I presumed all of us would have heard of St Valentines and the legends that has been passed from one generation to the next generation via emails , hallmark cards , school projects, songs and movies.
and on how being a muslim..one should not be celebrating Valentines Day because its named after a Christian martyrs bla bla bla... hmmm how does one look at this in a very objective manner?
do you need that one special day to express your love to some one...or any other day would have been ok as well?
why do we have breast cancer day? or mothers day?
indeed one cannot help it but to feel extremely touched when one receives a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates on V Day but the fact remains , its getting very commercialised and whats worst you cannot stop commercialism from happening and encroaching into our live ..just like having fathers day and neneks and atuks day.
I know that my mom was so touched when I took her out for mothers day or do something special for her ( on that day itself not a day before or after ) and yet I grumble that it has become so commercialised that i get turned off from doing it
so ... why should i be upset for spending extra money for that one person that I love so dearly just because it will cost me 100% more than any given day? how do i measure her love for me? if i can afford it whats the difference if i get her a gift on mothers day or on a normal day?
i know what my dad will say.." its the principle behind it..if i love some one i dont need to wait for that one day to get her flowers!"...so why dont I see my dad get my mom flowers on the other 364 days?

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
