A Valentine Activity

Each of us are made to complement each other, may it be through knowledge, emotions and many other. We are like letters in the alphabet that can form a word which in turn, could make a sentence and finally, can relay a message. In contrast to this, others may be easily manipulated and could be like a topographically typed message. Let us face it, people are people. You, I, and many other have flaws in our own life and two of this is not showing our love and not appreciating the person/s who have love us. We sometimes prefer to hide our feelings because we are afraid to be rejected, to be hurt and we thought that we did the right thing but often, this could lead to misinterpretation. I think no one would wish to be sad and that wish of ours to be happy could make others feel worst and be disappointed because with our wish to be happy, we tend to be silent and not express what we feel for that is the only way we feel happy.

As I think of the activity we did last Tuesday, February 13, 2007, I realized that it has been a long time since I wrote a letter to my parents and to my loved ones telling them how much I loved and appreciated them. I was happy for our English teacher gave us the chance to express our gratitude and affection towards the person special to us. Our teacher let us made a letter (an I love you and a Thank you letter) to the person/s we want to say I love you and Thank you. I really see to it that I wrote everything especially my feelings for them. It is very important for us to learn to love and to appreciate each other. Specifically, say everything you want to say, express what you feel and do not wait for the moment to stop before you realize that it was too late to let them feel that they were loved and appreciated. Maybe, it might be too late for you to say I love you and thank you and you may regret not to have done or say that thing.

Our teacher gave us a copy of a song and above it is a poem. The poem was, at first, very deep and you feel that you can’t understand it but as the song continued to play, we were able to get the thought of the poem. Our teacher was also very nice for he further explained to us what the poem really meant and the representation of the objects used in the poem. With the activity, I realized how important it is to say what you feel to the person important to you.
