バレンタインデー title=

アイドルからバレンタインデーチョコをもらった?!

プライマリーズの堀田あゆみちゃんから、人生で初めてもらったバレンタインデーチョコ。嬉しく頂きました。

バレンタインデー title=

そして中身。こんなおいしいチョコは人生で初めて^^;

バレンタインデーは日本では女性から男性にチョコをあげる習慣になっていますが、海外では女性から男性に、男性から女性にチョコだけではなく、花束や、宝石をあげる習慣になっています。

皆さんはチョコをもらったり、あげたりしていますか?

    Valentine's Day hasn't hit the States yet (except on the East Coast I guess), but I won't be doing anything. I have no girlfriend and no girl in mind...

    I'll be "ronery but not in McDonald's. Somehow 2D girls just don't cut it for me. Oh well, It gets easier after the third year of being single and by the sixth you forgot all about it

    So ronery.. ;_;

    Though here in Brazil, Valentine's day is actually called "lovers day".
    As in girlfriend/boyfriend day.
    As in, the only ones exchanging presents (and it's not obligatory choco), are real girlfriends and boyfriends.... husbands and wives usually too.

    As in, if Ayumi-chan gave choco to Danny here in Brazil, he's be sleeping with the dogs by now, if you know what I mean.

    Valentine's doesn't seem to be a big deal here in Taibei. I think there's one restaurant in the night market offering free chicken soup to couples or something to that effect.

    Oh la la Danny-o, that musta made your day. I can almost see you grinnin thru your stormtrooper helmet. I luv getting stuff from girls; the evil stare from my gf afterwards, no so much.

    I learned awhile back that in Japan, women give chocolates to guys who they admire in some fashion for Valentines. I think we should adopt that here! Me and my miss will be spending a special night together. Don't wait up.

    Oh, and on White Day dude. Make sure your wife's chocolate box is MUCH BIGGER than Ayumi's. Trust. ;-)

    I'm sure many would kill to be in your shoes Danny, receiving chocolates from an idol and what not. Over here in North America, we don't have White Day, and Valentines Day is usually the other way around, where the guy gives something to the girl. But that is slowly changing in recent years as gender roles are slowly reversing. In my opinion, Valentines Day is a bit overrated, guys like me don't really care. I mean if you're in love, who gives a damn what day it is. Anyway, I'll be taking my girl out tonight to see a show, followed by dinner, and then a night hotel (too bad no love hotels in Canada)...that ought to satisfy her for awhile. Word of advice, 3D girlfriends are expensive -__-, 2D girls are not.

    I remember getting valentine cards in grade school, but pretty much everyone gave them out to everyone. It got kind of confusing, because you had to sort out the obligatory cards from the 'other' cards. Though I was shy then, so it really didn't matter. Now, I'm not as shy, but I don't get any valentines!

    My valentine just ruined by a news of a moslem faction in Indonesia who says that celebrating valentine's day is haram (dunno the english world) because the celebration always involves parties and getting drunk.

    I mean WTF? No disrespect to all the moslem out there, I just hate that particular faction (or any other) that just being ignorant in grant scheme of things and try to look good in front of the un educated masses

    My comments got eaten up!!

    To add on to the previous one which was "eaten", since I'm working night shift for valentine's day, I guess that would take my mind off the ronerliness?

    Valentine's Day here is mainly the guy burning his wallet to shower the girl with love (not bukkake though)... prefer the Japanese's version though..

    Valentine day here, men give flowers (usually rose) to women. But some women also give chocolates to men.
    Today in my school, there was full of flowers and heart stickers. Everyone looked very enjoyed. I also enjoyed looking all of them. Well, I got some heart stickers too but I chose ronery because those aren't what I've wanted and they weren't sent from who I wanted. In fact, They're men who have to send rose to women so I can't complain...
    Wish Valentine here were same as in Japan...

    You don't have an option for nothing given and received but not ronery. heheh! I don't spend valentines day and my gf doesn't mind. I don't find valentines day anything special that's all. ^^ So yeah. heheh. Some people just seems to make such a big deal out of it when you can do the same any day of the year.

    Well it isn't a real tradition in Germany, but it has become more usual than 5 years ago. Have seen a few couples with roses today one had a red balloon shaped like a hearth.

    Yeah, ronry on here as well. Having a few mates 'round to watch said premiere, eat pizza and sink stubbies probably doesn't count as "not ronry".

    Well, at my work one of the partners gave everyone some sweets (cookies, cupcakes, candies). They were very nice. In Belarus Valentine's Day began after Soviet Union collapsed, though not as much. However we had March 8 which is a Women's Day where guy gives all women flowers and chocolate. Similar thing was done on February 23, which is Military Day. Traditionally women would give men something.

    But chocolate is always a good aid for that. Though in germany it's pretty much like in the U.S. ... only couples and married people exchange chocolate and flowers. Depending on the welath of the people it even goes up to very expensive jewelery put into some kind of chocolate and so on... ^o^

    Living in a Chinese Canadian family, it's common to give and receive boxes of chocolate in holidays. The thing is, nobody opens them, and the same box you receive from your relatives or family friends, you give back to them on another holiday :P. There's a sealed never-before-opened box of swiss choco in my cupboard thats been going around for at least ten years now. Probably crawling with maggots...

    Dannychoo :'( Danny! I am so jealous of you, you have met two beautiful girls who are not any girls ¡are idols! and also you get a gift of chocolate in St. Valentine from one of theme, lucky that yours. Well, I will dress of a character of Naruto ninja or something like that and will start to walk the streets and see if I run the same fate as you ;).

    About St. Valentine..
    I come from Venezuela, but I moved to Spain years ago already, and usually in the West is the same, a date, some flowers or a love letter, some chocolate bonbons, a surprise or a personalized gift to be more original, at the bottom is the intention that counts.

    In some colleges, institutes, and so on. It's more fun, there are games organized by the same but each person individually or acting on their own.

    Well, nothing more to tell by now, you have luck Danny and greet Hector (Kirai), already knew that both founded a company, I hope you read my comment (posted in a old post of you :S ).
    *PD:Sorry about my english, i have to use the google translator :S, since i came to spain i forgot everithing. Sayounara!

    Valentines was excruciating for me. Never thought that just giving an oversized bouquet of flowers and some chocolate would make a girl cry. It was my first time too and thus the utter shock that gripped me for the rest of the day...

    Turns out that when she received the flowers, she was stifling a yawn...hence the tears.

    Anyway much to my surprise I received a gift from her the very next day, a heart shaped cheese cake...

    Hehehe. My first and I'm feeling so happy.

    Wow, that´s what I call Valentine in Japan. In Sweden, we, the family and myself, give each other an valentine present some times. By the way, for talk about it, what is an idol person? All I know about is Utada Hikaru and Aki Maeda.

    On Vday boys give girls (only the ones you realy like) chocolate. I would prefer the Japanese version though.

    BTW you are lucky, Danny

    I'd rather have something else on Valentine's besides chocolates. It causes pimples & ruins the figure. I'd rather have my boyfriend, who is far away now, beside me. Believe me, being with the one you love on Valentine's or any other day is better than a box of chocolates. :)
