Are u rushing for the V-day deadline?

It seems as if we havent gotten enough of deadlines to meet, be it u r a student or working adult. But now i see some guys r having this additional 'V-Day' deadline to meet ie. to find a gf by V day. According to PeaNuts, one of her colleagues even make a 2006 resolution to find a gf by V-day.

I remembered on the V-day in 2001, I had my tech-com lesson. Our tutor happened to be an old spinster and for whatever reason, a few of my classmates kena scolded by her. And it didnt help that this guy friend of mine was already in mild depression over the fact that he was still unable to find himself a gf at the age of 21. So we end up cursing our tutor that she must have felt miserable too on V day feeling lonely, haha.

V-day is supposed to be a very happy and joyous day for couples to celebrate. But i choose to see the negative side - its a day when opportunists slaughter you with exorbitant prices. Its a day when bfs get stressed with what to buy for their gfs. Its a day when some gals ponder if they will receive 'better' gifts or none at all. Its a day when office gals got upset when the flowers they receive are less beautiful than their colleague's. Its also a cruel day to remind those desperate singles that they are still single. Hence, its not uncommon to find many depressing and low-morale souls on V-day itself.

Frankly speaking, I DO NOT feel a single pinch tat i have no date on V day. But i do know a few of my guy friends feeling rather upset and depress that they are still single at this age. And i guess there r also some guys who try to make a KILL on V-day itself hoping to get themselves a gf, while others set themselves silly deadlines to find a gf by V-day.

Well, i duno wat to say. But its really quite silly to get yourself troubled with such stuffs. Meanwhile, I applause for those couples who do not get tricked by the commercialised world to have their V-day dinner planned at some expensive dinners.
