8.27pm, Valentines day and I'm at home........yup you guessed it, I'm dateless again! haha!
Yesterday evening I went for dinner and drinks at my Dad's friend's home, such a warm place with such warm people...............they told me that the origins of Valentines day briefly involved Saint Valentine in an age of hardship and torture in ancient Rome.
Now Saint Valentine believed in harmony and love which he did his best to spread but the emperor disapproved and thus had him beheaded!
Today Febuary 14th is all about doing that something extra special with a dash of commercialised nonsense so I've decided to take the time to remember a few people who have played a significant part in my life. I'm sorry If I can't mention all my friends.
First I wanna start by telling the most significant thing to ever happen on Vday for me.....You see a few months ago I was going out with this girl whom I was interested in, things were going well but in recent weeks she stopped returning my calls and smses.
Her excuse: she was busy............and then today I find out that she got attached. Busy still got time to get attached....I shall not comment further, instead I thank you.....although we were just going out as friends....those were some of the better dates I've had!
I had planned this Vday for a certain someone....it's the first time in my life that I actually planned something for Vday. I did a song montage with a voice over as my way of asking her out. I even got a nice gift for her...........but she told me she had other commitments. The feeling.........BANG BALLS!
But I'm totally cool about it, in fact she has been nothing but sincere to me and I am truely gratefull. The above music video is dedicated to you!
So I spent the evening of Vday chatting on MSN with someone whom I'd like to call a special friend. I'm really happy that we get along so well and that we seem to understand each other just by writen text.....it's not even spoken words. I'd also like to dedicate the above music video to you.....WORD FOR WORD! I think YOU are what a woman should be.
Herbie and Stella, you both are a great example of being a couple. Together for 7 years...a real inspiration. My compliments on being able to deal with your little problems with such maturity and understanding.
To my buddies....Sebastian, Kenneth, Francis and Tissa, let's just say I'd call you brothers anyday!
To my big sis Dawn P and my lil sis Denise Lee, I love you both like sisters. Thank you Dawn for taking care of me, and thank you Denise for being so sweet!
Cassie and Sonny, even though our friendship is based on alcohol, it's one of the most HONEST friendships I've had!
Quick mention for Pearlyn and Nurun.....we 3 know what it's llke to face difficulty in life! For us....to be successful in life is to simply be able to manage our problems!
"It's 91.3 with me Elliott Danker, quick happy Valentines day to one and all....hope it's been special for you. The above track is called I'll look after you by The Fray...enjoy and Peace out!"

if you look up Wikepedia.. u'll find full details of Valentine's Day.. I particularly like these lines:
A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day.
The day has come to be associated with a generic platonic greeting of "Happy Valentine's Day."
Some people see Valentine's Day as an opportunity to give to charities and help others.
n Finland, Valentine's Day is called Ystävänpäivä which translates into "Friend's day". As the name says, this day is more about remembering your friends than your loved ones.
