Getting older calls for a transformation on cultural and social affairs in life. Unlike the teens and the early adult-life that during Valentine's day particularly in the Philippines is full of surprises.
There were times that students would just leave their hand-made card on the teacher's table. And you found out htat some students are heartistic to you as children. Some would surprise you to offer roses even if you are a man. And in thecard of it, you found some students wanting to offer you joy as well.
At home, Valentine7s day is joyous as there is always kisses and greetings! That was common onthe modern Philippines already.
But in Japan, aside that they dont celebrate Valentine's day, there are malls displaying hearts and banners of Valentine's day calling for a better markei from the public. Nothing more!
At home in Japan, there is no Valentine's day too. I made a hand-made card made of recycle paper cut-outs. I gave it to my eldest son yet, it is for all of them. I got no response. My wife is only a woman in the house. She mothers the kids and blinds herself on her husband. Maybe, there is no more attraction between.
Love has to go beyond age. I hope to discover more the culture of love in the twilight zone. This is a new challnege and learning for me too.
To the lonely and "home alone" persons, happy valentine's day!
