Love, Love, Love

Tags: ,

The most famous (and commercial!) date in February has to be the 14th February – Valentine’s Day. It is a day that’s either highly anticipated by lovers, or dreaded by those who are single. Couples will try to show their love to each other by going to the most romantic place they can find for a meal and buying the “perfect” gift (if one can afford it). Seeing as how Valentine’s Day is falling on a Saturday this year, we can probably expect some romantic trips too. ;)

But you know, hey, being single on this day is not the end of the world. Love does not only exist between a couple as love is really “all around”. :) If you think about it, love is everywhere! There’s the most immediate kind of love – the love we have for our parents and the one they have for us. There’s love between your siblings, relatives and yourself. There’s love between the group of friends and buddies you hang out with. There’s love between yourself and that funny pet of yours (if you have one). And if you believe in God, there’s also love between you and Him!

Regardless of whether one is single or attached, what are the different things that can be done on this day (besides going out to a restaurant and flowers)? Well, one universal way of making loved ones happy (and this includes friends!) is to cook a yummy meal for them! I was just watching Channel News Asia the other day, and a chef was demonstrating how we can make a nice and affordable 3-course meal for two, under $40! Great deal, right? It’s basically a simple chicken + vegetable consomme with a prawn dumpling; seared ribeye steak with rocket-leaf salad; ending with a lime sorbet + sweet pineapple. Doesn’t that make you drool already? If you’re attached, you can cook a simple meal, maybe even pack it up and have a picnic somewhere. If you’re single, just call out your friends and have a potluck! What’s more enjoyable than a group of friends sharing good food, conversation and games? ;)

So who will be cooking this weekend? :D

  7. Love is if you are rich with money there is plenty. But if you are poor or middleclass, todays ladies will ditch you even if you are faithful and have spend 5 valentine together.

  18. Haha I can see why it also a commercial date. Indeed, Valentine’s Day is for everyone (single or attached) including loving oneself. The more we love ourselves, the more we will attract people whom can feel the great love that we possess.
