Fads, Fats and Facts

Well it's Feburary 14th again.

What can i say? Saint Valentine did something to make the whole city dedicate this day to him, so it must worth something.

For those single people out there, V day would be one of their most dreadful days. There will be some who will have their dosage of cable TV with snacks and cup noodles to munch up all the loving they need and for some, they will go out there and proclaim the happiness of their singlehood.

These singles call it Friendship Awareness Day (FAD) or Fats Accumulation Time (FAT).

Whatever FAD or FAT, all singles (including me) need to be aware of the FACT that we are single, we do not have a significant other or we just do not like the idea of being tied down.

Acknowledge the prescene of love and your lack of it in your current life. So what if others are holding hands, producing electricity or having sex in the kitchen now as we speak. It is their day of love. (even though I still think it is a marketing ploy)

They also went through a tough time before, they have fallen in and out of love before and have gone through the same as you before, being sad, lonely and miserable of their singlehood and rejoice at being carefree on V day.

It is all about fate. You can either go out and create it or you just wait for the chances to fall on your lap. Either case, love is bound to come a knocking.

For all the single people out there, here is a thought.

Couples or lovebirds, can quarrel all day, every hour for 364 days in their year and try to sweep all of it under the carpet with the pretense of having perfect love on Valentine's Day.

Singles, they can binge on any food they want without a care of their waistline of how their lovers will think of them and their salary is spent exclusively to their own benefits. They can be selfish without being sinful by "not taking consideration of the needs of others" It is only on V day when they have to take a 24 hour hermit hibernation.

Being in love is full of compromises sometimes. There are pros and cons of being attached and being single. Happy 364 days and being miserable on 1 day or Compromise 364 days and deluded 1 day.

You decide.

Happy Miserable Singles Day,
Benjamin
