i just found myself labouring over what has got to be the most romantic gesture i've ever done for anyone. i hope he likes it when he finds it in the morning. too bad he's not a breakfast kind of person because i'd have gladly woken up at 5am to whip up a storm. i wish he's more of a foodie. i also wish i had a bigger budget [my surprise took exactly zero dinero] and more creativity and romance in me. him on the other hand, nothing is required of him. i told him, no flowers, no pink shit, no bears. maybe he could get me a fondue pot, i'd be really happy. my valentine's history has been uneventful thus far. my first v day's date was at 14, with a cute boy from acs whom i'm still in touch with and then it was quite a downward spiral from thereonin, or so my failing memory says. oh wait, i remember. at 15, with innocence and naivete fast wearing out, my then best friend and i crept into class super early that morning and left one hershey's kiss at the corner of everyone's desk for them to find when we all stream in later. it was very nice seeing everyone's expressions. i seem to have mixed up what i did for when i was 16 or 17, but that year, i was in a large posse of single girls and i think i was newly single myself. someone came up with the brainchild of giving out random guys whom we found attractive, no chick on arm, no bouquet in hand a rose. the things single girls can get up to. so anyway, i gave up my single stalk in a rather machiavellian, passive aggressive move that only girls are capable of. the recipient remembered me for it, asked me out and we went out a couple of times but the chemistry was sorely lacking and we stayed friends. 18 was damn uneventful. in fact the whole year was shite. profuse apologies to my then boyfriend if he did anything because i really can't seem to recollect anything. at 19, i hurt one and made another happy without knowing my life would then be changed drastically. i wish i had the balls to say no to both sometimes. that's all folks. i planned to retire two hours earlier and ended up getting all arts 'n crafts for my surprise to him. damn i'm sweet. have a good v day everyone!

the textual siege.
