Actually, sappiness & cheesiness on any day elicits a puke-in-my-mouth rather than a pitter-patter-in-my-heart.
Anything heart-shaped will earn a WTF (unless they're unexpected like this).
Red roses will also make me rather kill myself than get kilig.
I would much prefer this hilarious killer-of-a-flower-arrangement from St. Jo's.
Oh, I'm not completely heartless. I admit these stuffed toy bouquets from @panchporkishbacon made me "Aaawwww".
And don't get me wrong. I looove flowers! I'm not one of those who think it's a waste of money coz they die anyway. I just have high flower standards. Like Petalier's Ecuadorian roses. Actually, it isn't really the type of rose, but more, the classy, elegant arrangement. And I prefer that they're closed...
Rather than in a full bloom. Love the stripes though.
But come to think of it, it isn't that my flower standards are high - they're just unique. I don't want the everyday rose or mum. When tulips weren't so common, they were my fave. But now, I'm a sucker for pretty hydrangeas or white lilies any day.
Sigh... Valentine's Day... The day of cheesy, common clichés is just hard to swallow for someone who requires authenticity and a personal touch. I cannot wait for this excuse-of-a-day-to-be-sappy to end.
Sappy Valentine's Day everyone!
