Honestly ,
Does anyone else thinks that this is nothing more than a way for hallmarket to sell their crap? Maybe I’m bitter because I am single, but looking it from a non-brainwashed prespective it seems nothing more than marketing… ?

V-day reminds me of gold diggers. I hate gold diggers. Gives the rest of us a bad name.

I thought the origin of Valentines day was based on a guy named Valentino…(this day is the saint day for valentino’s around the world)
Who was in prison for some reason, i think cause he made love to other peoples wifes (if i remember correctly) and he use to write love poems and letters to his women. And I guess he died on this day…
that what i remember it was originally about. :-\
brb:: ill search google
