Valentine's Day: Hit Us Again With Your Pointy Arrows Dear Cupid

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We all know Valenine's Day is one of those special days when boys get to have an excuse on becoming a little more intimate with the girls they are courting, or when lovers have that expectation that their partners will be giving them a bouquet of red roses, coupled with a box of Ferrero and a greeting card with loving dedications.

But in this digital age when greetings are now being sent via social media through PMs and mobile chats, don't be surprised if you receive the digital versions of the traditional Valentine's Day gifts. These are some of the times when technology becomes a bit insensitive and less sentimental. It takes away the romantic experience of swooning from the delightful display of affection. Is this the price we pay in exchange of economic development and advancement in technology?

Why do you think Cupid is depicted as a young child? He's not a big fat guy that looks like he's nine months pregnant. Because love should remain young and vibrant. It should not be replaced by a less personal digital greeting card of this time zone. It should remain a pure and sensible face-to-face interaction between two individuals sharing a bond that should last a lifetime. It should never grow old and fade away into nothing but memories of the good old romantic days. Just like the world of Peter Pan, there should always be love and passion in our own Neverland.

But why does Cupid shoot arrows to the heart? Because true love is not all fun and pleasure, it hurts most of the time. I guess we could assume that Cupid probably doesn't have a healthy 20/20 vision ... and it would help a lot if he would consider shooting both couples. Love is not really good if it's one-sided. Please bear in mind dear Kupido, that unrequited love is more heartbreaking than break-ups. Got it?

I am no fan of love that rose out of the necessity to live comfortably. We've seen people give sound advice of using your brains instead of your heart since all that love in the world would not be enough to feed hungry mouths.

Please also do find love at the right time and age. Please make sure these young boys have money left to pay for their tuition fees after spending them buying huggable Teddy bears or heart-shaped pillows. Let them realize that the greatest gift one could receive every special occasion is sincere love and affection. You'll know its sincere if he can look straight into your eyes and say "I love You" without hesitation.
Kapag may nakita kayong mag-jowang naglalandian sa daan, huwag po nating isigaw ang linyang... "Mag bre-break' din and mga 'yan! WALANG FOREVER!"

This made me think if there is ever real love in this world nowadays. People have become so materialistic that true love is set aside just to assure a so-called better future living in luxurious dream houses with fancy cars and sporting the latest gadgets and fashion trends. People have wanted to imitate the celebrities' royal weddings that they've prioritized a wealthy arrangement instead of a healthy relationship.

Gone are the days when a person would do everything all for love. Wala na yata ang mga taong "hahamakin ang lahat, masunod ka lamang".
