Holidays (Cameron Highlands Trip) Part 1

It's now the holidays and everyone is having fun doing stuff and then there's just me sat in my chair writing this post. So far, I've really had just an average holiday. Just lazying around at home, playing Counter Strike daily, only sleeping in the wee hours in the morning and having lunch in the late afternoons. Oh well, a lazy lifestyle for a lazy person I guess. Also the occasional outings out with friends and long lost friends too. Anyway, the highlight of my holidays so far has to be the 4 day vacation with my family in Cameron Highlands that I had at the start of the school holidays.

During the journey to Cameron Highlands, we stopped by in Bidor to have breakfast. We ate the famous duck noodles that can only be found in Bidor. The duck noodles were delicious with the soup filled with herbs to give it a nice aroma. After having breakfast, we continued our journey up the hill. It was a very bendy and a steep road. After a while, I started to feel nauseous and my parents saw that I was struggling but it wasn't at a point that I couldn't stand it and so we continued going up the hill. Soon, the surroundings became a little foggy and so we knew that we've made it to Cameron Highlands. I winded down the window and took in a breath of air. The air in Cameron Highlands is so refreshing and cool.

I took out the itinerary that I had planned for the trip and looked at the map for our first place to go sightseeing. First on the list of places to visit was the Lavender Farm. On the way there, we passed by a few towns packed with shops selling souvenirs and also potted flowers of many varieties. We also passed by many nurseries filled with many types of colourful flowers and many types of green plants. After a while, we finally arrive at Lavender Farm. The first thing that we saw at the entrance of Lavender Farm is just a sea of colourful flowers ranging from red to yellow to even pink colours...

Sports (Transition Words)

Sports is an activity involving physical exertion that requires a type of skill to win. Nowadays, there are many different type of sports that people play comparing to back in the day when many of the sports that we know now were not famous. One of those sports is football, the beautiful game. There are people all around the world who watch or play football or both whether it be as a job or a hobby. Besides that, basketball is also a world renown sport that many of my friends play. For me, my favourite sport no doubt has to be football. The reason why my favourite sport is football is that I practically grew up playing and watching football. Every week, I see my favourite football team play and it gives me motivation to become like them one day even though it will mostly not materialise. It's still a motivation for me to succeed in the future. 

Cyberbullying (Transition Words)

Cyberbullying in general, is a form of bullying that takes place on an electronical device such as on a computer, a phone and et cetera. Now with the vast technological advancement, mostly everyone have access to any type of social media. Communication is so much easier than back then, with faxes and telegraphs. However, there are also such people known as internet trolls that lurk on social media. They will go around all kinds of social media to post mean comments or messages just to put the victim down. Lately, cyberbullying has been much more apparent on the internet. As a result of this, suicide cases of the victims of cyberbullying have been increasing. Furthermore, it is also the cause of fights in real life that has caused a death of an innocent man. On the subject of cyberbullying, the majority of the victims of cyberbullying are teenagers who are very prone to such thing. In regards to this, all the parties involved should take the neccessary steps and precaution to prevent and banish cyberbullying once and for all.

Appreciate while you can...

1. Once, in an outskirt of a country lived a rich farmer. Villagers there bowed before him and respected him as the leader of the community as he was the founder of the village. He had earned all these as every inch of the place was pioneered by him with his bare hands. He owned lands as much as we could calculate on a map. Therefore, his wealth was incompatible. 
2. As he got married, his wife gave birth to two children who were boys. He was overjoyed to have a bigger family with the birth of his two sons. He even celebrated their birthday with the villagers by having a feast for days. He had never been so happy before.
3. His life went on with his two sons. He felt grateful to be able to see them getting bigger day by day and never bothered the fact that he was also getting older each day. He thought that God had gave him the most precious gift of all and there was no reason to beef anymore. They were living together happily.
4. As the years went by, his sons had grown up and started leading their own lives. He divided his properties and distributed it to his sons. He thought that his sons were adults and expected them to use the properties given to them wisely. On top of that, he hoped that his sons would inherit his business. However, the younger son began to get restless because he was unhappy with his lot.
5. At first, he did not want to argue about the unfairness he faced as he expected more from his father. Nonetheless, nothing changed and he became more and more indignant. Thus, he decided to go to his father and ask for his share of the property. 
6. The father tried to dissuade his son, but he wouldn't listen to his father whom he regarded as old and ignorant. 
7. Having no choice when he heard the complaints of his younger son, he gave him a third of his property. Maybe this might satisfy him, he thought. He hopes that his son would not disappoint him as he did that to tell him that he was not trying to be unfair. 
8. By then, without the father's knowledge, the young man sold his share of the property and left for another country. He thought that by doing so he might find a new start and earn more money to enjoy life without his father's control and restraints.
9. As he wished, he led a luxurious life. Above all, he spent a lot of money on gambling. He went casinos where all rich man goes day and night, spending money like throwing rubbish into the dump. He never cared as he still thought that he has a lot of money. 
10. His debts piled while his money depleted. Yet, he was not aware of himself inching bankruptcy. Soon all his money was gone and he became a pauper. Only then, he regreted  all his unappreciative doings, but, it was too late.

Life Of A Student

Just another Monday morning, climbing out of bed while still in slumber. My eyes are still not wide awake. Getting ready for school is always an absolute struggle especially on a Monday. The two days of rest is just not enough for my brain to rest. After getting ready for school, I went to get breakfast at a nearby mamak shop. The usual currypuff and ice lemon tea never gets old. After breakfast, it's the start of another day of studying for around half a day. Tons of work start to pile up and before I know it, the rest of my afternoon is gonna be used up to finish homework. At least friends help to make experience better thanks to their funny jokes and sarcasm. Soon after the end of school for the day, begins the stress with all of the homework. Sometimes, I don't finish the homework in time and spent the wee hours of the morning to finish it. Thus, the cycle continues each day.

Pizza

Pizza is a circular shaped bread that can be littered with many types of toppings depending on one's preference that originated from Italy. The most common types of toppings are slices of pepperoni, chunks of pineapples and my personal favourite, mozzarella cheese. Nowadays, pizza is sold all across the world. There are also different types of pizza with different types of crust and many layers for the big eaters. For me, my favourite kind of pizza has to be the Hawaiian pizza which has a tomato base, slices of chicken ham, chunks of pineapple and melted mozzarella cheese all over it. Now, rather than just eating pizza, I plan to actually make one instead. Actually, I have already made one before and it turned out spectacularly and now I plan to make another one but I have not made one in about a year and a half already. I just hope that the pizza that I will make will end up just as good as the first one.

Pokemon GO hype

Just last week, the world went haywire thanks to the arrival of the long awaited mobile game, Pokemon Go. What makes the game so special? It is basically a standard Pokemon game but makes it that you can only move your avatar by moving in the real world. The world has been taken by storm by the concept. Furthermore, the introduction of three different teams, Mystic, Valor and Instinct has started a "friendly" competition among players especially between my friends. Although there are three different teams, it is clear enough that Team Mystic is the best of them all just for the simple fact that the legendary bird Pokemon that inspires the creation of the teams specifically Team Mystic is the best among the three teams. Am I hyped about Pokemon Go? Hell yeah I am! Team Mystic hype! Anyway, Pokemon Go can help us to be more healthy by moving around but also can bring some negative effects such as people crashing their cars because they weren't paying attention while driving. In a whole, Pokemon Go definitely deserves the hype it is getting.

Homecooked Food

Homecooked food is undoubtedly one of the best food that one can get. What makes homecooked food extremely special is that the food cooked is filled with love, sweat and tears which are not really part of the recipe but it is vital for a delicious meal. Luckily for me, my dad cooks homecooked food almost everyday for the family and it is always delicious everytime. His ever so creative recipes always excites us. Everytime he is cooking, I will always want to know what he is cooking so that I can anticipate the taste of it. Although his recipes usually work out, there are times when it does not go to plan. The food might be burnt sometimes but it still taste somewhat nice. Anyway, I am happy to have my own chef to cook good food for me everyday and I hope I don't get fat soon.

Cherries

Cherries are undoubtedly my favourite fruit to eat. Cherries are maroonish, heart-shaped fruits that has a seed and are also sweet and has a slight tinge of sourness that give it the distinctive taste. The thing about cherries that makes it my favourite fruit is that the balance between the sourness and sweetness is just right that the sour taste of the cherries is not too strong or too mild but just right for my liking. Although cherries are my favourite fruit, I only get to eat cherries during certain times in the year, specifically during winter. The cherry season only begins around early January until July and so I have to persevere those five months or so before I get to feast on cherries once again. Furthermore, cherries can only be grown in cold places unlike Malaysia which such a shame. Until then, I guess bananas and watermelons will have to do for me which are not too bad as well.

Open Day

Last Thursday, it was my school's open day. Every year, the school will have 2 open days for the teachers to meet their student's parents to discuss about their children. Usually this is the day where many students will be extremely worried about their parents meeting their teacher and I wasn't an exception. Although I wasn't that worried since I did all of my homeworks and paid attention in class, it's still quite scary considering that my mum took the day off from work just to meet my class teacher. When they arrived at my class, I had a weird tingling feeling in my stomach. When it was their turn to meet my class teacher, I just stood beside them and hoping for the best. Luckily, my class teacher didn't really say anything bad about me. My parents were just having a casually having a chat with my teacher and also having some friendly banter about me. In the end, my parents were pleased at my behaviour but also not pleased about a few of my subjects especially Malay in particular. Hopefully they cut me some slack during the next open day.

Colours V2

On casual Monday morning, Aaron was just sitting down on the couch having his usual cup of earl grey tea accompanied with his freshly made croissant. Suddenly, he thought to himself. "Why is everything around me in black and white? The flowers are grey and all the houses are coloured black and white." When Aaron was born, he was born with a colour vision deficiency which only allowed him to see the world in black and white. It was tough for Aaron, knowing that he will have to see everything in black and white for the rest of his life.

Although his fate was sealed, he still couldn't believe that there was no cure for his illness. And so, it was that moment that Aaron began in his search to find the cure that he ever wished for. Aaron studied intensely about the causes of colour blindness. He started to make theories about the cure and ways to rectify the problem. When it all looked like a dead end to his research, a fellow scientist who had been closely following his research given him a lifeline by inviting him over to the United States to work together to continue the research.

Aaron was ecstatic. He couldn't believe that such an opportunity has appeared right in front of his for the taking. He would accept such an offer but when he asked his parents, his parents immediately strictly objected the invitation. His parents were unhappy about the fact that he neglected his studies just to do research about colour blindness. Aaron was absolutely devasted by his parents' decision. All he could do is oblige with their decision. 
For the next few days, Aaron just looked so down.

His parents were starting to get really worried about  him especially when he is just staying in bed all day long. His parents had a long discussion regarding the invitation. After a heated and long discussion, they finally came to terms and agreed to let Aaron travel to the United States to continue his research. When they were breaking the news to him, they told him that they will be proud of him no matter the outcome of the research and they will always be his pillars of support in his efforts to create a better tomorrow for the unfortunate people such as himself and his parent that suffer from colour blindness.

It was the day. Aaron finally gets to continue in his pursuit to make a better tomorrow. It was a sad but happy sendoff for his parents who are heavy hearted by their son's departure. Five years later, Aaron and his fellow scientist partner have made a scientific breakthrough with unseen technology used in a pair of prototype sunglasses which tweaks the colour spectrum to allow people who are colour blind to be able to see the world in a different perspective with the presence of the uncountable amounts of colours. 

The news of the scientific breakthrough spreaded across the world and eventually the news got to his parents. When the news got to his parents, his parents had a sigh of relief. They were over the moon. They were overjoyed with their son's success. Aaron couldn't be anymore happier when he tried on the pair of prototype sunglasses when he is finally able to see the wonders of the beautiful world, in colour.

Is Ice Lemon Tea Good or Bad?

For many, ice lemon tea is just a normal drink to any other person but for me, it is my favourite drink. When I mean my favourite drink, I mean that I drink ice lemon tea daily. I started to drink ice lemon tea at around the age of 10 and it was then that I found my love for ice lemon tea. The sourness of the drink just tingles my taste buds. I'm always on the hunt to find the perfect ice lemon tea so, every restaurant I go to, I'll order ice lemon tea. My parents keep telling me that too much ice lemon tea is no good for me but so far during the 6 years of drinking it, I haven't really face any complications after drinking ice lemon tea. Some of my friends think that it's kind of weird to have an obsession about a drink but my other friends don't really find it weird because they think it is a normality that people will have their favourite drink. Overall, I don't think ice lemon tea is bad but different people will always have different opinions. 

A Different "Me"

Halfway through the year, I realized that I have changed so much from the start of the year. I realized that I'm more confident speaking and facing people nowadays. I have also been much more sociable with other people, making new friends in the process thanks to me joining Leo. Although being more social is kind of fun, it also comes with a great responsibility which I am willing to take. Those heavy responsibilities also helped out with my time management which used to be such a huge mess. In the end, it won't always be so smooth sailing with many obstacles popping up along the way and so far, I think that I have done a pretty good job in balancing my lifestyle. I just hope that I can cope with everything while having fun in doing so :)

A New Experience

Last Friday, I was privileged enough to be able to attend my school's annual Leo Installation dinner. It was an honour for me to be able to be installed as a Leo and also a part of the board of directors of the school's Leo Club by the guest of honor. It was such a entertaining night with all the exciting activities and captivating performances. It was also very exciting for me as it was the first time that I am being the emcee for an event. The incoming board of directors that includes me, also had a dance performance which we put a lot of time and effort into it. Although the performance didn't really go to plan, we gave it our all and I'm proud of all of the other board of directors. After all of the performances were done, the footloose session began. Mostly everyone were raving away to the music where else, there were a few who were taking pictures together at the registration counter. During the night, I realised that I did so many things that I would have never ever imagined myself doing. I had so much fun with my friends and made new friends and also gained a lot of experience from the dinner. 

Colours

Colours are all around us. In matter of fact, it is visible to all of us no matter where we look. The main purpose for colours are usually only to make an object distinctive but nowadays, creative artists make use of different variants of colours to spice up their drawings or even cultures. Different variants of colours used can also change the tone of the colour which is vital to the detailing of their artwork. The higher amount of detailing of the artwork can give the artwork a story about an experience or about the artist or even a hidden meaning behind the artwork.

There are also many other uses of colours. One of the main uses that we see everyday is in televisions. The three bases of colours, red, blue and yellow, are shone together proportionally to produce the right balance of colours. The amount of light shone is according to the signals received from the satellite. The colours then form a coloured image on the television. When the base colours mix together, they produce secondary colours such as green, orange and so on. Therefore, we should be grateful that there are colours to brighten up our lives.

Other than that, colours can help to stimulate our mood. For instance, the colour red can make us more motivated and more lively whereelse, the colour blue can calm us down and make us relieved. These colours also can also determine our mood. An example being blue which shows that we are under the weather or sick. Other than that, the colour black can show that we are alone or isolated and depressed. Therefore, our lives should have a variety of colours to balance our emotions.

Besides that, colours are also used widely in road signs and also in traffic regarding issues. Striking colours such as red will always stand out to the driver, thus helping to save many lives with just the use of certain colours. Furthermore, the use of the colours red, amber and green in traffic lights are used all around the world. Red, amber and green are the universal signs of stop, slow down and go respectively. Therefore, people who have colour blindness should refrain from driving as they cannot see the colours on the traffic light and are more susceptible to accidents.

In conclusion, colours can open up so many possibilities in our lives.We should be grateful that we have an unimagined amount of colours in our world. Without any variety of colours in our lives, our lives would be very dull and monotone. There also wouldn't be the invention of the coloured television and the coloured computer. Furthermore, artwork in general will all look the same and without any distinctive features. Unlike the modern-day artworks which comes in the abundance of colours, the greyscale artwork will just look unattractive and boring.

The 'wow' factor

What does the 'wow' factor mean? The 'wow' factor is a quality that is extremely impressive or also a certain distinctive quality that makes someone or something special. Unfortunely, I don't have the 'wow' factor but a lot of my friends have. Although I don't have the 'wow' factor, I still live my life normally. Unlike some people, they think they have the 'wow' factor but in reality, they really don't. They put themselves out there in efforts to attract attention. There is no need for such actions. Everyone will always have a hidden 'wow' factor in themselves. It's only whether the person knows how to present their 'wow' factor in the right way. In conclusion, everyone has a ''wow' factor in themselves. Everyone is special in their own way and we should be happy with what we have. Thank you. 

A New Experience

Last Friday, I organized a environmental project for the Leo Club of my school in conjuction with Earth Day. It was a new experience for me as I have never been involved in such a project before. It was a good learning experience as I got to plan out the whole project with the help of my project assistant. Luckily, there were also people who were kind enough to spent an hour and a half helping out with the project. During the project, me and the other members had a lot of fun planting and watering plants. We also learned the actual way to plant a tree. Overall, the project was a success thanks to everyone who have helped out with the project. Other than that, it was a fun and learning experience and I believe it will prove useful for me in the future. Finally, the project was a good way to instill awareness into the members about the importance of our environment and more importantly, nature itself.

The Freedom Writers

During the last week, I got the opportunity to watch 'The Freedom Writers'. This movie is about how this teacher, Mrs. Erin taught her class of students that were fighting to survive everyday out in the streets. As time went on, Mrs. Erin slowly united the students and stepped aside their grudges based on their etchnicity and skin colour by having different activities and events. Her students started to see the bigger picture of the world and got to see the cruel aftermath that almost wiped out a whole race that was caused from stereotyping people. 

One of the activities that has bonded the students together was to write about anything they wished to inside their journal. Most of the students wrote about their uncertain daily lives that could just be ended in a blink of an eye just because of the discrimination of their races and gangs. Other than that, they also wrote about their fallout with their families because they wanted to join a gang on the street. During this activity, the students are able to express their feelings that they have kept within themselves because they have nobody to talk too except their shallow minded 'friends' who are their gang members that only care about their gang and nothing else. This shows that the students want to change but they don't have anyone to help them change until this moment when Mrs. Erin has helped them to change for the better.

A New Friend

This week, my class got a new student from another class named Muhd. Zaki. When he entered the class, everyone was surprised including myself on why he was in my class. Soon, I finally found out why he was in our class. He was sent to my class because he was punished for his atrocious behaviour and also to separate him with his group of friends that act the same way as him. He is going to be in my class for 3 months. My first impression of him was that he was a gangster. He acted and portrayed himself as one and when he socializes with his group of friends, he doesn't care what other people think of him and does whatever he desires. Although the evidence shows it all, in class, he actually behaves well and doesn't disturb the peace of the class because he doesn't have his group of friends to talk to. I don't really talk to him and don't plan to as I feel that to talk to one, you have to act or think like them or else there is no point talking to them. I feel that it is best to just ignore him and keep the peace of the class intact.

A Mysterious Abandoned Building

One day, Aiman was just walking to school with his school bag. He was just dawdling to school as there was still a lot of time. There was a very cheerful vibe to his gait. As he was strolling along the walkway, he spotted a really runned-down building. There was still a signboard on the runned-down building which was written "Fun Amusement Park". Aiman was curious and since he still had emple of time, he wandered into the abandoned building. It was very dark inside. The wooden flooring looked very unstable, the walls of the building was very fragile and could just collapse at anytime. Aiman carefully treaded around the building, avoiding any cracks in the floor. As he gently paced up the stairs, he saw faded crayon drawings on the walls. Inside a room, he found a charm of some sorts in the corner of the room and he kept it in his pocket. Before he knew it, he was going to be late for school. Aiman quickly rushed down the stairs, out the door and started running to school.

Mother Earth

In this modern era, nature is being exploited for mankind's benefits. Year by year, more forests are shrinking, more rivers are polluted and more animals edging ever closer to extinction. All from mankind's irresponsible actions. Luckily, the majority of mankind have realised of this threat to nature and have taken many precautions to make sure that nature doesn't get swallowed by mankind's greed for money. One of their efforts is Earth Day. The first Earth Day was celebrated on the 22th April, 1970. As time passes, more people are more aware of the dangers and joined the movement. Earth Day is now celebrated annually on the 22th of April.

One of the other ways that we, mankind can help to preserve the sanctity of the Earth from pollution and destruction is by preserving our precious resources such as water and electricity when not in use. Other than that, we can help by recycling more items such as paper, plastic and aluminium items to not use more source from nature. Finally, we all should unite to stop illegal deforestation and illegal or inappropriate way of dumping waste products or toxic substances.

Expections

What is the main goal in life? Money? Relationships? Historical achievements? I'm sure everyone has one, if not then you should have one to guide you to your desired future. Anyway, expectations. People usually have a standard that they expect you to achieve no matter how much effort that has been put into the matter which most commonly are parents. Different people have different expectations. Some higher, some lower and some who are just satisfied if you give it your all whatever the result will be. Setting an expectation is a way to motivate people to achieve what they want to be but if you set that expectation a bit too high, it will give a negative impact on the person.

For example, the story about the 15 year old girl whom committed suicide after placing SECOND in class that lately went viral on social media. Let me repeat that, she committed suicide after placing SECOND in her class during her SPM trial examination although she got straight A+ for all of her subjects. SECOND IN CLASS WITH STRAIGHT A+'s. STRAIGHT A+'s. AND SHE COMMITS SUICIDE BECAUSE OF HER FATHER'S OVER-EXPECTATIONS. First of all, she got straight A+'s for her trials. As if A's weren't good enough, her father is still not satisfied with her straight A+'s. What else do you want from her? 100% for every subject? Not even a normal human being is able to do such thing. Just because you made her follow your 'perfect' principle, it doesn't mean she will be perfect. Nobody is perfect and that is fact that will never change.

Beside that, you force them to achieve YOUR goal in life which is to be the best in the field and to make a name for YOURSELF by using your daughters. Everyone should have a right to carve their own future. Parents should give their full support to their daughters/ sons and should give them motivation to achieve their goal and not force them in any way shape or form to selfishly achieve THEIR goals in life. Furthermore, you literally took her life away from her before she did it herself by forcing her to only study and nothing else. Even when she tried to make you happy by baking a cake with her sweat and tears for your birthday, you just told her that she was wasting her time and ordered her to go back studying. What was even worse was you wouldn't even acknoledge your daughter if she did not reach your expectations. By the time you regreted your actions, it was already too late. It took her life to wake you up from your dream. So, all I just want to say is that expectations are the way to go BUT do not set over-expectations as not everyone is able to achieve it. If you do not achieve your expectations or anyone else's expectations, do not give up hope on life but try to improve on it. Life is a long journey that you will encounter ups and downs along the way. So, don't think it's the end of the world if you do not reach expectations from anyone or yourself. I'm sorry if this was a rant but I just had to. Thank you and have a good day :) 

How a week of examinations can turn your life topsy turvy

So, the past week was the first examination for the year. Let's just say it didn't really go too well for me. I guess I really have myself to blame for my results as I kinda burned the midnight oil to finish "studying" just for the sake of it. Pretty much just flipping through the pages of tmy reference book without really understanding it while getting distracted by all the notifications from my phone like right now as I am writing this.

The first examination for the year doesn't really matter to many people whether they do well or not but for me, it is going to decide whether I am going to have to take tuition or not. Safe to say, I'm probably going to have to take add maths tuition based on my atrocious results. The worst part is that not all the papers have been given back to us and it still gives me the dreaded thought that I might flunk another subject. Considering that I didn't really study thoroughly, it wouldn't be surprising if I did flunk any other subjects. My parents are also really worried about my studies, so that doesn't really help my cause. All I guess I can do now is just pray and hope for the best :)

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

So, I'm pretty sure most of you reading this right now don't really know why Valentine's Day or also known as Saint Valentine's Day is called as so. All of us just celebrate Valentine's Day by just going out with our dates or just sobbing at home after being rejected or just normally live our lives.

The real story behind the occasion is about this priest, known as Valentine who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those married, he outlawed marriage for young men. 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, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl who was possibly his jailor’s daughter who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still used today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and most importantly romantic figure. 

Some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial which probably occurred around A.D. 270, while others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. So, I hope that you liked my reiteration of the history of Valentine's Day and have a great day. :D
