“Happy Single Awareness Day”. Weird, isn’t it ?
As girlish as it may seem, and since I’ve been doing nothing but : eating, sleeping, gaining weight, and surfing the web since my last exam at the university. So yesterday I decided to get out of bed and surprisingly I decided to go out to do something else rather than buying food!
I went to buy perfume and I really enjoyed the smell of the shop! Not only the smell, but the look of the shop. An extreme makeover, they changed the facade of the shop and decorated everything with the color “red” ! As I always act, a stranger from another planet, I asked the guys there (with all the assurance in the world in my voice) if it is the apples celebration or the national day of trees (I don’t know where I got these terms from anyway)! They giggled, and said it’s for “VALENTINE’s DAY” !
I laughed, picked up my perfume (Dunhill for the curious) and walked back home! Ahh, the shop is infront of the mansion where I live, I can see it from the window lol..
Anyway, It’s February/3rd and I decided to celebrate already…and this is how the celebration went: I sneaked to the blog archives of my friends and read what they wrote in the last couple of years in February, specifically in February/14th (I deleted my post of last february/14th *angel*) and look at what I found:
The most interesting blog was JNET, of course!
In February 2005, she wouldn’t stay alone or let her friends spend the night alone so she invited her friends to party at her house! Good idea JNET!!
I don’t invite anybody to my room..! 
In February 2006, she was greeted “Happy Single Awareness Day” !
Actually I didn’t wanna talk about Valentine’s day in specific, but about occasions like Eid, Christmans, Hanukka, ..etc.
Apart from the religious importance of some occasions (which we pay the least attention for), I think today these occasions are making people feel nothing but bad about themselves. Not everyone have enough money to buy new cloths for the Eid, not everyone have families to spend Christmas with, and orphans have no fathers to greet on father’s day!
