| Valentine Alert! |

Owing to certain cosmic malfunctioning, valentines is here again and for millions of women out there, this is Christmas, mothers day, birthday all rolled up in one day. I still stand by my annual resolution. I don’t celebrate valentines and the issue is not subject to debate. Having experienced this anomaly for several years. I have a few ideas on how to survive this day.
Guys! Valentines this year is on a Wednesday (Ladies night at any club) and if you are lucky, she goes in free. If not! Make sure she is among the first 20 ladies she will get a free glass of wine and a rose! That will be a major saving on your part. Hoping that your girl friend does not drink like a fish, the second glass of wine should sum up the night. If you spend anything more than 50 pin on drinks….. You are an idiot! The above solution is for guys who actually want to make an effort to go out with there girlfriends. The red dress she is wearing should be from last year, Red dresses are for valentines and weddings ONLY. There have not been too many marriages in her family, so it should still be good enough for next year. The roses! Man! That’s so cliché! You are killing the environment! Get her something more permanent … like plastic flowers and plastic fruits; after all….true love lasts forever! Finally, if you still don’t want to heed to this advice, remember… don’t wait for valentines to tell her how much love her. Life is short, everyday should be a celebration of your affection for those close to your heart don’t let one day define how you feel about her\. Everyday should be spent manifesting your love to her. Chicks! The red dress in all honesty is a bad idea; it makes you look desperate and expectant. Waiting on him to bring flowers to the office is equally a bad idea, chances are you will be going home in your red dress, mascara running down your face with a paper bag from Shoprite where the remnants of the 2 pieces of chicken and chips your office mate shared with you. The flowers! Oh don’t get me started. I have always associated flowers with 2 things or rather places. Leopards Hill and UTH, and come on! You really don’t want to be at either of the places. So let’s forget the flowers and stick to the chocolates… Oops! Your gym membership expired last year. The choice is yours… Now comes the phony dinner and the semblance of an effort on his part, what is he going to say on valentines that he has not said in the last 5 years? Ok! Maybe I am being too hard, there are some brothers out there who have their %&% together and this will really be a memorable evening….. Bullshit! Ladies, you know your men! Don’t demean yourself by lowering your expectations to just day in a year; you are worth more than that. You know it, he knows it… so take off the red dress and be yourself. In my case, it’s the 14th, I will be broke… don’t put me on trial. Last Word! Valentines is just a day when we all want to look really good and be on our best behavior in the hope that we will get some! Guys don’t suddenly become studs nor do women become irresistible. It’s the red dresses and penguin suits that transform us, for a day into loving humans. Think about it, is that how we, as humans can sum up our greatest feeling, sum it up in a day??? I am not saying you should not go do something extra, but it not be the only day in the year you find it necessary to display your affection and appreciation for your better half.
