Yeah Valentine’s Day STILL Sucks - Be My Anti-Valentine
I've always been anti-valentine's day, I've even been in the papers for my views on this.
It seems trendy in the last 1-2 years to go against Valentine's day, it seems anti-commercialism is finally hitting the mainstream.
What's the point really? Overpriced flowers? Overpriced dinners?
As I mentioned before, I learnt a very good lesson about 20 years ago from my lovely mother, I bought her some tulips on mother's day as is customary.
She scolded me upside down..
The gist of her message was why...why did you buy these flowers today when they are triple the normal price? What does today mean? Why do you need to buy these flowers today? Can you not show your appreciation to me on any day? Or every day? Because the flowers are triple price, that means on other days you could buy me flowers 3 times rather than 1, and they would be unexpected, so more appreciated.
She advised me if I wanted to do something, make her a card, or make something, that would show I really put some effort and not just dropped some money, which anyone can do. And it doesn't support the commercial bastards who are intent on emptying our pockets.
Basically she said the day is bullshit, and the same goes for Valentine's day, appreciate your partner every day.
Not just when the man wants you to so he can grab your money. Buy your girlfriend flowers whenever you see some nice ones, surprise her with a nice dinner. Celebrate your anniversary, because that is a meaningful day.
Don't celebrate Valentine's day, Father's Day, Mother's Day or whatever other spend-your-money Day they come up.
And to those singles who say Valentine's day makes you feel more single, you are a bunch of wet, spineless, no brained fuckers too.
Valentine's day has never made me feel anything, either way...because it's a meaningless day created to make money.
Don't support Valentine's day.
Be my Anti-Valentine.

You can see what I wrote about Valentine's day 2 years ago:
Happy Valentines Day..Or not..
And other people who agree:

Although I totally agree re Valentine's day. Mrs I often asks, "what are we doing this Valentine's day?", to which she gets the frankly unromantic answer of " we've been married 18 years - so same as every other bloody valentines day, dinner, drink and watch a film....or something
"

Another to be Anti-Valentine is not to talk about Valentine Day. Or you can try vandalize Valentine Day entry at Wikipedia XD

happy valentine... nice site, although this is my first time to comment.
and what's an anti valentine actually?
Using
You're absolutely right.... I wouldn't want my husband to buy me overpriced flowers on Valentines day but a normal priced gucci bag and a holiday at some Aman resort will do nicely. THank you...

[...] Yeah man. After spending near half-day in a car with two guys on a roadtrip from sending off a friend at Kuching (spoilers ahead not present), yes - this is my best Valentine’s Day ever. Haruhi and Tammy (more info below) made me feel better. Then again, Valentine’s Day has long since degenerated into a day where greedy businessmen exploit the season and manipulate the masses into buying over-overpriced gifts for their loved ones. *sigh* And to think less than a few hours ago I was whining along with my friends about not having a girl to spend Valentine’s with. Thanks for opening my eyes, ShaolinTiger. [...]

does anyone know how to get to Little Genting - Puchong?
i'm staying in petaling jaya.
Using
Hahaha. I like this. I feel better now.
Btw the only Little Genting I know is in Cheras-Ampang area. It's a place where couples go for their makeout-dezvous.
