Hmm...You know this Valentines Day thing is a really odd phenomena. MOST people I know kinda use that old cliche that they really don't care about it but when the time comes, they get alll mushy and fuzzy and end up doing really "icky" (as a 5 year old will put it) stuff.

Aagh, that's just an observation.


Me - I, personally, am trying hard NOT to do anything on V-Day coz the girl I like and me aren't really close yet (and I'm broke and can't buy a prez...) As fate will have it, I will be forced to see her on Saturday so there's my plan blown (and the little money I had left!)

I was talking to my neighbour last nite and he gave me a very good suggestion - make a move AFTER V-day, IT'S CHEAPER!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S TO YOU ALL! :wink:
