Love Actually

There's something in the air.. sniff it.. why..it is full of the sweet smell of roses and shhh.. listen, there's the sound of fluttering wings..oh my.. there goes a naked kid playing with love shaped arrows. Shouldn't someone take those arrows from him before he hurts the public?

Ah yes..love is in the air. As the florists are all flashing their too bright smiles, thinking of all those orders at triple the price for roses..let's talk about this day dedicated to love.

Valentine's day..a day of celebrating love. Be it with your partner, lover, parents, children, pets, cat..it's a day where you are allowed to openly or secretly tell a person of your feelings to them. How about singles? Well, you can tell yourself how much you love yourself. :) No self pity allowed..go and splurge on a little black dress and paint the town red. There's lots of other singles out there. Valentine's is only one day, after all. Be thankful that you are not involved in a relationship with a married person..it will surely make you cry, not to have your loved one with you on this pink colored day..

A few wonderful love movies to rent:
* Avatar : love is more than the surface..and it's certainly universal
* Any Disney's movies : A guaranteed happy ending
* Casablanca (1942):no matter how much you love someone, you have to let them go.
* Dr Zhivago : a man's life of agony: he must choose between fidelity for the woman he married or passion he feels for the woman who inspires him.
* Gone With the Wind : the difficult love between a manipulative Scarlet O'Hara and the man that she won't admit that she loves
* The Notebook : true love can have a bond that is stronger than any force on earth
* West Side Story : 2 lovers are torn apart by bitter rivalry (a heartbreaking end)
* Slumdog Millionaire: love is worth fighting for, and nothing worth having is easy to obtain

Is love really worth all the tears and sadness? Love actually..is worth it. Yes. At least, once in your lifetime, you'll get to feel the intoxicating fumes of being loved, cherished, adored and desired. To feel the heart beating at 80km per minute (laughing).It's certainly worth it even if it ends in tears.

Ouch.. watch out where you shoot those arrows, you little naked imp! Oo..that certainly hurts..and why is cat starting to see pink spots..oooo...purr..
