CONFESSION TIME!:)

Ever since I have indulged myself in anime and manga, I’ve had this wish that the Japanese custom of giving honmei chocolates on Valentines day is also done in my home country. It’s different because the chocolates are given by the girls, not the guys, and are more or less homemade (those who aren’t gifted in cooking will surrender and buy chocolates from stores, according to my expertise in anime and manga hoho >:D But, also according to my fabulousmax expertise in manga and anime, the girls at least try to make homemade ones before surrendering =P). The guys will have the chance to reciprocate the gifts a month later, on March 14, also known as the White Day. This concept of giving the girls freedom to confess… I love it! I’ve always wanted that freedom. However, the society I live in has decided that males have the right to woo whom they like and the girls are only left with the choice to accept the confession or not. If the girls, perchance, make obvious attempts in flirting with guys, then they are labelled as sluts. I’m not innocent in the labeling part though, I am part of society, and maybe I’m just bitter because they have the guts and the confidence to do so. 

I also want the experience of making homemade chocolates for someone I like albeit my obvious lack of cooking skills, but I always wonder what it feels to make something for someone you love, guessing wildly if he’ll even taste it or chuck it away or donate it to the needy masses. The thrill emanating with worry will surely be priceless. You know what? I also approve of how confessions are made in Japan. Both genders can do it and there’s no need to be flashy—sincere emotions are all that is needed. The gender equality part is important. (I am such a hypocrite sometimes. I try to change.)

The song is A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, and honestly has no connection to my confession. I just love the song.♥ But I do feel as if I’ve already waited a thousand years.
