This hub is in response to someone who asked about budget friends ways to spend their Valentine's day. I think things have to be clear from the start and that means you start with a clear mind(lolzzz....i know i'm simply dragging this one) but with no doubt that is the key to start something that is hard to define.

Now that your mind is clear and free from any clutter, clutter as in freaking ideas and thoughts or even voices in your head, simply focus on the things you two love doing or would simply love to do again and again OR it could be something from the list of things each of you wanted to do but for some reason or the other didn't do it. Okay there is a CAUTION!! sign here that reads if that thing you or your significant other couldn't do it on their own and the reason being MONEY then dump that idea all together.

Before we go further, i got to relate to you it is so easy to go out with V'day celebrations if you just found someone new, but when the relationship is long enough and by long i'll leave it to you to decide because i don't know how long this one has lasted with you, there a lot of things two people know about each other and that is the part of the relationship you need to look into.

I have dragged it so far only about what this thing is that you wanted to do or your love wanted to do, the reason being it simply creates excitement, the moment its done and on V. Day its even more fun, super, fabulous and simply great now thats point one - sweet, simple and truly special.

So lets say you found that sweet, SIMPLE and special thing to do this easily cuts off that costly dinner or any other heavy no discount outing. Though please don't be a super miser and not go out for dinner at all. Instead order one special item for that person be it something to drink or eat at your place or their place and simply have it delievered at around the time you two will be there.

Troops!! regroup!! we need another check on the list....yeah we got sweet, simple and truly special and saved big time with in house meal and drinks. Okay time to move on to drill #2 and that would be Cheap and EXCITIING. Cheap and exciting simply implies yes its a gift and the best ways i think to get one for somebody is to make something your own self. Oh! come on now even if you have never done anything yourself before its not too late to try it now....that significant other of yours if he/she truly loves you they will like that oh but don't forget its again got to be something they would love to have simply because they wanted something just like IT!!! and the fact you gave it to them its very touching. To be a little bit more discriptive you could decorate your place if thats where you two will be spending the evening, give him/her that special gift you made, order their one special drink/meal and please don't watch a movie at home coz that will remind them why the hell we are watching one at home and not in the theatres. Do take loads of pictures, an attempt to keep memories of such fond moments simply help you imply that maybe you intend to have a lasting relationship and make the best of it.

Finally, its late in the evening or at night so depending on your relationship level there is the INTIMATE time now, so play soothing music or simply burn track you two like and sing to them and slowly get to the climax and actually try karoke between the two of you and have a few good laughs, wait a sec....offcourse you decorated the place just to create the ambience and if your good at kniting or have stuff given to you from your parents, uncles, aunts or grand parents its time to give it now and quietly or bangingly(lolzz) retire into the night.

Phew!! that must be something or what....and all for just one evening or a day. Hey!! if you don't want it late night then simply switch to early morning and retire quietly or bangingly into the afternoon could simply be another exiciting change and sweet suprise.

yours very truely,

Valentine.
