Today has its valentine
in the air with people showing some love everywhere. My day has been so busy
though but i did enjoyed it in a little way with my boyfriend. How? I went out
with him to the organization where i hope to use as my case study for my long
essay on the way i seized the opportunity to spend time with him chatting and
hopping from one place to another, one bus station to another and holding hands
together...*blushing*. Before the valentine my boyfriend did ask me “how are
you going to celebrate the Vals day? And i replied...”Everyday is my Val as
long as i get to spend some time with you and love you” uhmmmm not just him any
way but with the people i love. Like who I am, I love people around me..teasing
me and making me laugh in other words good sense of humour is what i look out
for in any friendship..lol.
HERE is my
surprise....WOW!!!
i
was short of words...this is a big surprise to me, cos he was with me
all through the day and didn't even act like he noticed today...okay!! i was
thinking he is not a fan of val's day. is not a bad thing though.
Every February 14, across the whole world, candy, flowers and gift
are exchanged between loved ones all in the name of St.valentine.
The history of Valentine's Day and the story of its patron
saint is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated
as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today,
contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was
Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?
The Catholic Church
recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all
of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who
served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that
single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed
marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree,
defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.
When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to
death.
