Happy Valentine's Day

I guess its all over. Another chapter of my life ended just like that. Its part and parcel of life right or am i wrong?

Do I blame her for anything? nope, for me loving her is already not enought where do I got the time to blame her so you don't have to apologize to me. Its alright. Maybe its not my time to be in love.

Have to shift my focus on other things as some say time will heal. Minimize all contact with her till i can regard her as a friend. Arghh.. its so hard. But hey if you need help, i'm more then willing to help you. You still got my contact i suppose cos by the time this blog is posted, all contact related to you should have been deleted. I think its the best way for me to stop all those feelings to continue flowing...

To fall in love is always easy
To start a relationship is always simple...
To build it, is always tough...
To maintain it, is 'better said than done'...
To break off, is 'easier said than done'...
To remain friends after u broke off, is never possible...
To forget the memories is 'always doing but never succeeding'...
To heal the pain within is hard and tough and never near simple...
But one has to try to heal your own heart...
The heart belongs to u...
If u don't heal it and have a space for someone to walk in,
The heart will always be sealed,
Memories will never be forgotten,
The pain will never go,
And u will never move on from where u started...


The History of Valentine's Day

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
