With 26 minutes left in this day, I make it in the nick of the time to update
So what is this business, this Valentines Day they speak of? What matter is it to the daily running of humanity? Nothing says I. In Japan, they have an interesting custom on this day - the women give chocolate to men. Only. Women are “supposed” to give giri-choco to men they work around, especially bosses. There’s no meaning to this - it’s just you do it. And then to the man of their dreams, they give honmei-choco. Men just sit back and watch the chocolates roll in. Before you men all immigrate over here for the gratuitous chocolate samples, a month later, on March 14, is White Day. This is when it’s the men’s turn to reciprocate and give gifts back to women. It’s like they invented another consumer spending day
So this year, I told Eri not to get me anything. I don’t want to let a candy replace true feelings of love which this day is supposed to stand for anyway
Eep. This update was quite short but I hope it proves to be educational.
