Just another day on the calender

"Denile. It's not just a river in Egypt. It's a freaken ocean. So how do we keep from drowning in it?" - Meredith Grey

I can pretend today is just another day on the freaken calender, but we all know 14 February signals Valentines Day. (Excuse me while I wipe up the vomit from the floor).

Okay Okay. Let me state the first fact. I am not one of those bitter people who had one bad Valentines Day and now sworn it off for the rest of my existence. I'm just a firm believer that Valentines Day should be celebrated everyday. Love shouldn't be bought by money. It should be bought by pure acts of random, selfless kindness.

My bestie, Chené reckons that today is "Single's Awareness Day." Couldn't agree more. Rather try and make money off single people than on love.

Every year around 1 billion Valentine cards are sent across the world. After Christmas this is the single largest card-sending holiday.

Verona, the Italian City where Shakespeare's play lovers, Romeo and Juliet lived, receives about 1 000 letters every year sent to Juliet on Valentine's Day.

The oldest surviving love poem till date is written in a clay tablet from the times of the Sumerians, the inventors of writing, around 3500 B.C.

Is Valentines Day just still another day on the calender for me? Yes. But, I can't deny the fact that I am a hopeless romantic and if some random card ended up on my desk or in my mailbox, I would smile bigger than a small boy opening his birthday presents.

Denile. It's not just a freaken river in Egypt hey.
