The day after Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America and Europe, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Some of the valentine symbols include red roses, love knots, and love birds.(source: wikipedia, valentine's day)

As what has been explained above, Valentine's day is the day when most people in the world express their feeling to their loved ones. It has become an international event that everyone usually celebrates. Here are some parts of the universe that celebrate this day : America, Europe , even the conservative Asian countries like Japan and China, and lastly believe it or not it also does happen in middle east. This proves that love can replace anything. A very famous quote "Love is in the air" can really be felt on this day.

Yeah.. Anyway, although I can't give or get honmei-choko (本命チョコ); chocolate given to a loved one this year. I'm really grateful that i can get loads of tomo-choko (友チョコ); tomo meaning "friend" from my 'tomo's. Thanks a lot, friends. Hope that I'm able to return the favour to all of you during White day (usually this shd be done by guys. Lol..).

Not only chocolates, I also get a lot of sweets, balloons from my 'daughter' Mei and Bel as well as beautiful valentine wishes from the rest. For LEA, our love towards each other is undescribable that we don't give choc or presents to show it out (jz accept e fact that we're broke. Lol ^^).

Everyone, thanks a lot for all the sweets, chocolates, balloons and other presents for valentine.
Love ya all - Aishiteru - Te quiero
