Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day


Tomorrow is Valentine's Day - a really big day for many people, especially to many ladies in this country and around the globe. Some of ladies may actually be pretty anxious and excited to wait for the moment to arrive, hoping to be be surprised and swept off feet by their sweetheart, lover, spouse or secret admirer from the traditional tokens of love such as fresh roses, imported dark chocolates, a getaway trip for two to a romantic destination, a marriage proposal to something which is unique, creative and one of the the kind.

Like many guys in my own species, I am not a big fan of V-day although I am not against the idea to dedicate a day to show our special and sincere appreciations to the ladies we love. In part, it's because I don't like to be put in the situation in which I have to bow to peer pressures and high expectations. My lady protests that if you can handle the large dose of risks and stresses coming from the markets volatility, why not "a little love pressure". Well, there is a huge difference between those two. To begin with, you can't compare oranges with apples as they are in dissimilar categories. Secondly , financial instruments have no heart beats, a human does. In another words, you don't get intimacy with the money the way you do with your girl, up close and personal.

Nevertheless, shrugging off few complaints, I still enjoy v-day. Primarily after spending some time to figure out and implement a new idea based up romantic mechanism that worked before, I am able to collect the rewords in a long way.

I don't know about what other people may think, I believe that to adults, V-day should be renamed as ML-Day. I suspect, each year, for a single day, largest numbers of humans may ml happily on this planet on V-day. Although ladies might prize more those romantic ways and means in the process than the final products, we, on the other hand, would prefer the actions without extensive processing time. However, at the end, two forces would balance it out themselves, delivering the goodies and making Valentine's Day a special occasion to remember.

In conclusion, no matter if  you are the kind of guys like me who just want to skip the main courses to have the desert first, or you really like to milk it for all its worth, my humble thought is that for the sake of love,情人節這一天, 請把我們的手溫柔安靜地放在她/他的懷中,感覺那一份溫暖。

Note:

a. The picture comes from internet.
b. Put a clip of sound track from a recent Chinese movie. A measure, hopefully, would show how much I care my homeland.

Thanks for your compliments. People often mistaken me as banana typed Chinese, but the real truth is that inside me, I have a very firm cord which has crystallized with Chinese cultures and heritages. Put it in another way, I'll never forget where I came from no matter how much or little I'd accomplish in my life time. It's all in my blood. :)

Appreciate your advise, will do that.

Sorry for my belated reply. I went a reclusive retreat (away from the modern conveniences) during this President Day long weekend. You lived in states years ago, you know how crazy might be when people combine long weekend with v-day. :)

Thanks much for your kind suggestion, I'll slow down and take it easy.

Are you still "stationed" in Suzhou or some other city at present time? In any case, please take good care and welcome to drop few line here anytime.
小米和小麥 回複 悄悄話 縱然好,看你對國內的家裏人都那麽好,就知道你肯定心係祖國和人民。:)))
這首歌我挺喜歡,電影倒沒聽說過。提一個小建議:如果我打開你的博客首頁,你的第一帖和第二帖的video是同時播放的,聽起來互相幹擾。你可以做成每頁隻有一個帖子,而且版麵看起來也比較好看。打開你博客上麵第一行的“更新資料”,把裏麵的“博客首頁顯示”改成1個帖子就好了。----僅供參考。:)
流沙隨風 回複 悄悄話 問候平行老弟。以前我們在陽光那裏見過,我現在不常上來了。

你是做投資的吧?嗬嗬,錢是賺不完的,please take it easy. 共勉 :)
縱然平行 回複 悄悄話 Thanks for your v-day gifts, appreciated. I bet, after reading my piece, you had a very romantic holiday celebration. :)

Are you trying to make fun of me, again ? Didn't I ask you for not praising me too much? :))

You know I am just a little guy (or a wsn if you will) in this virtual city, trying to bubble some nonsense quietly unlike you who clearly have talents and charm, let alone a soaring popularity. (it's not a mp, I mean it.)

Yes, you are absolutely right about it. I like this music clip because it lets me relate to the land where I grew up and reminds me about my family members whom I love for all my life.

The long weekend is coming up, hope you can relax and enjoy time to be with your family members, and make some fantastic cover songs to share with us if time permits.

oops:欣賞你淳樸深邃的內心:)(不是MP)

喜歡這歌詞。我想縱然一定跟這歌很有共鳴。
tern2 回複 悄悄話 好文!好思!欣賞淳樸深邃的內心。
在CO一次,因為說的太好:情人節這一天, 請把我們的手溫柔安靜地放在她/他的懷中,感覺那一份溫暖。

帥哥情人節快樂!鮮花送上,美酒送上:)
