Everyone knows that it doesn’t really matter how expensive one spends on Valentines Day – well – yes, we know but it doesn’t keep us from hoping does it? If you just happen to be rich or have been saving for this day your entire life, here are 7 most expensive ways to splurge your Valentines Day on.

1. Take your honey to Paris! Where better to spend you Valentines Day than in the most romantic city in the world?
Visit the Le Louvre, look down on every one from the Eifel Tower, go to Champs Elysees or Sacre Coeur, see Notre Dame for yourself and then head to the Arc de Triumphe, have fun in Euro Disney. In Paris, you’ll never run out of places to go to. Oh, and did I mention, I want to be your girlfriend? ^^

2. For those who have been together for so long, why not buy your dearest love a diamond journey pendant? That long pendant with graduating diamonds? Oh who could resist that? With a price range of $500 -$10,000, that must be one very expensive Valentines day.

3. Get married in the Vatican City. Is that even allowed? Have the Pope marry you! Sweet – but – oh – impossible? Not quite. There’s a picture of the Pope and a wedded couple so I’m sure it’s possible. This is probably included in this list because going to the Vatican, is already quite expensive. Oh, but I’m sure you can afford.

4. Propose to her. What better way to spend Valentines than have your girlfriend become your fiance? I’m sure you can afford the $6,400,000 Harry Winston Pink Diamond Ring which tops the J.M Trippon & Co Valentines List of this year.

5. Why not spend the day in the Mansion at the MGM Grand? At $5,000 for just the room, I’m sure you’d call that splurging already. Oh, by the way, did I mention that the $5000 doesn’t include food, drinks and whatever should be included? Yeah, expensive. Oh, but I’m sure it’ll be a sweet night.

6. If the last 5 ideas don’t seem expensive enough, well, why not try Breaking Dawn’s Esme Island? I’m kidding, sorry, for Vampires only. How about a private island in Phuket though? Beautiful Thailand. I’m sure you wouldn’t mind splurging on the $23 million island for the love of your life.

7. On the other hand, if you’re not really feeling sharing a plane on your way to Paris or Phuket, then you should definitely add a Bombardier Global Express XRS executive jet! Oh of course, who wouldn’t love a private jet?

Did I say I want to be your wife? Well, I’d love to. We should get married at the Vatican soon right after you hand me Harry Winston’s Pink Diamond Ring. Then maybe we could have a honeymoon at Phuket and then spend a few weeks at Paris. Then maybe live in MGM Mansion. My birthday’s in March so you can give me the jet then. When we’re old and dying you can give me a journey necklace. Oh we’re going to have such a fun life!

Well, it doesn’t hurt to dream does it?
Happy Valentines Day guys! (nearly anyway)

It’s almost Valentines Day and everyone’s rushing around trying to think of ways to impress their girlfriends or boyfriends or intimate partners with their gifts. It’s another busy month at the mall, looking for the cutest teddy bear, sweetest chocolate, most expensive flowers. But is it the price tag that really matters?
No matter if you spent $300 or $30, it won’t really matter as long as the gift has really been thought out and you and your loved one is together on Valentines Day. Here are some 7 tips to make your Valentines Day sweet but affordable.

1. If you and your honey still has school or work the day of, why not take the time to pick her up there? Even by just dressing up nicely, bringing her just a single rose and treating her to a neck massage would really be romantic already.
2. Cook for him/her. Make a surprise dinner at his/her house. Make everything your partner loves and make sure your cooking is sprinkled with love. Light up a few candles and get Paul McCartney to sing (the CD, not the real guy). This kind of Valentines Day for anyone would surely touch their hearts.
3. Write a set of letters and 7 days before February 14. Make them short, sweet and simple and anonymous. Then on February 14, surprise her with a huge home-made Valentines Card. It’s sweet and very thoughtful. Plus you have no other expenses aside from paper.
4. If she or he has work the whole day, keep small, simple gifts coming every 2 hours or so. A rose, a candy, a cupcake, a scented candle, a small teddy bear. Whatever it is. Cute and very thoughtful.
5. Sing for him or her. Or better yet, compose your own song and sing it after you’ve eaten dinner. It doesn’t really matter if you have a good voice. As long as the song is from you, it would really be sweet.
6. Make a video or picture video of your pictures and show it to your partner on the day of. Instead of the cheesy romantic movies you watch every year, watch a movie of the times you spent together, ups and downs and appreciate how important you both are to each other.
7. Last but not the least, spend the whole day together. Doesn’t really matter what you’re doing as long as you’re doing it together. Clean the house (or maybe not), go for a ride down the street, walk along the beach, go to an amusement park. Just as long as you’re together and that’s probably enough to make any one’s day.

Remember, it doesn’t really matter if it costs $300 and above as long as these gifts come from the heart, you’ll surely win her heart again.

I don’t believe in love at first sight. I mean, how pathetic are you? Falling for a person you don’t even know. What if the person was everything you don’t like? Then there’s the “beautiful” category. Would you even fall for someone who wasn’t physically attractive at first sight? Or would you even look at someone who wasn’t pleasing to your eyes? How pathetic are you?

Of course, I didn’t believe in any of that. I always thought you had to know someone to actually love them. Until last night. And no, genius, I didn’t see someone and, my heart started to pound, falling for them at first sight. Unfortunately, I was doing this transcription assignment for one of my employers and I learned that love at first sight was actually possible – scientifically. Todd Murphy was talking on Coast to Coast to George Noory and they were onto something about reincarnation and the amygdala and all that stuff. I’ve been listening to Todd Murphy about a few days now and he’s really cool. Todd Murphy is a neuro-scientist or whatever and he deals with the brain.

Anyhow, love at first sight is possible. When you see this person, your system reacts. Let’s forget first and foremost about beauty issues and all that. You can’t control it. It’s your system that’s reacting and no matter what, you can’t help that. It happens when one’s brain starts to emanate magnetic signals to the other. You recognize a kindred spirit, someone who has the same level of consciousness as you do.

This is the same as a woman’s instinct when walking down a dark alley. She keeps her head down, doesn’t stare the guy in the eye and walks fast. She gets home safe. That’s because she followed her instincts, another thing which Todd also mentioned. One of our mistakes sometimes is following our thoughts, our being biased to an opinion whereas, right there in the middle of everything, there’s an instant, immediate truth that we can decipher if we only listened.

Todd also mentioned falling for someone who wasn’t particularly attractive for others but had him enchanted. This means that although he had opinions and thoughts, his system reacted to something he could not control. This also happened, because Todd is trained in meditation and knows how to interpret and listen to his inner being. Whereas, us, the ordinary human beings of today and the sadly pathetic people, we don’t listen to this “inner being”.

The point is love at first sight is possible – scientifically. I guess what I’m saying is, there’s no reason to give up on love yet – for those who’ve had enough and are going emo. It’s built in our system, in our brains and they will recognize the perfect person for us – if only we’d let it.

Love is a beautiful thing. Not that I’ve experienced it first hand. I may be a little emo myself, and a little doubtful. But underneath it all, there’s still that lingering hope that one day, I would find love. I know it’s what will save me.
Some time ago, say, 8 months ago, I thought I was in love. I really did. The guy I was in a relationship with, let’s name him A, had been my friend for more than 2 years. We had a special connection already since then, M.U as they call it. Although we dated other people, at the end of the day, it would be just the 2 of us. So when we finally became a couple, everyone thought we’d last.

I guess fairy tales are really just for children. All these time, I’ve never been able to tell what love really is. I don’t know how to tell love from infatuation or love from puppy love.

It lasted until about a few days. All the bliss, all the sweetness. Then in about a few months, it was totally over.

It was the greatest pain I had ever felt. Out of all other relationships.
I became emo, I became a bit bitter. Well, I may have underestimated a bit. Okay I understated a LOT. Anyway, that was the only and first time I felt that way.
Was it love? Maybe it was.
Up to now, 8 months later, no one has ever really taken his place. He’ll still be my soulmate and the person I always used to run to when I had problems. I still get weak when I see him or when I talk to him.

But underneath it all, I’m okay. I’ve moved on and although he’ll always be a part of me, he’s not my all anymore.

A friend of mine asked, “how did you do it?”

How did I survive everything? Getting through my emo days? Going through the rough break up? Getting over the days that I could run to him and he’d just hold my hand and I’d be okay? Moving on from seeing his smile? Moving on from all those happy memories? Not to mention, all the things he did that hurt both our relationship and me?

I think back and maybe I haven’t really been fully healed yet. But surely, there was something that got me through.

It was that courage beyond my love for him that got me through. Yeah. I know. Sappy. (I’m not really the romantic person to say that, and it kind of makes me want to vomit just reading this)

But I mean it. I really do.

Although he was the one that hurt me and did most of the leaving, believe it or not, I think he was also the one that gave me the courage to move on. The dying love we had lingering between us, was what had given me the courage to move on. I can’t really explain it. We never had any real closure but still, the experience he had given me had made me grow. It helped me to become a better person. Him leaving had helped me realize that maybe, somewhere out there was a person who would help me learn to love in a better way. Someone who would love me in a much much better way than he did. Whenever I look back on it, it’s what has got me through everything. Being that weak person has taught me to be stronger for myself. Being that person has given me a lot of respect for myself. And after all that pain? I gave myself credit for it.

In the end, it’s not only the urge to move on that will help you get over everything, but the courage to accept what has happened and let it be a lesson learned that will one day heal the pain and help you realize that your heart doesn’t break easily but sometimes, it will move on.
In the end, you move on not because of the break up, but because you’ve finally accepted that it’s not meant to be.

In the end, the dying love isn’t meant to be treated as love gone, but instead the beginning of a new and better love.
