The Best Things In Life Are Free - Like Love!

 It's Februarius (i think it sounds better in Latin *wink*), the Love month!!! I love Love, who doesn't? The redness in the air and the 3 C's - cupid, chocolate and champagne lol. Love is a beautiful thing and in this month,Valentine's day falls within. So many things happen within this period and it is pretty much a crazy time for some!

I remember a while back in university, i had a friend who was in a relationship with one of the 'big boys' in school then. He was head over heels with her or so she thought. He got gifts randomly, took her out on shopping sprees and gave her money all the time. She was in love and he was the best thing that happened to her, we all felt. However on the 1st  of February he started acting funny and by the end of the first week he was totally ignoring and avoiding her. " I don't know what i have done to Dapo, he has been avoiding me. He doesn't take my calls neither does he return them. I even saw him near my hostel talking to one girl in Mass Comm department, Chinenye or so, that one has been carrying face for me since then. I will go and give her a piece of my mind oh" " What do want to tell her" "That she should stay away from my boyfriend!" "Maybe you should tell your boyfriend that instead" . He never picked her call nor saw her till Val's day passed. Sometime around the last week of February, he sent her a text apologising for his abrupt silence and further gave her a cock and bull story for an excuse!
For some it's one of the most memorable time ever. Stanley had been dating his girlfriend Shalewa for just 6 months. He was pretty much a successful Lagos boy who was always balling in the nicest things of life. Val's day fell on a working day that particular year and Shalewa was at work when a call came through on her phone from an anonymous number "Hello Good Afternoon, Please am i on to Miss Shalewa?" " Yes please, Shalewa speaking, who is this?" " My name is Darius and i am a dispatch man, please you have a parcel with me" "Parcel? Okay, where are you now?" "I'm currently outside your office" She went outside to meet a young man dressed neatly in a dispatch uniform. She walked up to him. "Darius right, how are you" " Fine thank you madam. Here's your parcel" He left thereafter. She opened the parcel and it was a key. There was a note inside as well "This is to you my love Shalewa,It is the key to the white car in front of you, Stanley" She looked up and saw a white Mercedes Benz E- class 2016 model parked like an aesthetic design in the premises. News spread all over her office and her reputation in her office doubled up immediately!
Valentine's day was always a painful reminder to Victoria on how long she has been engaged. Her supposed boyfriend engaged her in a lavish way 6 years ago, yes!!! She had officially being turned to the 'lord of the rings' as there was no sign of willingness from her supposed boyfriend to marry her. She was so miserable and for that despised Val's day.
Kunle and Gbemi have been married for 14 years and only until recently, they were both suckers for Valentine's day. Kunle seemed to have lost all his spark and Gbemi, all her charm. Valentine's day was like breathing to them both. It wasn't like they both fancied their new attitude to Valentine's day but none was willing to break a sweat nor move a muscle.
What would Valentine's day be for you? A day full of surprises, shock, indifference, regrets or full of all shades of love *wink*

Love Fever!

Hi lovelies, I'm so sorry for going MIA on you guys. Things have been spinning a lot faster and I had a lot on my plate. But guess what, I'm back for y'all!!!
So, we're still in the month of love (well technically, lol) as Val's day was less than a week ago! How was your val, people?
I saw a lot of funny, sad and weird dps and status that day and I couldn't help but ponder why some people were feeling unloved, weird and funny in a less pleasing way...I reached out to some people and here's what they had to say.

"Some guys that were on my case just vamoosed, not all sha, but those I was anticipating, kind of disappointed me"   A lady who works in a restaurant said " I did not get any gift on Val's day, i was working all day, but on getting to my boyfriend's place, he did not give me anything, i felt sad as he doesn't buy me any gifts or stuff like that"  I further asked her why she was still with him then " abeg my sister, men are now scarce nowadays, especially those that want to date and stay in a relationship, infact talking about it now, i feel more sad" She walked away downcasted. I quickly turned to the other lady who stood beside her, "I did not get anything too, it's all good" Another person, a guy said," She had not given me any direct answer and I didn't want to bother myself buying her anything expensive, so I just chilled in a bar in the evening with my boys" Lol, nawa oh, so now it is now a case of give to receive!
I met someone who had something positive to say! " my Val's day was so nice oh, I had various guys asking me out before then and it was like they were in a competition to out do themselves, mehn I can't even complain!" Nice, at least coming from a girl.
But generally, most other people who all pleaded anonymity, were generally unhappy and couldn't understand why no one could love them, as to hang out with them, or get them a gift. I was left thinking, where they looking in the wrong direction? Or where they expecting too much from those people who are already in their lives even if they are not officially dating? Or have they let real love pass them by, by judging those who they meet on a high yardstick? I wouldn't know, but I feel one should not end up staying or being around someone that makes you sad or unsure of yourself, because you will only end up killing all the love you have inside of you. One more thing, always look out for the signs even if its at the early stage of a relationship in other to avoid stories that touch!
Somehow one's true intention will shine through, even if it's for a nanosecond, grab it people, place it on the radar, under the 'heart and head microscope', so you can see and understand better!
How was your Val's day and how's your love life in general, if sweet, give tips so that everyone can learn and in turn would have a sweet love life and if you don't have any love life *coughs*, tell us what you have been doing so that we would all avoid it abeg!
Imagine the world with so much love *wink*
