Special Valentine Post.

Since Valentines day is hours away and I got nothing better to do (even though midterm is coming up and  my ass is going to be handed to me when the talent show night of the pageant comes up this sunday.) I will just post a new entry about...... you guessed it Valentines.

Valentines.

It originated from  Saint Valentine of Terni.

 It was said that in Rome, Claudius II, a great Roman emperor,passed a law  to stop all the single men in his army from marrying so as to make them more reliable in defending his borders.

Upon hearing this new law, a priest named Valentine decided to meet with young couples to join them in matrimony. Although in the end, he got caught and was sent to jail.

Now you may think that ends the story but as with all stories it has a twist. It was believed that while Valentines was in jail he fell in love with his jailer's daughter who was believed to be blind  and healed by Valentine. And on the day of his execution it is said that wrote a letter to the girl and signed it "From you valentine".

He became a saint and a martyr because he did not give up his faith when Emperor Claudius offered him freedom in exchange for his faith in the Lord.

And that is a brief history of valentines. You see the far reaching contributions of Christianity to the world.

Oh yeah I forgot one more person to describe. Cupid. I think he came from the Greeks. Too tired to actually search it. So do me a favor and search it for me. Thanks a million.

Lastly, my mom always said that when you write something and you get ideas from someone  else you should credit them for it or else you will go to jail and spend your entire life there. So for fear of going to jail. Here is my Reference:

P.S.: Valentines does not have to mean you have to have a special boy or girl in your life. Valentines day is about Love. And I'm sure all of us have people we love dearly in life. So in a matter of saying we all have our own Valentine.

Happy Valentines Day my _ _ _ _ _!!

Update.....

This is officially the first post of the year...... and its already February.

Well anyway, I'm going to give an update on the state of my life right now.

First the academics.

Well the academics have surprisingly been good. Despite the fact that I have been at my laziest this past few months. I have not been really studious to start this year and all I have been doing is sleep..sleep.. sleep and lets not forget more sleep. I only study when the test is about a day away. And even then I still go facebooking and listening to music for the most part of that study time and only leave about 5-30 minutes to study. Those damn new year resolutions of not procrastinating anymore, and being serious in studying, only apply during the first month of the year and when its already March all bets are off. Even now as I am writing this I have a test tomorrow for Nat Sci or more specifically Chem 1. I should really be studying right now.......

Oh yeah I also have a ton of things to do this month. One report in Filipino, one report in Bus It Lecture. One term paper for English 2 and also a group report/presentation for english 3. The report in filipino has been put off for almost 4 weeks now. I was supposed to report last January but a lot of things came up that postponed it. So as a result I have been carrying the visual aid for my report for the past 4 weeks because you never know when your teacher suddenly asks you to report. But maybe God has a plan for postponing it this long so as to make me more prepared. I hope so. I should really really be studying right now......

Crap... the new pageant is coming up this month too. And the talent show for that  pageant is already fast approaching  and I have not once practiced anything and not thought of anything to present. (Why do pageants have talent shows anyway. I mean we should just go directly to the pageant night so as to not make it more complicated and hard as it already is.) I should be really really really studying right now.......

Love life you ask?

Well It has been good. I met this girl and I.............. think I'm giving up too much information already.


This ends Part 1 of a hopefully 3 part post. I cut this short cause well I really really really really have to study right now.
