A ‘ Red, Red Rose’

by Robert Burns

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie, That’s sweetly play’d in tune.

Bahrain:

As fair art thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run.

The Red Month

I

d in Spread some re your life!

t’s that time of the year when everything turns red and rosy.

This rich and beautiful colour has always been used synonymously with love though many of us shy away from it. Not anymore; we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day this month and here are some of the ways you could add a dash of red in everything that you do!

Red Roses We know they’re cliché. But come on; who celebrates Valentine’s Day without red roses! Pick up a bunch for yourself. We promise you they will sit comfortably in a vase, in your romantically lit-up home, pouting their scarlet mouths like offering a kiss!

4 | BC Valentines Special | February 2013

Love Stone Embellish your fashion statement with an elegant ruby necklace or just wear a pair of dangling red ruby earrings. Attract love, energy and zest for life with your Valentine’s Day ruby set.

Feature Little Red Dress This could be the next best thing that happened to women after Coco Chanel’s ‘Little Black Dress’ – The Little Red Dress! A sassy figurehugging number, hugging all the right curves is sure to do the trick.

The taller ones could very well go with a longer dress. Team it up with sexy stilettos and you are ready to go babe!

Red Wine Share a glass of Merlot with your loved one. Swirl the glass and stir the memories as you sip on drops of love.

Rose Sparkling Wine and Strawberries Are you and your partner like fresh strawberries and sparkling wine? An unbeatable combination, the strawberries will make the wine taste creamier, how romantic! To add to the love factor, buy a bottle of rose sparkling wine. Now, a little indulgence never hurt!

“This could be the next best thing that happened to women after Coco Chanel’s ‘Little Black Dress’ – The Little Red Dress!”

Clawing and Pouting Chuck the pastels out of your vanity box this month. Go bold and go red! Pick the brightest shade of red for your lips and a peppy number of the same hue for your oh-so-catty nails. No matter what your outfit, you are sure to get some love flowing.

People

Quote Unqu te Bahrain Confidential speaks to residents in the island about what Valentine’s Day means to them.

I’ll be celebrating Valentine’s with my wife and loved ones; we’re planning to visit our families for lunch and dinner. For me it’s a day when you can express your love to the people you care about in a different way – with gifts and special elements.

I think the most romantic spot in Bahrain would be Karbabad Sea! Hussain Al-Sari My Valentine’s Day this year is going to be a private party with friends.

I’m Romanian and we celebrate ‘Dragobete’ on 24th February – it’s a sort of Valentine’s Day. My idea of a perfect romantic adventure in Bahrain would be a pearl-diving experience my loved one!

Bianca Danilov

I’m going to have a happy Valentine’s with my colleagues and friends this year. I’ll also be sending a Valentine’s message to my family and friends back in the Philippines.

I believe that Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love - for yourself, life, triumphs and obstacles and all the people in your life and should be celebrated every day of your life. I think that Amwaj Islands is such a romantic spot – the views, serenity and fast-lane experience!

Cynthia Narvaez

year will be a quiet one at home with my family. In my opinion the ideal Valentine’s gift is a perfume. I prefer the outdoors for a perfect evening with loved ones.

Rehan Ahmed Valentine’s Day doesn’t hold a special meaning to me - you don’t have to wait for a particular day of the year to appreciate romance with your partner! I intend to do one more practice session at the racetrack to celebrate Valentine’s with the love of my life, which is “racing”! The most romantic spot in Bahrain for me is my home. I hope to have a lovely romantic time with a special someone; it would be the greatest gift! Nah! I’m kidding; I’d prefer a Ferrari 458 Italia two-seater sports car!

Anup Surendran

Over time, we have come to believe that Valentine’s Day is about being in a relationship with someone when actually it’s a day of hope, a day when we can share our life with people we love.

In fact I believe the celebration should continue forever.
