Some couples may view occasions like Valantine's Day and anniversary just like any other days, because like I've heard so many times, if you love one another, everyday would be Valentine's Day/anniversary. Personally, I hold alot of value in occassions like these. You can call me shallow or what not, afterall occasions like these were made up to capitalise on the occasion itself. Florists jerk their prices up high on Valentine's Day, who doesn't know that? But it is so difficult for a guy to give his girlfriend a bouquet of flowers on occasions like these, knowing that she loves flowers? Or if the guy is really strap for cash, a stalk of flower would certainly light up the girl's day; makes her feel appreciated. Especially when the girl surprises the guy with gift regularly, like his favorite chocolate cake and shirts( until she decided it seems to be a one sided)
Sometimes I feel like my relationship with my other half is quite unconventional. I never expected myself to fall in love with a guy like him. I never really feel like I was courted( unlike with my other pursuers). We never celebrated our very first valentine's day because he was in army and he promised to make it up but didn't. He's one young and a few months younger than me. I planned our first anniversary (mainly because the next day is his birthday). I think what I'm saying here is that I yearn some traditional aspects in our relationship, like my guy appearing with flowers on special occasions. Sure, it's not practical. But whoever said that love is practical? Love should be romantic, isnt it? I know looking back and grumble about what's not being done in a 'right' way is pointless and I should just move forward with my days and appreciate and treasure what's there, but sometimes I just can't help but ponder...
