Why balloons and teddies. Usually here in my country valentines day is all about diamonds and under wear but still there are teddies wearing red clothes at the stores :) Well maybe that's because that we all have an inner child no matter how old we are so teddies make us happy?.. I don't really know that would a teddy make me happy for the valentines day. I'd probably seek for sth more special like a dinner or sth.. By the way your site is super cute! I loved it a lot.

I love your work so much. :) *Steals graphic skills* I don't really associate balloons with love, or Valentines Day at all. Unless if course they are heart shaped or something. But I guess balloons are for "special occasions" as they are used for things like a new baby, weddings, birthdays blah blah blah. IDK. :P My boyfriend actually got me a penguin one year. I preferred that to a teddy bear. :P Pandas are definitely just as cute, if not cuter. But yeah like Georgina said, I think it's because they soft and huggable. xD That sucks CNY falls on Valentines Day. :( Hope early Valentines Day though. :D Hope you and Chewy have a good time. :)

But then again, I think it would be okay for you to carry a balloon around the city in Australia. In Singapore, I am pretty sure everyone will be staring and think you are an idiot. It's sad but true. Anything that's slightly out of the ordinary will be stared at. I still remember the times when I dress up for school. Everyone was turning their heads and whispering/pointing in my direction. I was only wearing stockings with black shorts and a tank. What is so out of ordinary about that? :( Light and fragile love - That's a good one! I didn't thought about it till you mentioned it. About the heart-shaped balloons, I totally agree.

Light and fragile love – That’s a good one! I didn’t thought about it till you mentioned it.

I heard about Chinese New Year being on that day too. James and I were planning to go out, but he would have to go home early because his family would be celebrating CNY that night. Haha, I will definitely let you know next time I purchase something online and am awaiting a package. :) I love that wallpaper you made! Speaking of which, I'm in need for a new one, so I might use it. :D It looks gorgeous! Since Chinese New Year isn't very big in Australia, I think most of the shops will still be open and all the services will be open. :P But there might be CNY celebrations in the city. I can understand why balloons are for parties but as you said, not really for Valentine's. It's a bit strange, but now that they have heart-shaped balloons, it might be a more common custom. You've really thought deeply about it - I think it might be a symbol of how light and fragile love is, and how you can easily let a balloon go. I think because teddy bears are huggable and soft they seem like a nice gift! :) Aw, that’s a shame! I heard about Chinese New Year being on that day too.

I always thought the same thing about balloons. Ever since I was a kid letting go of balloons made me sad and the same thing relates to love, most definitely! I don't know what makes teddy bears so special. I always wondered that too since real bears aren't friendly and would eat you! That wallpaper is adorable!

I would have to guess it's just because it's cute. I would associate anything cute with Valentines, but that may just be me. As for balloons, I don't think they are a part of V-day here. That's interesting that they are used in TV shows that you see. I have no idea why we associate those things with V-day. I would have to guess it’s just because it’s cute.
