its funny. so v-day is approaching once again, rather unexpectedly; i was still reeling back from the after-effects of chinese new year and suddenly, v-day comes right smack into your face. soon we'll all be bombarded with commercials with heart-shaped icons advertising roses, jewellery, places to have a romantic dinner, presents etc. oh wait, we already are being bombarded.

yet ironically, i'm hearing of more relationship woes from friends and acquaintances alike. it gets pretty saddening afterawhile, when you realise that they've been with their other half for more than or nearly a year. maybe couples do run into problems after they've been together for a long time, i dontknow; and its up to them to try to overcome the crisis and maintain the relationship.

so i've never had a boyfriend; hence the best i can do is to provide ma friends with a listening ear and maybe offer bits and pieces of advice nicked from magazines and other friends. and at the back of my mind, i'd be pondering whether singlehood is still, afterall, the best.

people say its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all; that its better to experience the emotional highs and lows of being in love than to remain emotionally-passive and neutral in life. and i dontknow, does experiencing all these emotions make a better person? or would it cause a scarred heart, and a reluctance to open up to others in future?

i can only say, i dontknow whats in store for me. but i'm not in a hurry to get attached; because right now my life as a single is working out great. perhaps i'm selfish, not willing to let anyone come and turn my life upside down; be it in a positive or negative way. or maybe i'm not mature enough to handle the problems that will come along with any relationship. or probably i'm just not ready.

well, whatever it is, each to her own, ey =) for now, just have a great v-day; be it with that special someone or with friends =)
