I went to the supermarket to get some fried chicken for dinner tonight. Before I reached the kitchen counter. There was this floral section and buckets were placed in the middle of the aisle. Only a handful bunches of flowers were sitting in the buckets. And a crowd of men (and I am not exaggerating... maybe 4 or 5 or them) were huddling around the buckets to pick out the leftover flowers. I dunno what exactly I was thinking. I found it funny though, but at the same time I felt sorry for them. Why do we have a Valentine's day anyway? And why are men expected to deliver gifts and flowers on this day? Is this a marketing scam after all? Or we, men, are just so pathetic that we can't treat our women as if everyday were a Valentine's day and have to fight for the leftover flowers on a special day like today?
Of course, I don't have the privilege to have to think of a Valentine's day gift this year. But I did prepare a little something for all my female colleagues at work today. A glass candle holder with Hershey kisses and little paper stars. I am glad they liked the gifts. :)

Oh wow!!! That's very thoughtful of you! I wish I work with you too :)
I had similar experience as you - I will put that on my blog.
Happy Valentine's!
Happy Valentine's to you too.
Of course it's a marketing scam! Maybe it didn't start out as one, but it surely has truned into one by the like of Hallmark and De Beaes!
It's human nature to exploit. And the sad thing is we are so good at it.
Ppl should buy my cards. I am not a scam.
