Love is in the air....a tribute to BFF

Yup! Its that time of the year again....lovey-dovey songs being aired endlessly, everything is red, pink and white, cupid posters/figurines/cut-outs appearing here and there, roses everywhere, increased adverts on jewelries and lingeries, holiday destinations for couples, romantic dinners here and there............plus lots more capitalist gains and unnessary consumer spendings. I don't want to sound like a self-righteous bitch but it the truth!

Of course, if there is A significant other to celebrate it with, it would be soooo meaningful and the V Day will be waited with so much more anticipation and excitements. I'm glad I have had some of the best Valentine's gifts and celebrations. 'Been there, done that'....I know how it feels....it was good (while it lasted).
Thanks to my previous BFs for those good times (but am also not forgettng the bad times hahah!!).

Not to say that I don't care for such celebration now but I'm being ambivalent towards this. If you have somebody to celebrate it with, then by all means make the most of it but if you are a singleton in this cupid-pairing season...do not despair or get depress. Like I said...its just a phase...any day can be a Valentine's day if you and your partner want it to be so...
But not having a partner does not make you a wallpaper nor should it give you a reason to get depress!

You don't have to cower and hide at home, you can still go out and have fun. But of course use your common-sense. If you are alone, get together with other single friends, choose a jovial and boisterous group, stay away from those whinging and whining group (they'll only get you down) and if you still want to do it alone (trying to prove something maybe?), stay away from those candle-light diner places or romantic-themed movies. It's just one day anyway, you'll get over it :)

I'm not being cynical. I'm just trying to impart some wisdom...gained from having survived several 'relationships'. Not all ended badly...it was just of of those reasons....not the right person, not the right time, not the right family, not the right job, not the right money, not the right height, not the right length (yup, you  guessed right!!).... With Ms Wannabee, there was always something not right...she's a real fussy pot!!!

Being in love is wonderful...especially in the first few months of getting to know somebody, knowing that the attractions are mutual and what I like best are the anticipations and that butterfly flutter that you get in your stomach prior to each date. Everything is wonderfully rosy and sweet during this time....

But it never last long.... or in my case anyway. I'm sure if it lasts longer, I wouldn't be marking 'Single' in my marital status. Everything good comes to an end...the upward graph arrow either moves in a flat line or it goes down. In my case it always goes down. And we are back to square one, SINGLE AND AVAILABLE!

And so it goes on...when the time is right, the right person will appear in our lives...sooner or later.

Or, it doesn't even have to be that way. If you don't want to share your life with anybody, so be it.
Live your life the way you want it to be. We should enjoy our lives no matter what. Rejoice and be thankful in whatever we have...if there is not BF or GF in the near horizon...it's okay, we can still be happy with our lives.

We still have our own circle of friends and these group of people can be our BFF. Relationship with partner or spouse may not lasts forever but with BFF, they are indeed, our BEST FRIENDS FOREVER...

MS WANNABEE WISHES HAPPY VALENTINES TO ALL HER LOVING FRIENDS!

HUGS AND KISSES ALWAYS!!!!
