Love and Kisses

I find myself this Valentine's Day content and inundated with chocolate, despite being female.

Here in Korea Valentine's Day is a "guys only" event, with the female half of the equation expected to flower love and adoration onto their boys, the boys to bask in the light of female worship, and the singles to sit on the sidelines and wait for their day of glory come April.

Everyone has their day here: Valentine's Day is followed by White Day (March 14), which is when the ladies get pampered. White Day is followed by Black Day (April 14), which is when the singles get to eat cold, black noodles and wallow in the misery that is life as a bachelor or bachelorette.

Apparently being a teacher means that I've been granted immunity from these rules, seeing as I received so much chocolate on Friday that I may soon turn into a truffle, or better yet, a GuyLian Seashell...

As for my plans? Caitlin and I going to book our flights to India (Happy V-Day!), grab some green curry at the ever-amazing Silom, get a manicure and catch the on-screen version of He's Just Not That Into You.

Nothing says "I Love You" like a day of self-centered self-indulgence.
