Choosing a restaurant for Valentine’s Day can be tough. If it’s not fancy enough, your date might think you don’t care; if it’s too fancy, you’ve blown your food budget for the next month. Cooking a meal at home is a simple solution that will keep both your relationship and your pocketbook in good order. These recipes are easy enough for beginning cooks but sophisticated enough for a special occasion, whether it’s a third date or your fifth Valentine’s together. (And they include no fish, garlic or onion that might put a crimp in your plans.) Karleanne Matthews Chief Copy Editor

TO DRINK: WHITE WINE SPRITZER Ingredients: White wine Club soda 1 lime or lemon, sliced

Spritzers may not be popular college drinks, but they’re affordable, easy to make, and surprisingly light and delicious. Plus, the diluted alcohol will keep you from getting too tipsy to enjoy the rest of your night.

Directions:

Mix together two parts of your favorite white wine (if you’re not a wine drinker, try a Riesling or Pinot Grigio) with one part club soda. Pour into a white wine glass or regular tall glass, float a lemon or lime slice on top, and enjoy.

APPETIZER: ARUGULA SALAD Ingredients: Arugula (a handful or two per person) 1/2 1-pint box grape or cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 small lemon Extra virgin olive oil Grated parmesan Pita bread

Directions:

Arugula has long been celebrated as an aphrodisiac, so it’s the perfect start to a Valentine’s Day meal. These spicy greens have a strong flavor, so they don’t need to be paired with much to shine.

Wash arugula and allow to thoroughly dry. In a medium-sized bowl, toss greens with tomatoes and drizzle sparingly with olive oil. Squeeze lemon over the greens (cut side up, to prevent seeds from falling in). Dish onto small plates or bowls and top with grated parmesan. Serve with grilled pita or flatbread.

Defrost or unwrap 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Rub both sides of chicken breasts with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper and rub in seasoning. Spread crumb coating on a separate plate. Lay chicken breasts on coating and flip to coat both sides. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Turn stove to high heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter to a hot skillet. Carefully pour in canola oil until skillet is filled approximately 1/2 inch. Allow oil to heat until tiny bubbles form on the bottom of the pan. Place chicken in skillet. Allow to fry for approximately 3 minutes, flip, and cook another 3 minutes. Drain oil from pan. Transfer chicken to oven and broil for 1-2 minutes. Remove chicken from oven and cover with aluminum foil; allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with a starch (rice, pasta or potatoes) and a green vegetable. Just before eating, squeeze a lemon wedge over the chicken for extra flavor.

Directions:

Brownies: Mix your brownies according to box directions, but replace water with Kahlua. Bake in a shallow baking pan so brownies are no more than 1 inch thick. Once brownies are cool, cut into 1-inch squares.

Inspired by trifle, this dessert combines rich chocolate, creamy pudding, fresh fruit and light whipped cream in layers. I’ve had this dessert with from-scratch brownies, homemade jam and freshly whipped cream. But who has the time? This shortcut version is easy to make and still delicious.

Trifle assembly: You can choose any container, but using a wide-mouth canning jar (pint size) allows you to see all the delicious layers of the dessert – plus, it’s the perfect size to share. Start with a few pieces of brownie in the bottom of your jar. Spread one spoonful of jam over the brownies. Then add a layer of fruit. Add a few spoonfuls of pudding and smooth down. Add one more layer each of brownie, jam, fruit and pudding. Top with whipped cream and garnish with a sprig of mint. Not only will it look nice, you can chew it and instantly be ready for post-dinner romance.

Don’t play it safe: 3 unconventional dates JUDAH L ANDZBERG Staff Writer Sometimes it’s difficult to think of an activity worthy of a date, especially a Valentine’s Day date. But here are some ideas that will make you excited to hang out with your significant other or give you the courage to ask out that person who always smiles at you from across the room in class.

1.

2.

I C E S K AT E AT I C E PA L AC E This is a daytime activity. Because Ice Palace is in the Salt Lake district of Honolulu, it is most accessible by car, though it is possible to take the bus. This is a great date venue because it is very flexible. You can go just the two of you or with a group. You can also go as friends or to make out during your favorite song. Don’t forget to treat your date to hot cocoa or a hot pretzel from the snack bar. Warning: Do not wear a T-shirt. Make sure that you can skate well enough to make it around while watching out for your date. The line between a great date and a hate-filled stare from across the emergency room can only be crossed once.

TA K E A B OAT C RU I S E

Boat cruises leave every few hours from Waikīkī and are run by a few different operators. Some of these operators are Na Hoku II, Waikīkī Rigger, Manu Kai Catamaran and Makani Catamaran. Get there early so you aren’t left watching from shore. For students who are over 21, taking a booze cruise is another option. Be careful that you check with the operator on whether it will be a quiet or a rowdy booze cruise, as this may affect your date experience. Call in early because cruises do get sold out, and Valentine’s Day may be one of the busiest days. Warning: Ask your date first if he or she feels comfortable on the ocean. Some may have phobias, as well as the more common proclivity to motion sickness, that could turn your cruise tickets into a symbol of wasted money and planning. Also, be sure you don’t get too drunk on the booze cruises – Valentine’s day should be a date you want to remember.

G O S H O O T I N G AT T H E G U N R A N G E Thi is also a daytime activity. Take a short bus or bike ride down to This W Waikīkī’s Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, fourth floor. As long a everybody hits the target, it’s a great date and everybody can as g home happy. Guys, don’t be upset if you lose in the shootout. go

Warning: Do not take a hippie, liberal arts grad student or animal rights fanatic to the gun range. Be ready to explain that it was all just a joke and proceed to the very nice Japanese restaurant right across the way.

Romance on a budget: 7 inexpensive Valentine’s date ideas TONIA BOIES Staff Writer

for the movie, pick a mutual favorite and enjoy it in the comfort and quiet of your own home.

Gifts can symbolize just how special one person is to another. But physical gifts can break or grow old – and cost money you don’t have. With a little planning and creativity, you can still plan an unforgettable date instead.

Is there a couple whose company you and your special someone enjoy? If so, make date night a group outing. This could also be the time to introduce those two friends you think are made for each other. Don’t revert to an already-experienced date night. There are tons of ideas for couples to choose from, like paintball, bowling, ice skating or wine tasting.

1.

Hawai‘i is a paradise. A sunset and the sound of waves hitting the shore provide the perfect ambience for a romantic evening on an uncrowded beach. Make it special by preparing a favorite to-go meal for the two of you. Don’t forget to bring dessert.

2. Dinner and a movie might seem cliched, but keep your date guessing about the evening by trying a new restaurant. Go all out and make reservations for two. Reservations are usually free, and the details make all the difference. Consider watching a movie out of your genre preferences and experience something different together. (This option would work as a surprise lunch date, too.)

3.

MICHAEL JUSTA /KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Version two of dinner and a movie is for lovers on a tight budget. Is there a recipe you’ve been dying to try? Make the dish together. When you sit down to eat, play a customized playlist of all your special songs. As

4.

5.

Learning something new together can be exciting. There is less fear of being embarrassed if you both are equally inexperienced in the activity. Lessons for cooking, surfing or dancing are available for various prices throughout the community.

6.

Embrace the arts together by going to see a production in the city. There is something about theater and the arts that can make a normal dinner date seem more exciting. Check out the city’s upcoming productions and purchase tickets online.

7.

Competitive lovers can make any date’s activity interesting by offering up candy or gifts as prizes for victories. Whether you’re playing board games or video games, put up chocolates or other Valentine’s paraphernalia before starting. The winner of each game receives both players’ bets. At the end of the night, bragging rights go to the winner of the most gifts.

The GOOD and bad of Valentine’s Day COMPILED BY JAIMIE K IM Managing Editor For some, Valentine’s Day turns out to be as romantic as the holiday is meant to be – and for others, it just turns out to be a disaster they want to forget. Regardless of the outcome, these usually make for excellent stories to share with friends. Ka Leo has compiled a few such stories of romance for you to sympathize, empathize, swoon or laugh over.

SHINICHI TOYAMA Staff Writer

I never liked being single on Valentine’s–until my first Valentine’s with a now ex-girlfriend. First came the stress. What am I going to buy her? How do I differentiate my plans from every clichĂŠ and “original ideaâ€? out there? At the time, I was in high school and decided to plan out a Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt. I had three gifts, with three roses and three notes. Each was packaged and dispersed in three different lockers, beginning with hers. The idea was for her to receive her ďŹ rst gift with a rose, and then she would read the note explaining the signiďŹ cance of the gift. On the back of the note was a drawing of a locker, with the locker number and combination, which would then lead to the next gift, rose, note and so on. At the end of the day, I saw her for the ďŹ rst time since that morning. We hugged, wished one another a happy Valentine’s Day and thanked each other for the gifts we had exchanged. Only I remember distinctly how she thanked me: “Thanks for the gift.â€? Gift? Did I screw up the order of the notes? Did I write down the wrong numbers? Nope. It turns out she didn’t realize that the drawings on the back of the notes with the locker number and lock combination led to another locker. Now that I’m going to be single yet again on Valentine’s Day, am I going to be sad? I think the right way to describe it would be “stoked!â€?

Lost in translation JAIMIE K IM Managing Editor

?

Last year, when Valentine’s Day approached, I found myself dateless. So, when my lesbian friend wanted me to go on a double date with her, I agreed. Besides, the alternative would have been doing homework.

The caveat: Both girls we were meeting were from Japan. Straight from Japan. I didn’t really sweat it in the beginning. I knew that just because I am a female who likes boys didn’t mean I couldn’t help a friend in need; going on this date meant absolutely nothing on my end. But as the day approached, I wondered how the logistics of the situation would work. What if one of them thought I was there because I was interested in her? How on earth was I going to communicate during the night? In the end, I went because I couldn’t let my friend down. It turned out to be a disaster of a night, at least on my end. Three years of Japanese in high school did absolutely nothing to ease the inability to communicate. And I ended up getting food poisoning from the place where we ate. Silver lining: the next day, a boy asked me how my Valentine’s Day went, and I readily word-vomited the details of my non-date date – and now I’m dating him.

Rebooting relationship M ARK RULONA Contributing Writer We were two months into the most amazing relationship anyone could ever ask for. But in the heat of ďŹ nals week, and a month into our relationship, I decided to check the personal ads on Craigslist. I stopped and laughed for being stupid, and thought that was the end of it. A month later, we had just emerged from a dream-like Christmas break together. The semester was just starting when all hell broke loose. My ďŹ rst mistake was leaving my email account open on her computer. My second mistake was not deleting the Craigslist emails I had been so proud of overcoming. After she discovered them, we broke up. I knew I truly loved her, which was what gave me the strength to admit my mistake and let her go. A few days went by, and I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I immediately made up my mind to ďŹ ght for her and risk everything to get her back. I decided the ďŹ rst step was to let her get everything off her chest. After a few days, things cooled down a bit. Then I took my turn, and decided to let my feelings out. I didn’t hold back in letting her know how sorry I was for being so immature. From then on, I made it a point to stop talking to other girls and take concrete steps to prove I was still the guy she had grown to love. To seal the deal, I bought her a diamond promise ring of her choosing and made a list of promises I knew I could uphold. It’s been less than a month, and already we’re slowly writing the words to what we know will be an epic fairytale. What do I have planned for Valentine’s Day? She’ll ďŹ nd out soon enough!

PATRICIA CARR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

A PRIL WILLIAMS Staff Writer

It’s almost V-Day, and there are several approaches to this holiday that can get you laid – or laid off. So here’s a dos and don’ts list for a successful holiday.

DO remember birth control. Whether it’s pills or a party hat, use it. You don’t want a baby interrupting your fall semester.

DO set your alarm for class on Wednesday. With loving that might go all night, you have to remember that your primary occupation for the time being is that of a student. For those of you with early classes, make sure you’ll be up in time. And it might be a good idea to keep some aspirin and water on your nightstand just in case you have a little too much fun the night before.

DO form a support group.

DON’T

expect your partner to read your mind.

Sometimes, sending subtle hints isn’t enough. And some people may not think Valentine’s Day is important enough to celebrate. Communicate your feelings with your partner so that you don’t find yourselves disagreeing on what has the potential to be a fun night.

DON’T overdo the romance. PDA on V-Day night is to be expected. But don’t overdo it for those who ďŹ nd it uncomfortable to be around, or for those who ďŹ nd it an uncomfortble reminder of their singleness.

For those of you without a signiďŹ cant other to spend the night with, get together with other single friends instead of wallowing.

DON’T forget to call your mom.

DO be romantic.

DON’T get too drunk.

Know that some people will be offended at the sight of romance in any form – but be romantic anyway.

Especially if this is your first date, the last thing you want for the night is to do or say something you’ll regret once you’re sober. Keep the alcohol intake low so that you can make a real connection with the person you’re interested in.

DO remember to iron your clothes. It may seem like a hassle, but taking the extra time to make sure you don’t show up to your date looking rumpled will demonstrate that you care.

DO know what your partner wants. Not everyone wants  owers and chocolates. Taking the time to choose a gift that isn’t expected will leave a lasting impression.

DO remember it’s not about looks. Looks aren’t everything, so try not to stress too much. How you spend the night and share your time with someone will matter more.

Even if you have a special someone, don’t forget to call your mom and tell her how much you love her.

DON’T be afraid to confess. If there’s someone you’ve been interested in, but you have been too afraid to share your feelings, now’s your chance. Even if it doesn’t turn out as you’d hoped, it’ll at least allow you to move on to someone different.

K A LEO T H E

DON’T expect anything . Just because V-Day is typically associated with big surprises from your loved one doesn’t mean you should expect anything. Plus, if your signiďŹ cant other does decide to spring a surprise on you, it’ll have a bigger effect.

The true meaning behind daisies is beauty and innocence. Their cheery nature, however, also makes for a good f lower choice when wanting to express happy sentiments.

Y E L L OW RO S E S While there are a variety of different and potentially opposing meanings behind gifting someone with yellow roses, the commonly held belief is that this color conveys friendship.

LILIES

Roses have long signiďŹ ed passion and love, and red roses are thought to epitomize that by representing true love.

Lilies hold a few meanings, though the common association with the f lower is that of innocence and purity. White lilies in particular represent purity, while orange lilies are thought to represent desire and passion.

Its unique color is often associated with enchantment. If you’ve recently experienced love at ďŹ rst sight, and would ďŹ nally like to communicate these feelings to that someone, use lavender roses to speak for you.

Judging a book by its cover is okay sometimes, and meanings of flowers don’t mean everything. Hydrangeas are thought to represent frigidity and heartlessness, but they’re so pretty you might want to forget that and give them anyway.

Ah, chocolate. The word alone primes the mind for the overwhelming sensory experience of gold-accented, elegant wrappings adorned with delicate bows; intoxicating aromas filled with exotic notes; satisfying snapping sounds of broken-off, bite-sized pieces; smooth textures making contact with the tongue; and ambrosial flavors delivering thousands of smiling taste buds to heaven. So enamored are we with chocolate that this Valentine’s Day, love-struck Americans will spend a whopping $1 billion on chocolate and confections. The average American consumes 12 pounds of the brown stuff each year. Despite widespread consumption, how much do we really know about chocolate?

W H AT I S C H O C O L AT E ? Chocolate is made from beans harvested from the tropical cacao tree, native to Central and South America. Through the process of fermenting and roasting the beans, chocolate liquor is created and separated into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. Different chocolate varieties contain different proportions of the chocolate liquor, as well as added ingredients such as sugar and milk.

MY T H : C H O C O L AT E I S T O O CONVENTIONAL The truth is that chocolate is alive and well. While nay-sayers, like graduate student Lisa Shea, consider chocolate to be “a generic and thoughtless gift,” others remain delighted with it. “I would never turn down chocolate,” said graduate student Amanda AdamsHandy, “no matter who it comes from.” Junior Christine Parke said she values the romantic gesture: “It’s fi ne as long as it comes in a heart-shaped box ... It’s the thought that counts.” MY T H : C H O C O L AT E I S U N H E A LT H Y While most chocolate isn’t going to do wonders for your health, certain varieties can be healthy in small doses. “A Hershey’s Kiss, for example, is a chocolate with about 25 calories, half of which are fat, half sugar,” explained Dr. Anne Shovic, dietetics coordinator and professor of Human Nutrition, Food and Animal Sciences at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. “Dark chocolate, on the other hand, which contains 70 percent or more cocoa content, offers certain limited health benefits. It contains fl avonoids and antioxidants that can be benefi cial to the heart and blood pressure – but only in moderation.”

MY T H : C H O C O L AT E I S A N A P H RO D I S I AC The Aztecs were among the fi rst to believe that chocolate kindles sexual desire. Emperor Montezuma is reported to have ingested profuse amounts to improve his sex life, but modern science disagrees. “The aphrodisiac property of chocolate is not that signifi cant,” said Shovic. “It contains the brain chemical seratonin, but in amounts too small to matter.” So this Valentine’s Day, don’t hope to fi nd your way into your lover’s bedroom with a chocolate box. You’ll have to get there the old-fashioned way.

Your virtual Valentine’s

This Valentine’s Day, as it has been for the 21 years of my life, I do not have a date. Not with a real boy, anyway. Dating sims are a subgenre of simulation games that revolve around the pursuit of romance. But many other games add these romantic elements to the task of saving the world.

akuoki holds the rare distinction of being one of the few pure dating sims to make it out of Japan. You take on the role of Chizuru Yukimura, who finds her destiny entwined with that of the famed Shinsengumi in a battle against demons. It’s a supernaturalhistorical-romance story.

incent Brooks, your hero, must choose between two beautiful women: his longtime girlfriend, Katherine, or Catherine, his mysterious one-night stand. Most of Catherine is devoted to the challenge of climbing a perilous tower that appears in Vincent’s dreams, and to navigating the treacherous waters of Vincent’s love life. Unlike most dating sims, Vincent doesn’t have a harem to choose from: his job is to deepen his relationship with whichever girl he chooses. The girls send you text messages that you need to answer (sometimes they send sexy pictures that Vincent can only view in the privacy of the bathroom), they confront you directly and they (quite literally) haunt your dreams. The game also poses more philosophical relationship questions to you that play into your ultimate romantic destiny.

T

he fabled Shin Megami Tensei brand is what introduced me to the world of dating sims. The three most recent entries in the Persona series – Persona 3, Persona 4, and the updated Persona 3 Portable – are about high school students trying to save the world from great calamity through old-school dungeon crawling, as well as navigating the treacherous waters of school life a la the read-andclick visual novel style.

\

The games push you to befriend a variety of people, but the highlight of these interactions are the selection of beautiful girls (and boys, in Persona 3 Portable) you can date. Persona 4 offers you a choice between a flirtatious teen idol, a karate-loving tomboy and a highmaintenance bad girl, among others. You befriend them through a long sequence of conversations and excursions, win their love and then decide who (or even how many of them) will become your girlfriend.

Most positions aren’t used because of a lack of two things: physical capacity and communication. A social fallacy states the former is more often responsible than the latter. This is not true. Yes, most people cannot perform a standing 69 because of a lack in strength. However, more often than not, most people don’t do 69 at all because of their unwillingness to communicate their desires and fears with their partner(s). So this Valentine’s, talk to your partner and tr y something new – the more comfortable you are, the better the sex will be.

“30 years serving Hawaii and still going strong”

JUSTIN F R ANCISCO Associate Opinions Editor

Stand up: Tr y pushing your partner up against the wall and orally stimulating him or her while standing, rather than the ordinar y foot-of-the -bed style. Switch gears: Use oral sex as an opportunity to change from penetration to stimulation. You can do it from any position, even doggy style. Turn it sideways: Sixty-nine is best served on its side, as opposed to on top. However, don’t neglect the potential to roll from the side-to-side position to top-andbottom positioning. Rolling while maintaining contact, although dangerous, is exhilarating.

Don’t forget the hands: Gently penetrate her using your fingers, or use your hand to stimulate him while focusing on the tip. Remember the entire area: for females, mons pubis, outer and inner, and taint; for males, scrotum and taint. Equipment and extras: Ice cubes are the way to go. The cold sensation created by holding them in your mouth can be breathtaking. Halls or Lifesavers mints will create a tingling sensation when sucked on. What to expect: Smells and sights. Oral sex is one of the best forms of foreplay and can be the only means for some women to climax. So don’t be afraid of going down on your partner; you might learn to love it.

MAN ON TOP So much more than missionary.

Change the angle: Men, rather than the simple back and forth, adjust your hips to penetrate at different angles. Adjust your thrust: Play around with the intensity, rhythm and depth of thrusting. Start with three shallow thrusts (about half your penis) for ever y one deep thrust, but don’t be afraid to var y it. Move your legs: Women, put one or both legs on your partner’s shoulders or turn both legs to one side. Men, each area of the vagina is lined with erogenous parts, so pay attention to all of them. Equipment and extras: Women, place a pillow under your lower back to raise your hips in the air. This will give your partner better access to your G spot. What to expect: S-l-o-w it down. This style of position has the innate and somewhat problematic issue of causing men to ejaculate more quickly than in other positions. This is another reason to vary between shallow and deep thrusting. If you feel like you’re about to climax, stop and go down on your partner instead. It will g y time to settle down,, while give you amping him or her up.

Woman On Top

WOM A N O N T O P Hips and lips.

Sit up: Women, use your knees to help bounce yourself up and down. Vary the speed and motion. Men, rub your partner’s breasts and clitoris. Be careful though, as some women are extremely sensitive, and rubbing the clitoris during penetration can be overstimulating and uncomfortable. It takes two: The partner on bottom can lie back and enjoy the ride, but could also help by raising his or her hips into the air. Use your lips and hands to stimulate other parts of your partner’s body. Rotate: As with before, change the angle. Women, rotate your body so you are facing the side of the bed. You can also rotate your body 180 degrees to perform a reverse cowgirl, introducing opportunities for anal play. Try to move through positions without breaking intercourse. Equipment and extras: If your partner’s clitoris isn’t too sensitive, try a vibrator. Have her lean back and use the vibrator to stimulate her. What to expect: The person on the bottom should try to respond to the upper partner’s hip movements and match motions. Once you ďŹ nd that rhythm, you’re good to go.

FAC I N G Hips to hips. Lift your partner: Men, if you’re sitting facing each other in bed, put your arms under your partner’s thighs, grab her torso and lift her up and down. The wall: A standing position can be achieved even by the lessthan-muscle-bound of us with the help of a wall. Pick your partner up

while she crosses her legs around your torso and use the wall for leverage as you start lifting her. Standing: If you are strong enough, step away from the wall. While her legs are wrapped around you, have her lean back while you thrust. Women, try to lift one leg while your partner braces you against the wall. The counter: Counters, ledges or even chairs can facilitate more manageable variations on standing. The partner on top should be able to ďŹ rmly place his or her feet on the ground, which will allow more control and better angles.

Facing

Equipment and Extras: Grab an exercise ball. Lie on your back while your partner penetrates you while standing. The curvature of the ball arches your back while raising your hips, and the buoyancy of the ball allows for some added thrust. What to expect: Fatigue. These positions require more physical prowess. When you become tired, rest by performing oral sex on each other.

R E A R E N T RY Vaginal or anal. Positions a plenty: Standing, bent over, on all fours and even lying down, this style of sex is positionally proliďŹ c. There is so much more to this style of sex than the simple doggystyle.

Page 17 | Ka Leo | Wednesday, Feb. 8 2012

Men, start by trying to lift one of your partner’s legs or resting it on your shoulder and penetrating from an angle. Try experimenting with some playful ass-slapping and back-scratching – but be sure to check with your partner ďŹ rst. Anal: This is an opportunity for a little anal play – it is right there. The key, as with everything, is communication. Don’t be afraid to talk to your partner about it; anal sex can be a wonderful experience for both partners. Get lower: Whoever’s on bottom, try getting down on your stomach. Because your rear is lower, it spreads your legs more and allows for different sensations. When the penetrator is fully inside, try closing your legs and squeezing your buttocks and pelvic muscles. Get out of bed: Standing affords more power to the penetrator’s legs while the hands are free to push and pull back on the other partner’s hips. If you’re lying across a counter or desk, every now and then, stand all the way up while the penetrator is still inside. This gives him the opportunity to caress the rest of your body, such as your neck, breasts, stomach and clitoris. Yoga: For those familiar with yoga, the downward dog position (it looks like an upside-down V) provides powerful sensations. Spread your legs a little more than you usually would in yoga class. Men, place your hands in the crevice of your partner’s hips and thighs to alleviate stress on his or her shoulders. Equipment and extras: Use a chair and have your partner sit in your lap facing either direction. Be sure to help control the motion of each other’s hips. What to expect: Loudness. The slapping of hips on buttocks creates a clapping sound not suitable for thin residence-hall walls.

Singles’ Awareness Day TREVOR ZAKOV Staff Writer One specific date on the calendar induces countless people to dread and loathe its arrival each year. This day, of course, is Feb. 14, commonly referred to as Valentine’s Day. Thankfully, during this time of year, there is some hope. An increasing number of

people are simply disregarding Valentine’s Day altogether. The number one reason why more and more people ignore Valentine’s Day is simple: people have chosen the less exhausting lifestyle of being single. Society clearly favors couples and discriminates against singles. Government tax breaks, loan applications, pension plans and insurance give preferential treatment to those in relationships. Nonetheless, what single people lack on paper is more than made up for with all the real-world benefits enjoyed exclusively by singles.

Opinions@kaleo.org | Boaz Rosen Editor | Justin Francisco Associate

For many, Feb. 14 is Singles’ Awareness Day. The beautiful thing about Singles’ Awareness Day is that there is zero artificiality attached – no faking it. Singles’ Awareness Day is what you make of it. On Feb. 14, single people often make plans to spend the day together in celebration of their shared status.

Events and volunteer activities are increasingly common on this day. It is hard to think of a more sincere and genuine act than a group of single people volunteering their time at a nursing home or hospital. Some people who are in search of love utilize Singles’ Awareness Day as another opportunity to connect with others who are also looking for love. wing number of Every year, a growing zed that bring events are organized eople, all under together single people, the auspices of it being Feb. 14. ious folks who Fashion-conscious nd a subtle are looking to send message on Feb. 14 may choose to wear green, based on the logicc that ppogreen is the “oppoolor site” of red, the color ay. of Valentine’s Day. eThe strategy be-

hind wearing green is somewhat ambiguous, of course, because it can be seen either as avid support of Singles’ Awareness Day or as an external statement that the person is single and looking. This Feb. 14, it is respectful to allow lovers their day in the spotlight. Yet the real fun and freedom comes for those who are celebrating Singles’ Awareness Day: no strings attached.

Forget Valentine’s Day this year K ARLEANNE MATTHEWS Chief Copy Editor

I’ll admit it: I’ve forgotten my wedding anniversary twice – in two years of marriage. So perhaps it’s no surprise that I don’t care about Valentine’s Day. But even beyond my apparent lack of girlish romanticism, I object to the financial and emotional pressure Valentine’s Day places on couples. Why assign so much meaning to this one day?

HIGH COSTS Simply in financial terms, Valentine’s Day is expensive. According to research done by American Express last Valentine’s Day, couples spend an average of nearly $200 on their plans, almost three times what they would spend on a regular date. Even just sending flowers is pricey:

According to CNN’s reporting last Valentine’s Day, the average price for a dozen long-stemmed roses is $73 around the holiday (compared to $59 the rest of the year). Furthermore, this financial burden isn’t equally distributed between men and women; on average, men spend $151, while women spend $114. And 48 percent of women plan on giving their partners nothing at all for Valentine’s. This suggests that our culture, as a whole, still tends to see Valentine’s Day as an obligation (or opportunity, depending on your perspective) for men to spoil women with expensive gifts and activities. Valentine’s takes up resources that could be better spent on tuition, books and bills – or more romantic activities spread throughout the year. Why is it that on Feb.

d three times 14 you have to spend ve you”? as much to say “I love

H I G H E X P E C TAT I O N S Valentine’s is also so often filled with stress. d FebIn January and dated ruary, we are inundated by advertising and dia entertainment media cthat raise our expectations to unrealistic levels, telling us that an acceptable Valentine’s includes suntring set cruises with string quartets – and that failte ing to make elaborate e plans means we love our partners less. The numerous onper line forums, newspaper zine articles and magazine

specials on Valentine’s romance (even those included in this issue) are further evidence of the anxiety we have of sending the wrong message on Valentine’s. And we’ve probably all known

(or been) that person who expects a grand romantic gesture and gets a drugstore box of chocolates instead – leading to disappointment at best and a giant fight at worst. That’s the problem with Valentine’s: On any other day, picking up your partner’s favorite treat on the way home from work would be considered thoughtful. But marketing and media have so infl ated our society’s expectations of Valentine’s Day that we think Feb. 14 romance has to be better than rest-of-the-year romance. If you and your partner enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day, go ahead. But when every magazine on the shelf is telling you that being in love means spending Valentine’s buying chocolates, planning sexy surprises or filling your apartment knee-deep with rose petals, have the courage to pick up fast food on the way home from work and get started on your midterm papers. You’ve got the whole year to be in love.

It is difficult enough juggling school and work. So why attempt to push a relationship when the feelings aren’t fully there? The number of successful relationships that involve college and work equates to about as many people as can actually juggle. So there was this girl. I’ve known her since I first came to the University of Hawai‘i, but I didn’t become friends with her until this year. Eventually, it became sexual, and I was honest that a relationship would never form between us. For the time, it was exciting, invigorating and long-awaited, but there was never a flame – for either of us.

Relationships, sex and friendships aren’t quantifiable, but contextual. There are too many variables and too many outcomes to formulate “rules” that work for every person because all people and situations are different. But in my experience, if you have a brief tryst with a friend, expect that the dynamic of your friendship will change for better or worse: better if you date him or her, worse if you just stop having sex. But that’s just my experience.

My bloody Valentine Maria Kanai Features Editor Although Valentine’s Day fi rst became popularly celebrated in Great Britain during the 18th century, its origins go much further back, to 278 C.E. Despite its sugary-sweet connotations, the fluffy, romantic day is based on a tragic tale that took place in third-century Rome. According to legend, Emperor Claudius II decided that his soldiers would serve him better if they remained unmarried – and thus without any connections to wives or families – and he decreed that marriage be forbidden for all young men. Saint Valentine, a gutsy Catholic priest, defied the emperor and responded by marrying young lovers in secret. Of course, that’s just one of the stories. Another tale describes

Valentine as a Roman priest who married Christian couples and gave them aid and protection during Claudius’ vicious persecution. In all the circulating stories however, Valentine eventually comes to a bloody end. He was caught for disobedience and sentenced to a beheading. According to one version, he was beaten with clubs, stoned and finally beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. During Valentine’s time in prison, he either befriended or fell in love with his jailor’s daughter, who came to visit him during his confi nement. He wrote her a farewell note before his execution and signed it “From your Valentine,” thus sending the fi rst “valentine” note.
