Happy Valentines Day card

In case you're wondering, I didn't come up with that.

But oh look there are more: If Valentines Day Cards Were Honest. So if you receive or have already received a Valentines Day card that seems too sweet to be true, it is. :P

Happy Valentines Day!

Significance of Valentines Day

There's always been two different types of female mindsets in relation to couple relationships and Valentines.

The Pragmatist

My sister thinks Valentines is really nothing so special. Why go out when it's so crowded in restaurants and you're going to get crap food and service? (She's not just bullshitting either. She's been going out with her boyfriend for seven or eight years.) Plus it might get pretty awkward when the guy next to your table start proposing to the girl.

The Idealist

Here's the type that expects men to do all the work. And it's also commonly the type to think that Valentines is a must-date day. Because if you don't date on Valentines Day then you're not a couple and you don't like each other. (I'm not making this up either. My friend actually said this to me and it made me feel like crying. :cry: )

I'm surrounded by the second type of girls who make me feel emo by talking about how a guy is supposed to do this and that for a girl. Basically, a nice "surprise" Valentines dinner date with red roses and a box of chocolates. Thursday was meant to be the first un-lonely Valentines in my life but I'm going to start my salsa classes on Thursday. Yay?

So how important do you think spending Valentines together is for a (new) couple? And how do you think it should be compensated if they don't spend Valentines together?

Disturbia and The Invasion

Oh gawd. Two great movies. But if you have balls as small as mine, do not watch these scary movies alone.

The Invasion

It was an interesting story and I love Nicole Kidman movies. However, it all seemed a little meaningless or let's say there was a lack of explanation. The zombies kept saying it would be a better world for humans to live as zombies but never really explained why it'd be a better world. Along with that, it didn't explain why the spacecraft exploded in the beginning. If you haven't watched the movie, you probably didn't get all that. Perhaps I'll get the novel and read it sometime.

So I watched this movie until 11.30 pm last night. My two friends who were texting me went to bed and I didn't have the guts to remain awake to watch this movie by myself. I stopped it at 00:43:43 and woke up this morning to continue it. It's an exciting movie, but don't watch it alone near midnight.

Disturbia

My heart rate has only just returned to normal now from watching this movie. Before I started watching, my friend Daniel said he'd be surprised if I get scared by this movie. Well FFS that got me very relaxed that the freaking out was double the effect.

It was exciting too. The plot was good and the funny parts were really funny. And I was cleverer this time to watch the movie earlier in the evening so it finished an hour before midnight, nevertheless still scared the shit out of me. It would've been much sweeter watching this with a sexy guy but I'm just a poor, unlucky girl.

Well that was my cardiovascular exercise for two consecutive nights. You know, a lazy alternative to working out.
