ! Expensive roses , candles , fine dining ,teddy bears and bars . True , we don't need money just to show how we loved other people . Simple little things says the real essence of love. We don't need to go out just to show its express that love to each other . Instead be in house , eat , sing and dance together , that is one way to show our love to others.

Thanks for this rant. I don't like Valentine's Day as well. 
But it seems to be very good business for the malls and shopping centers. Oh and the florists as well. Nothing ever good went well during Valentine's Day for me in the past romantically speaking.

True and it would only put women in danger . You see many bad people around , masking with a good face but deep inside the animal nature in him boils . World is dangerous we really don't know whom to trust and not , so better stay at home and risk would be very low .

Actually I have the same feeling with you,because at that day,boys have to use more money to buy those flowers and chocolates and other gifts to their girlfriends,and usually those stuffs at this day will because very expensive.
I think who love this day the most are those seller whose products are relate to Valentine's day.

Yes it is the man who will suffer most because of the very costly flowers , food and other romantic material things. That is why men maybe hates this day also but they just don't tell openly and often because of their ego but deep inside it is already complaining . If men are just resourceful , some ways to celebrate without spending much.

Well, maybe, you have gone through a lot of pain in love that's why that is your perspective when it comes to love. Well, I'll just treat Valentines day as an ordinary day but I don't hate it. Though I am in a long distance relationship, I am not bitter if the valentines day comes even if my boyfriend is far from me. We will just celebrate it over the phone. lol.

We can show our love everyday and make it special..

True because love is timeless , it got no time boundaries . It should be celebrated every single day . People are so practical now that business strategies don't work out anymore. People know what is needed and what is not practical such as the celebration of this occasion.

Maybe some would look at that way especially those non fearing people and those having ugly dirty heart . You said it perfectly , pursuing their interest thinking this is such a good timing might be the girl would say agree in the name of the occassion. GRRRR i pity such kind of girl.
