Another version of the story of Valentino
Well, today's Valentine's Day and Cupid is flying around armed with a bow and a quiver of arrows.. Let's just hope that he won't hurt anyone. =D
Anyway, who's the charming prince who's responsible for this holiday??
After doing some researches I found out that there are lots of legends.. One of the most important ones says that Valentine was a Christian martyr.
I heard of another version which is quite unique (I prefer to call him Valentino):
Valentino was some kinda casanova who had many affairs with the women of a village.
One day the women found out about it and they decided to take revenge. Now all of them thought they'll never fall in love again but after Valentino's execution (that happens when women get angry!) most of them got a proposal because the men admired them for being so strong and taking such an action.
So, everyone was happy.. And if it hadn't been Valentino they wouldn't have grabbed the men's attention on that day. So they called it: Valentine's Day.
The End.
I guess the only thing I like about Valentine's Day are the fireworks in China or Japan.. Plus, the cute Valentine's cards by my friends and schoolmates. Thanks a lot!! =)
Wishing you all a nice day!

to7fa..e da..that's mean and not so logic.At least you should have said: The men were so afraid of being executed, so they surrendered to the women's power.
Besides, it shows how cruel women can be, which by the way isn't true.
Anyways, funny one. Happy Valentine's you too.
Valentine being a Christian martyr is very unlogic too.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the card! =)
I just see this day as an advantage for the florists. It's so unlogic... Really, I would always buy my fiancee/husband presents, but just on that day I would avoid it. It's so stupid to creat days to express your love to your beloved ones. Never mind, to those, who celebrate it: happy belated Valentine's Day:)
Nadia, hope you're fine :)
