My Funny Valentine -- the day after

What happened around the globe yesterday, on the so called Valentine Day? Let's see.

Actress Salma Hayek wed her longtime partner in a romantic ceremony on Valentine's Day, in Paris, France, after calling off their engagement last July and having a 16-month-old daughter, Valentina (how sweet ). The "First Family" Barack Obama and Michelle Obama had their Valentine's Day dinner at Table Fifty-Two on West Elm Street in Chicago. Lovers exchanged sweet love poems, red roses , boxes of chocolate and had their romantic candle light dinner at the place of their choice. In some Islamic countries, Valentine Day was either banned or discouraged and people were torn between pros and contras. Either way, the Valentine mood had filled the air. So what? He3x

As for me, Valentine Day have never had a special meaning. Myself, my circle of friends and family and "close friend" never took this day seriously. No days of thinking and hunting for Valentine gifts or making reservation at the special place. Nothing religious, for no reason at all, we just never celebrate and consider the day as a special one. February 14 is just like any other day of the year. And yesterday was one of those days. I was sitting in front of my computer, trying out strategy for my participation in the SEO contest Kampanye Damai Pemilu Indonesia 2009 (he3x.. what have I done to myself .. I would tell you about this some other time lolz ), and at the end of the day feeling low because of a misunderstanding.

And you know what? Despite what I have been saying about not consider Valentine Day as a special day, I could not help myself hoping this "Valentine Day" would not have been this bad. Funny isn't it? Well.. yeah.... so what. Suddenly I remember this song my mom used to listen to: My Funny Valentine

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet youre my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But dont change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

I listened to each and every words of the song and wished that I were "the lovable sweet comic valentine" and hoped that "each day is valentine day" ..how sweeet.. And hey!...
