How do all of you celebrating this important day? I think girls will wish to get these all : roses, chocolate, present, candle light dinner, a romantic aka surprise celebration...sounds good, but the best will be your lover stay forever with you. I wish my BB will be with me for the entire life with love always. *heart you^^* I received the first three things which I mentioned just now last year - roses, chocolate and presentsss! Yay, it's presentSSS..because he bought me two. =P

Now, I'd like to share the history of Valentine's Day and something useful to you all. :D

Valentine lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He didn't like Emperor Claudius, and he wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared his feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. Valentine thought it was preposterous! He certainly wasn't going to support that law!

Valentine was a priest. One of his favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, he kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and himself. They would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.

One night, they did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple he was marrying escaped in time. But Valentine was caught. He was thrown in jail and told that his punishment was death. He tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit him. They threw flowers and notes up to his window. They wanted him to know that they, too, believed in love.

One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit Valentine in the cell. Sometimes they would sit and talk for hours. She helped him to keep his spirits up. She agreed that Valentine did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day he was to die, he left his friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. He signed it, "Love from your Valentine."

The note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day Valentine died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten! 

This is the history which I copied from web. Because of Valentine, here we got the Valentine's Day and be promise to take very good care and love your beloved one, okay? :)

Now I'm going to write these in Chinese, seem that I never write any Chinese post before.
