When you see vendors starts displaying and selling this red balloons or roses or bears, you know that it is February already and Valentines is near the corner.
Boyfriends would usually give this to their Girlfriends while she act surprised. Oh please don't get me wrong, I a m not bitter and have nothing against them or that.
I just don't understand the trend going on with girls: they know and is expecting that their boyfriend would buy them something and when they actually did, they have to pretend surprised.
This year's Valentine is a bit different, you can feel that something is bound to happen and that a hint is already felt int he air.
Yes, you still feel that valentine's vibe, however, something bothersome is different this year.
And then, slowly, news of countries shutting down its border are being broadcast. The spread of Corona Virus is so fast that stopping or slowing its growth as well as saving those infected are the main concern.
Death toll is increasing each day, while the medicine to cure or counter the virus is being rushed to find and to produce.
As this is all happening, the fear in me starts to sink in. I have been very curios on the news every day. I've stayed updated on what's new that concerns the virus.
And then news of the pandemic recurring every century starts resurfacing on the internet. All the other beliefs start popping out of nowhere.
And you know, when something big is being exaggerated, paranoia starts to happen.
So, if you ever think that February is still a month of love, it is still is.
But this year, just seems a mixture of joy, worry, fear and all the other emotions you can name.
