well,...i would if i was crazy in love with somebody i dont think i am now so,i dont celebrate. Catholics(i am one) believe that there is a "saint valentine" and on that day they ask him to pray for them. i dont...i am a rebel..no more "yes girl"
....the last time i did i got so embarassed. i have somehow perfected the theory now and wouldn mind some practicals.........
Maria, Don't you worry, one day you will find yourself awe-struck in love (you know that heart with an arrow going thru, yes that one!) But I guess you can celebrate Valentine with a loved one like mum, dad, bro, sis... not necessarily with... somebody.

do you Sajini?
Sajini, Do you celebrate?
...As for me, I do but I remember one that I was in the village and I had to depend on nature to come to my rescue. I plucked a flower from the bushes, went and whispered at the girl's gate, she came out and she was speechless! She started drawing the maps of Kenya, Uganda, Tz, Africa, Japan.... on the ground using her toes.... who's hearing/feeling me here?
Hey Guys,if i were to celebrate valentine,i would go for the "coolest" idea i have been thinking of:exchanging real{natural} rose stems with ma better half n we plant them n as we watch them grow it will be a sign of how our love is also growing.kana tiguo

Ngunjiri, Maria, I have never celebrated it. I think it is wrong to do so
oh Sajini, it you had to say that. why are you so "i do not do this......i do not believe in this....i cant....i dont like..." come on,loosen up. you dont know what your missing, cuz if u did,you wouldnt say that. How about we pair up for this season i like your Negativity Sajini. but sometimes...its just to negative.
Ngujiriri, thats a nice one. sweet too. if a guy (good looking) did that for me, i'd draw all countries in the world,like ur girl. thats for sure. you must be "something"

Courier, you got that big a heart? you can love that much!!!??? i mean, you actually are that romantic? (not that i think you're not) but... i never knew men had feelings too.
Papa Daad, that is so sweet, planting trees..so, do your children think that they will grow as tall as the trees? you know kids..
Well Maria, Eternal pessimist, eternal cynist, eternal sceptic, call me anything, and I will accept. It is who I am, and I cannot change it. It is just hard for me to trust anyone, apart from my mom of course!
Interesting though, fate will never leave us alone. I now have a red rose in my office, I do not want to offend the person who gave it to me, but it is making ne nervous. Hopefully, nobody will come into my office in teh next three hours

I actually did celebrate albeit quitely not with the pomp that was evident in the streets of Nairobi.One thing I must say the flower thing is a creation of television,our socialisation did not make us appreciate flowers like the Odieros do.We only know flowers for two occassions,weddings and funerals.So in short i didnt buy Her a rose.

its true sajini,this flower thing to me has no meaning,sajini i once trusted smone very long time ago but she went wit smone on this fateful day they call valentine.seeing pple carrying those flowers erritates,infact a friend of mine brought it to me jana bt i could not touch it,no wonder i had a very bad day yesterday.
For those lk kihia who told me he had gone for night out with ....niseme jus keep it up
It is fruitless to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative maneuvers.
Wangu, Oh am so sorry if that incident haunts you todate to the extent you resent flowers that much. I must admit too that I really do not care about the flowers bit (neither does my spice-lucky me) for that's not how we were brought up. Pomp and color - nooo! Cheer up my guy! We have only one life to live, no rehearsals, this is the real thing ma boy! (nguhope ndunakiinikiriria ruhia muno hwa-ini gathee)

Now thats what i want to hear. we have a winner!!! how full is "full"? hmmmm
Maria, Have you done something and you look at it (or back) and say to yourself, "that's a job well done"? That's me and my teenage life. I cannot say, given another chance, I would do it this other way... you get the drift?
