Valentine is that special time of the year that you can literally see and feel love ❤ in the air. It's the way couples always plan towards celebrating valentine in a unique way that fascinates me. The line up of events for that day makes that day extra special. All the buzz from vendors few weeks or a month to that day advertising their products for people to buy and gift their partners adds its own flavor to that day. Then the signature touch of red and white as dress code for lovers on that day makes it so colorful 😍. Indeed Valentine is a memorable time of the year.
Single pringles like me 😀 usually go on solo dates alone on that day, normally I just go to any fancy restaurant eat, take pictures and after filling my eyes watching the display of love from lovers around, I go home and off I go to bed reminiscing on all the beautiful things I saw that day.
Two years ago this my routine changed, as I was invited by a friend for an annual valentine's day conference titled "True Love Relationship Conference". This conference is organized by a marriage counselor and relationship coach who is popularly called the "love doctor". During this program speakers are usually invited from within and outside the country such as seasoned relationship coaches, family therapists, marriage counselors, sex therapists and a host of others who are invited to come and share their wealth of knowledge based on the theme of the programme with the audience.
It is usually a two (2) days conference. It usually holds on the 13th and 14th of February, with Valentine day been the grand finale. On this day there is usually a raffle draw towards the end of the conference as gift prizes are usually won ranging from Cars, Fans, Air conditioners, Blenders, Phones, Washing Machines, Televisions, and lots of other prizes.
Tickets containing different numbers boldly written on them are usually distributed by the ushers on the first and second day of the conference to all participants in attendance. On the last day, a wheel containing all the tickets is spinned and tickets are picked at random. The ticket number of the ticket picked is usually called out and the participant with that ticket number wins a gift.
The joy one feels when their ticket number is called as a winner of any of the gift is so enormous, you would see people screaming, jumping, jubilitating and just being happy 😀. It's usually a sight to beholdiv>
Last year, precisely on Valentine's day which was the last day of the conference, luck shone on me as I emerged one of the lucky winners of a standing fan during the raffle draw. When my ticket number was mentioned, it took me some time before I could process that I was the one with that number, to say I was surprised was an understatement, I was stunned 😀, when i finally realized myself I was just grinning 😀 so wide. The joy and excitement I felt couldn't be explained, my friend who invited me was screaming in excitement in the background while I walked to the stage to receive my gift. It was a memorable Valentine's day for me which I wouldn't forget in a hurry. To think that the fan is still serving me till today is amazing.
This is my best Valentine experience I have ever had and i'm looking forward to more memorable ones subsequently.
