Yup, I'm Spending Money on Valentine's Day Again

In 2012, I made the stupid move of actually paying for a harana or a serenade. I seriously planned it out by picking what the singer would perform along with finding out the schedule of the girl I wanted to apologize to (Long story short, it didn't work and she hated me more for it but everyone hates me now so that's nothing new).

Ironically, I found out about this harana project that the UST organization known as Mediartrix does in 2011 when UST was sickeningly filled with people doing grand romantic gestures for girls by giving them flowers and having people serenade them (Obviously, I'm jealous! Dear god, I desperately want someone to like me and do something grand for me. But that's another story entirely. An entirely fictional one). I actually told myself that I would never pay for that because paying people to serenade someone looked desperate but in 2012, I was really desperate to get this girl to forgive me for whatever I did (Shows you the kind of self-esteem I had - really, really low).

Anyway, enough dwelling on the past (I've been dwelling on it in the past year). For some reason, I had friends who I wanted to at least entertain by paying for a friendly serenade. Okay, okay, I know that I'm paying for something that would entirely be meaningless but the one of the reasons why I'm doing this is because it's like undoing what happened last year.

This year, I asked for my friend's schedule, what room would she be in, and if it would be alright if I had her serenaded. Last year, I didn't consider any of those and thought a surprise would be great (IT WASN'T). One more thing that I want to undo was the fact that the girl from last year didn't appreciate what I paid for. This year, when I asked my friend if it was alright for Mediartrix to literally barge in and sing a song, she said it was alright and got her excited. Hey, at least this year, this, whatever this is, would be appreciated.

I still don't know why I have to do it but hey, self-satisfaction. I'll make someone happy, right? ...Right?
