The day is finally here. The day that we’ve been looking forward to celebrating since the New Year. The day when dudes spend all their money trying to impress their ladies with all the things they love: chocolates and lovey dovey stuff. The day when these ladies think that they are worth so much for these dudes. The day when the chocolate factories, flower stores, and build-a-bear double their production and rip people off.

We’ve heard of the many cases, like the girl who got acid spilled on her (I don’t know her name), Aberash, who lost both her eyes and a harari woman, who was murdered by her husband.
