What I Did on V Day
Last year on V Day, I did the following:
1- Made up excuse about having to go out for something work-related.
2- Drove around Amman and felt like crap run over twice.
3- Cried.
4- Came back home to find that a loyal someone who reads this blog got me an Amazon gift certificate worth 300$.
5- Felt good.
6- Took pictures of myself.
7- Opened a Facebook account.
8- Spent the rest of the day shopping on Amazon.
9- …and complaining to my mom how nobody understood me.
This year, I did the following in no particular order:
1- Felt loved.
2- Visited sister and kids.
3- SMSed loverboy.
4- Almost had a fight with loverboy.
5- Put cheesy status message on GTalk.
6- Discovered that life has no meaning, and as such, whatever I do or don’t do will not make a difference to its outcome.
7- Enjoyed the rain as I drove around Amman.
8- Became sleepy while driving in traffic.
9- Cursed loverboy for being away but looked at thoughtful present and smiled.
10- Decided not to care for V Day ever again. I don’t believe in saints anyway!

What did you do on V Day?

1. Worked my butt off
2. Tried calling a dear friend, but hell yeah no response! And no, I was not surprised! But for the idiosyncrasies probably there would have been no friendship in the first place.
3. Gave company to a friend at a bar. Oh no, don’t worry, I still remain a teetotaler
4. Had some serious thinking to do about an interesting business venture! *BUSINESS VENTURE* bhoy that sound oh so ultra cool ~;-P
5. Thought how much fun single life is. Oh well, what else can a non-meat eating, teetotaler, non smoking pacifist dude tell himself …
6. Thanked God for everything all the same!
7. Sleep!
