TO SNOG OR NOT TO SNOG

'You Wanna Snog?' 'UHH........'

Snog has one of the smartest marketing tactics in town and it surely knows how to coax the crowds. It is always full even though their natural flavour clearly tastes like ass-cheese. Their Green Tea flavour does not have the slightest hint of the leaf nor does their chocolate tingle any sweetness in me. The only thing which is attractive is their interior whereby the most fantasizing lights draw you in from miles away. Their selection of toppings are sinful but not fresh. However, this isn't an entry on their name alone, their sexual connotation of 'Snogging' is appropriate for this post and I look forward to crushing Snog with the upcoming but highly acclaimed MADD which will be opening on the 20th of February 2011. 

Its already year 2011 and this day has come round the corner once again. It would either be the voluptuous valentines or venomous valentines. Which one is it for you this year? 

Most of the time, friends gather together arranging a 'singles' event while the couples plan their memorable dates. The time of the year when restaurants take advantage and market their 'offers' or 'lovely promotions'. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Perhaps I would be saying something different if I was attached. Hm, would I? Probably not, I would still rant on about how Valentines day is just a hoax and a ridicule since Sir Valentines may well have never had a lover who he wrote to upon his death. 

And here I am watching Bridget Jones Diary 1 & 2 with my heart friends on this supposedly loving day. Now does the label 'LAME' appear above my head? Maybe. If I want it to. 

Yes, it would be great if I had my love one beside me and to make memorable memories but why sulk when friends can provide the joy which we do need. Friends are always there when we are down at our lowest so we shouldn't take them for granted. Valentines day isn't a day to cry about being single....OH who am I kidding. YES, it does suck to be single on Vday and when friends gather together, they are trying to make up for that empty hole which they know won't be filled that day. SO, typical things for us singles to pick and choose from for this exceptional day:

• order sinful cookies n brownies from Midnitecookies.com (their cookies are DIVINE and last orders are from 1am) 
• arrange and create a home lit dinner for close friends and altogether toasting to brilliant singlehood (drunkiness may follow)
• load a movie marathon filled with the sappiest movies (korean movies such as winter sonata is included ONLY once)
• fill a laptop with music videos and ktv out your lungs without a care about your 'nice' neighbour
• take a chance for once in your life and send that special person a valentines greeting> no worries, you would be rather tipsy by now 
• clean out your wardrobe and strut out in the sexiest outfit and party the whole night long with your besties 
•  inject the thought, 'maybe its about time to get a dog...hmmm'
• dont forget about those friends who have their birthdays today, so send them wishes and love on their day (we can be single but not selfish)  
• throw those packs of fags away (GOOD DAY TO GIVE UP) 
• buy those shoes you've been eyeing for 4 months 
• get a large canvas and create something (hmm...really?) 
• finally go out to the Ritz for high tea (it should be empty on vday right?)
• while with your girlfriends, break through couples by walking through them and no 'Sorry' today !
• total camwhore session , why not make new potential dps? 
• dont forget to call your parents and siblings to tell them that you love them (THIS IS SINCERE) 
• get your driving license (and perhaps then drive far far away)
•  propose? (i guess.....)
• serenade with the morning birds (yes by now you may be drunk) 
• bake cookies or make chocs and deliver them to your friends (I feel like this will happen soon enough, I feel like walking out to Sainsbury to buy the ingredients...hmm white choc caramel snacks?) 
• Oh yeah, if you have work today...dont worry, someone will give you a nice surprise today =D 

Hmmm my list ended up to be rather 'cleaner' towards the end which probably means the Vday down syndrome is passing. Love is a funny thing and the perfect couples don't always compliment each other but it is sad to personally admit, True Love is out there somewhere but for now, just work on not getting pricked by those rose thorns.

Note to those who are attached, Selfridges has a GREAT valentines day counter down at where they sell all those chocolates and cards. There are racks of the cutest cards one could get for their love ones. The picture of the green peas above are from a card I purchased for a friend. Yes, it was the wrong occasioned card but it worked as a congratulations card-Somehow. They were two peas in a pod stuck on a card and they are actually magnetic ! HOW CUTE IS THAT! They also have different themed animals and items. EXCEPTIONALLY ADORABLE. So if you (yes, you the guy) are desperately stuck then get one of those cards and you might as well grab those Richart Chocs on the way to the counter. (Want cheaper, ok ok fine Godiva then)
