| | Is it a crime?! Goodness, this question has been bugging me for days, now. Well, I have actually gotten over it. I just want to blog about it. Here's the thing. What's wrong with not having ever received roses or flowers? Does that make one abnormal or a freak? Okay, I am a freak and I am abnormal but I'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with the flowers thingy.
It was only last month, February (right, the eekish "love month", ugh) that I realized that I have not received roses or flowers. Well, technically, I already received one (a daisy, to be exact) when I was in elementary. Sixth grade, I guess. There was a presentation for the teachers and daisies were used to decorate an area. A classmate (at least, he's a "he") got one and kept playing with it while we were talking to our other classmates. It was dismissal and when he's about to leave, he gave (or left) me the daisy because he does not want to be holding it while walking on the streets. So I just held it and played with it. When our "service" came to fetch us, I just left the poor daisy on the table. Now that I remember, it was Valentine's Day at least. Wait, let me clarify some things. There's nothing "romantic" about him giving me the daisy. He was courting another girl and I have a crush (wee! I had a crush!) on another boy. Friends, okay? Right. Now, it's clear that I have not received a flower INTENDED FOR ME.
So, what? Am I THAT "unpalatable"? Haha. Food! Having given the flower dilemma more thought than it deserves, I have already worked out several hypotheses on why I have not received any.
1. I seem to lose "crushers" between December and February, the ultimate flower-giving-period. Nice timing, huh? Haha....
2. Some Most of them ("crushers" in our place) find me intimidating. Intimidating because of my academic standing, fame (oookay??? in our place) and my being snobbish (I admit) to guys (I'm not a snob when it comes to girls! I love girls!) who have not been PROPERLY introduced. I don't talk to strangers. :)
3. I've made it clear to some people I know that I am not the Flowers-type. Chocolates are okay because I can put them inside my bag or just eat them. Flowers spell HASSLE. Plus, it's an attention grabber in the crowd. I hate it. And I am not into those traditional stuff during V-day. Generally, I want something creative and out of the norms. Unfortunately, only two have been quite creative.
4. I am one of the notorious Valentine's-Day-Haters. Add to this the point the I just hate love matters for myself. Period.
5. Some Most "crushers" were unfaithful, in-a-relationship/coward-rejection-fearing men who live in the same barangay with me and their girlfriends. Good thing I only liked one of them.
6. Nobody liked me ENOUGH. Damn, I always knew that I hate the number six.
Whew! I never thought I could finish this! So what led me to think about it? Hmmm... I think it started last February 14. Elmerei, co-Kalai resident, was holding four roses to give his friends. Then I realized that I haven't even received flowers ever. I was even laughing at the idea when I told him. And he was shocked! He looked at me like I was the poorest creature there ever was and told me, "Kawawa ka naman..." This made the back of my mind freak out! I mean, what the hell?! Me?! Kawawa?! What's so "kawawa" there? *uy, conyo!* Are you required to receive at least one flower before you were seventeen? Is there something like a "quota"? Does this mean there is something utterly wrong with me? And it doesn't help that my motehr asked me whether I received anything last Valentine's Day. She always asks! Of course, I said no. And she's disappointed. Come on! She should be rejoicing! Or at least, relieved! But no. I could see that she was thinking whether something is wrong with her daughter. Poor mother. I am her only daughter. She can't expect girls to give my brothers flowers or anything. Hahahaha!
I guess I'll just go and buy myself a rose. I love me, anyway. Right, I'll just go and buy myself a rose just to shush everyone up and be somehow normal. :)
