birthdays

February 14. It's the day that men or ladies alike the world over join in the mad rush for the purchase of red roses - a classic and romantic way of expressing their love for each other. February 14 has been made so commercialised the only parties benefiting from this occasion are the florists and gift shops. I myself have never dined or shopped on this day. It's the day where the retailers literally 'cut your throat' hiking up all prices a hundred percent and one. To all, it's a day for loving, a day for pampering and a day for celebrating love.

For one of my sisters, it has a whole meaning altogether. February 14th is her birthday. Every year, she gets only 1 present on this special day. Birthday and Valentine's rolled into one. My sister is pretty. She has lovely detailed eyes with nice long lashes. She has a nice small nose that goes with the rest of her petite face. She has also a very nice and small mouth which makes the sweetest voice when she speaks. Everyone who has met her be it guy or girl has compliment her beauty. Could it be that when she was born, Cupid and all the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true? After all, February 14th is supposed to be all sweet and nice.

If it's true, then people who were born on February 2 must be the ugliest looking things in the world. They must be short, hairy and sleepy heads who doze their heads off every few months for February the 2nd is none other than Groundhog Day!
