Unhappy Valentine's Day...

[Here's another old entry I had sitting around in my archives that I thought I'll dig up because it's an interesting 'related reading' to the "Time foR putting the past bEhind" entry (follows after this entry if you scroll down). Originally dated February 14, 2005]

It's that time of the year again... Not Christmas though... now sadly there are people out there that celebrate today, but not Christmas, very sad. But today's definitely not a day for me to receive or give any gifts. I should concentrate on all these februariEE B-days, like my own! ;)

Also, I've been wondering, does anybody out there actually read my blog? :P Perhaps this is simply a fulfilment of what I've been thinking about for a long time now. I've been planning on keeping some sorta diary and since I type faster than I can handwrite, I was thinking of doing it in computer format too. Like perhaps in a text file sitting on my desktop or something. But I suppose this is actually it, but it's like sitting on the web where everyone can, yet perhaps nobody reads it. Oh well, the plus side is that if my computer crashes I can always access my Blog from any computer at any time.

Ya... Valentine's day really sucks! And apparently I'm not the only one to think or blog so... It's like so discrimatory... what should we call it? Datist (like Racist)? Statusism? But ya, why do they make such a day for only certain people? It's like having a holiday for only a certain racial group or something. Valentine's day is really not "single-friendly" or kind to the "romatically-challenged"! It really sucked hanging out at lunch at Atrium and stuff and watching these couples do their "thang" and being reminded of how single and how lonely I am. Interesting enough this week in Cantonese Small Group, O decided to stick to the topic we were trying to talk about the week before, "Love" (like "What is love?", "What is love....? Baby don't hurt me... don't hurt me no more..." :P) What was that word Vince used for love between couples again? I looked it up... "eros"... LOL... that's where "Erotic" comes from :P

Well, one thing I did do for Valentine's day... I sent e-cards to my friends (I don't have a girlfriend, just a lot of female friends, some closer than others, but one sister in particular I'm closer to. =) Interesting enough they have cards that are like "Anti-Valentine's Day" ones and some others that are non-romantic. So at least Yahoo! Greetings has cards that are considerate towards the single people :) I dunno how much longer I'll be single, but I feel it'll be for a while :( Afterall, I am under the Jeff Chan curse :P LOL... just kidding. But I highly doubt that the fact that over 90% of RCCF being single is due to Jeff Chan, it's our fault :P LOL, no... just kidding about that too. In fact I think it's cool that CCF is 90+% single and that we all "kiss dating goodbye" and focus on God and all. [NEW ADDITION: LOL, actually it's not a curse, it's him, he keeps hogging all the girls to himself :P Just kidding...But even though he's doing a good things giving sisters rides home for their safety, it does kinda eliminate chances for romance to start.]However, perhaps since we are like getting older, we should actually have a program about dating/relationships at CCF like the "Love, Sex and Relationship" ones I skip CCF to attend at Winners fellowship so that we can learn more about the "godly" way to indulge in these kinda things IF God wants us to.

Ok, I actually started this entry on Monday and am finishing it now (Thursday), but I have a Philosophy of Religion mid-term to go study for now, please pray for me. So until next time, have a unhappy Valentine's Day.
