Valentine Day

Happy Valentine for you all whether you believe in these things or not.

Anyways..'celebrating' with this anniversary i wanted to talk about the cultural meaning of this day.

I don't want to talk about the original story about Saint Valentine and all that..we all heard about it, and if someone did not .. try to google it, it is all over the web.

What i want to talk about is how does people celebrate this day. Thousands of people buy gifts and offer flowers to their beloved ones, they say all these romantic words and may fool each other. You know why? Because this day has become some commercial profit, companies are competing to offer the best for these people, and they end up ruining the whole idea of love, not of a day that reminds us that we love each other. Because after this day, it is normal to see those 'happy' love birds having a fight because of the silliest things ever. Isn't love supposed to be deeper than a flower or a diamond ring?

True love does not need some material to be proved, or to be reminded, a simple word is enough to explain it all, or not even a word, an action, a dead, to show that you care about someone, of course this someone does not have to be you boy/girl friend, it can be your father, mother, sister, brother, husband, or wife..etc.

 We are human beings and we have been created to be loved and to love. So stay away from commercial stuff and get real.

Of course there's no harm of buying gifts from now and then. I just want to get you to the point :)

Thanks

Caramelized Onions

My mom is used to watch those food channels, and whenever I am free I sit and watch with her, not that I like cooking, but it is only out of curiosity. That day I so that woman cooking a dish, and she said something about caramelized onions, and I started to think, it is such a strange term, but as the way the cook described it, it sounded so delicious. So I thought, onions are known for there bad smell, it cannot b someone's favorite vegetable for example, but still, it can make a perfect combination with a very opposite ingredient, sugar, contrasting with each other to create such a delicious flavor. Then I realized that there are many such contradiction in this world, contradiction that can create such a perfect unit. Although, the repeated stereotype known is that two alike are most likely can create a perfect unit, or a perfect couple, etc. But I guess it is totally the opposite, and life can show us many examples of this. Magnet for example, needs two opposite poles to be mag...

Another Reason Why I Hate Reality

I was completely shocked today when we were discussing some social matter that is related to our society. In fact, it made me really sad and my heart ached, I don't believe how low people can get! Some of you might heard of this and other might not, I didn't! They say that there are some girls who go to wedding or FUNERALS in order to show themselves as future brides for whoever is their who are looking for a girl to marry or whatever. What shocks me that places like weddings, funerals, or any social gathering ended up like this. I am really shameful by my own gender, there is no reason in the world that would let a descent girl sells herself like this, as a cheap object on a shelf in the corner. And worst of all, the fact that they are actually pretending to be someone they are not only to show others that they can be good wives while they are not. This is so sick, to use religion and social manners as a way to get what we need, I don't know how does this people think or h...

A Fresh Start

We all know that life has many obstacles, and because we are humans, we tend to face these obstacles all the time. Not just that, we also tend to face a lot of problems, the hard to be solved kind, only because at some moment we have made some stupid decision. Although, a stupid decision does not necessirly mean that we are stupid. The human mind meets a lot of destractions that might be from the person himself or from things around him. The heroic deed here is to get through them without making a big mess. A new beginning, these words gives the implication that there will be a fresh start once the problems are over. But, this freshness cannot be felt unless this person have a good plan for what his new beginning will be. The first thing is to set the goals, the second is to to have the deteriment to acheive these goals. However, before that, there is something really important, the step number zero. This step asks us to learn from the past, and then, dumb it in the nearest trash can a...
