This week has a very important day, which is Valentine's day. So I would like to present about Saint Valentine’s story. I want to show everybody how come of Valentine's day.
In the third century, an emperor named Claudius ruled Rome. Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. But many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. So not many men sighed up. It made Claudius furious. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind to join the army. So he decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel.
At that time Saint Valentine was a priest and married many couples.
Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, he kept on performing marriage ceremonies secretly. One night, he was caught and was thrown in jail and found he will be execute. While he was in the jail, many young people came to the jail to visit him. They threw flowers and notes up to his window to show that they, too, believed in love.
One of these people was the daughter of the prison guard. She visited Saint Valentine and they would sit and talk for hours.
On the day he was to die, he left his note to thank for her friendship and loyalty. He sighed it “Love from your Valentine.” That day was February 14,269 AD. That note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s day.
Now, every year on this day, people remember and think about love and friendship. Many people show that they love each other by sending a card, flowers, and chocolate candies.
Every year on valentine day, I usually got some flowers and chocolate. But this year I do not have a boyfriend anymore, so I was not sure if I would get some. Finally, I got a surprise from one of my friends. (I am sure my friends already knew who he is). He was standing in front of my house at midnight. He called me, told me he is standing in front of my house and got something for me. At first, I do not want to go out because I was going to bed. My look was very bad at that time. But I was very surprised how he found my house and impressed his effort, so I went out. He gave me flowers and a big white dog doll. It was very romantic if my face look better that night.
The next morning, I asked him how he found the way to go to my house. My house is very hard to go because it is very far and the way is very complicated. He told me that he asked my address from my schoolmate. After he got my address he called Bug and asked for a map. Then he and his friend went to my house on Monday to survey. On Tuesday he drove his friend to Thammasat University to surprise his girlfriend and then drove to my house. He said he got to my house at 11.00 p.m. So he has to wait for an hour, until midnight then he called me.
I never got a surprise like this on Valentine's Day. I just got some flowers and chocolate like many people. So this Valentine was very impressive.
Thanks for your flower and the doll. ^^
