|| It's Written in the Stars||

I hate to be the one to cast a cloud on the upcoming celebration of overpriced roses, overcrowded Makati restaurants and hastily-bought jewelry that is Valentine's Day, but doesn't it seem that a record number of people around us these days are experiencing acrimony in their relationship. I've lost count of all the people, I know who have either broken up, taken a time out, or are spending more time apart than together over the past year. Moreover, when these people are together, they seem to be reserving the nastiest bits of rage and filth for each other. Lover's quarrels are definitely in the air this Valentine's Day, and it ain't just guilty - pleasure shows like Blind Date or the usual celebrity un-hook ups I'm talking about.

There is angst in the air - a vague but threatening sense of dissatisfaction - and it seems to be affecting relationships. People are no longer hiding their boy - girl, girl - girl or boy - boy disenchantment. They're putting it out there. Something (maybe it's the media!) is telling them 24/7 that "You should expect more", "You shouldn't settle" and "You can have it all". Apparently this creates problems, especially when both boys and girls want to act like grown -up babies.

Who knew that when people say " You're my sun, moon and stars" Nowadays, what they really mean is that. " Your celestial interference is making me want to slash your jugular vein with a letter opener"?



================================================

i remember catching fireflies with you
what happened to love at first
i sing my thoughts for tonight... maybe not tomorrow....
you said you had me at hello
you said you had me at goodbye...
she was all that she dreamed of
what happened to our fireworks tonight

isn't that what you wanted, what your asking for....
