It's Valentines. So what? I said, it's just a normal Saturday for me. Valentines is a day which every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

999 Roses, Expensive dinner, Cool rides, Fucking expensive chocolate for her, etc.

As people who is single or they are couple, it's not some fucking special day for valentines. As long as you love him/her so much, you wouldn't care how much he/she fucking spends on you but how much he/she fucking give her/his heart to you. I don't mean that him/her don't need to spends on you but it's just the heart which is meant for you. For me if i'm not single,

Everyday is Valentines :))
