Disillusions

I hate those moments when I log into Facebook and see my news feed cluttered up with someone's spam shares on pictures and quotes that promote what a girl wants and what every boyfriend should do. 

Seriously. I know you're excited about Valentine's Day, but keep it between you and your significant other, eh? While some(hey, I'm being fair here, alright) of those shares were pretty darn sweet(cause duh, which girl doesn't secretly habor hopes for something or some dream to be fulfilled), the rest were just...plain cheesy. It made me facepalm like..like no tomorrow. What's with these potential feminists and their constant churning out of photos and quotes that encourage young women to have this fixed vision of their Prince Charming? They're deluding these youngsters. I do believe relationships are a two-way street; each partner has to meet each other halfway. Not a one way street, be it from a girl's point of view of a boy's perspective. I've come across plenty of that during my high school years to know enough of that. 

I'm no 'expert' on relationships. I don't believe anyone can actually be an 'expert' on what one should or should not do. I have only one motto: Meet each other half way. And trust in God to look after the rest. 

Oh, and I'm no feminist either. I despise feminists. I think there's a difference between fighting for equality and fighting to get the female race to dominate the entire world. I loathe how some extremist moves tend to lean more to the point of encouraging women to overpower men and take over their roles. I may be a woman, and I do believe in equal rights, but I still adhere to God's word which says we are the 'weaker partner'. I don't think God was downgrading women, I think He was just embracing the feminine, gentle nature of females in which He created them to be. And also telling them men to better take good care of their wives or face the wrath or their Creator. 

Anyways! I don't know what drove me to write whatever nonsense I wrote above. I got carried away as usual. Duh. Typical me. I was suppose to write about something related to Valentines Day.Oh, yes, my insane college campus is having a Valentine's sale.. teddy bears, chocolates, yadda yadda yadda. Stepped out today after class ended and saw the booth all set up. It's surprising how colleges allow for Valentine's Day sales, even openly acknowledging 'lovers' and so on... back in high school, when the clubs wanted to sell stuff in relation to Feb14, they had to rephrase it to 'Friendship Day', which was kinda lame, and somehow didn't stop the boyfriend of one of my classmates from purchasing her a bouquet of 99 roses XD. 

Moral of the story? Malaysian public high schools; give it up already. There's no way rephrasing 'Valentine's Day' can actually deter young kids from experiencing getting together or whatever you call it. Besides, Interact Club was selling ROSES, in white and yellow and red... do friends really give roses to each other to express their friendship? D: 

Apparently, they do. XD Girls, yes. Guys...um..maybe not so much. Would be pretty awkward if one of them got a rose with a label that said "LOVE FROM BRYAN."

This Valentine's Day, though, I'll be spending it with my beloved partner of...15 years? :DD

Oh, beloved lamchim. Always ready with a cuddle every night. I couldn't ask for a better Valentine's. :)

Goodnight, world. Don't get too caught up in the lovers' den! There's life out there; don't waste it.
