Everyday Love

www.dreamstime.comAm I one of those boring people who thinks Valentine is just one of capitalists' ways to bring money into their pocket even more? The answer is: Yes, Yes, Yes! Haha.
Dont get me wrong. I love being in a state of love, love celebrating love, love to express love, love to receive love, basically I love.. love. But to pick a day to celebrate this sacred idea of love and sell whole bunch of stuff in the malls, expensive dinners, cards and presents? Huehehe, I think somebody is clearly making profit here, and worse.. in the name of love.
But I sincerely praise the idea of "unity in diversity". I realize that different people believe in different ideas; and that Valentine can mean a lot to a lot of people. Therefore, I would like to say Happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate it. Sending love to you my dear friends, and hope we everyday make much love not war.

You know dear... Gue setuju bahwa VALENTINE's day itu cuma bikin2an kaum kapitalis untuk meraup untung sebanyak-banyaknya dari moment ini... Tapi gue juga sependapat dengan pandangan bahwa CINTA itu harus dirayakan (celebrating LOVE), bukan hanya dihari valentine, tapi kapan saja, dimana saja... supaya kita terus teringat akan kemurnian dan kesucian cinta itu sendiri.
Sayangnya kita seringkali terlalu tenggelam dalam kesibukan kita masing2, mengejar ambisi dan mimpi2 kita, sehingga kita tidak lagi merasa perlu untuk menunjukkan rasa sayang dan cinta kita pada pasangan. Jangankan hari valentine, kadang annyversary mereka juga suka lupa jeung, atas nama pekerjaan dan karir... "Ini semua khan aku lakukan untuk kamu, yank"... begitu pembenaran yang selalu dilakukan kaum pria pada pasangannya...
People need moments to show their love... Kalo tiap hari harus nunjukin/ngerayain... bangkrut juga yah neng, dan mungkin rasanya akan jadi hambar. Maka moment-moment seperti Anniversary atau Valentine days inilah yang mungkin bisa jadi kesempatan untuk meluangkan sedikit waktunya, untuk menunjukkan rasa sayangnya kepada pasangannya. Kalo gak ada moment, kayaknya orang jaman sekarang cenderung untuk lupa (atau pura2 lupa) mengungkapkan perasaan sayangnya pada pasangannya... on the other hand, kita sebagai perempuan suka tidak suka harus mengakui bahwa kita butuh merasa disayang, merasa dicintai dan merasa dihargai pasangan kita...
(Sinting, komentar gue kalo gak disetop bisa gak brenti2 nih nad, hahaha...)
Udah ahhh, kalo bicara soal cinta gak pernah selesai... Tapi gue setuju bahwa kasih sayang itu harus diberikan kepada siapa saja, dimana saja, dan kapan saja... gak harus pacar, orang tua, sahabat, keluarga juga layak untuk kita berikan kasih sayang kita... gak harus direstoran mahal, atau dicafe2.. dirumah bahkan ketika sedang dipasarpun kita bisa menunjukkan sayang kita pada tukang sapu dengan membuang sampah pada tempatnya dsb... dan tidak harus dihari valentine ajah, bisa pas hari ibu, hari bapak, hari anak, atau pas tanggal nembak si dia, hahaha... :)
I love your post... and walaupun loe gak ngerayain, gue mo bilang... gue sayang loe, makasih sudah jadi teman gue... (bangga punya teman cerdas seperti dirimu jeung :) )
eh, kok kege-eran yah gue... aku temen kamu khannnnn???? *harap-harap cemas, hihihihi :)
Really want to comment on this post. Coz' I was a love dreamer. Just like you. Problem I was a giver.
God was good. He gave someone who didn't take advantage of that. And we had like best love, sex and connection...
It was great.
For two months. We felt so in love.
3 years now. Both our lives are ruin. Well by our attitudes and also how all this dreamy stuff really came to an end. She got duped by a guy who dump her after great sex.
I got dumped by a girl who didn't want to ruin a dream. The pressure was too great for her.
I was like huh???
Well. Its a women's world now. I mean do you know what is the price of love. Well to state it bluntly ~ sex. Men spend so much to give the best. But all they want is that s** thing after that. =) Its not naughty. Its just how we are. Women don't understand that.
Put it this way. Its how women want to be loved. And keep receiving love. Men wanna have sex and KEEP having sex.
Haha...
Well I'm kinda in a fix. Recently in my country there's a rise in violence in relationships. (Not married couples) Well if you followed my thread. You would be understanding where I'm heading.
I mean you build up this dream of love. For the women. And this well s**pid women don't know that hey you gotta pay up after the meal.
And what happens. The guy gets really frustrated. And well... ya... you know what happens.
Well you get all this social groups like coming up. Facebook " Protect the women" ....
Well honestly... where was the problem?
Honestly isn't it a dream come true? =) You think its all good. Until you realize the reality.
Well, the main point is.... Women have become self centred. Well we have the opposite as well.
But the fact is this. We don't build this nation, world on the backs of women. It would be really sad if that happens. I really pity the women who "gain the world, but lose their soul".
Its just not gonna work. And while the whole world seems to gravitate towards upholding the needs of women. The men have underground. And all these cheating and lying are in place.
Because :
well....

What's ya views on that?
Honestly that said.... I find you really sweet and attractive.
Ya from your words.
Amazing huh...
=)
kayak jaman smp/sma aja ya... pake valentine2xan... :p kalo sekarang, kok gw malah ngerasa agak2x cheesy gitu ya kalo ngerayain valentine... (hmm... ga punya cowok juga sih.. hahaha).. tapi, emang gw stuju bhw menyatakan cinta dan kasih sayang mustinya itu tiap hari, ga cuman setaun sekali!
plus, valentine's day is all about... spending money on expensive restaurants, buying expensive gifts, buying heart shape chocolates, etc etc... duh!
I agree with you that they just turn the val day in the name of love to make money. I wrote kind in the same manner about this.. :)
take care dear..
