Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day... Here's just a rehash of a romantic story I've posted once in my blog sometime ago....

I don't know what got into me-just feel like telling another story after that clean one! Here's a romantic one... Well, the buddy who gave me this story claimed it was true...every word of it.

There was once this guy who was very much in love with his girl. The romantic guy folded 1000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although at that time he was just a small fry in his company and his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together.

One day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and would never come back. She also told him that she couldn't visualize any future for the both of them and so they went their separate ways there and then.

Heart-broken, the guy had agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself. Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy set up his own company. You never fail until you stop trying.

One rainy day while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his ex-girl's parents.

With his heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to know he wasn't the same anymore: he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it!

What he saw next confused him...

A Common Hobby?

Okay, okay-it's that cheeky devil, Archie! Don't the girls in Archie's life and female readers as well just love this lovable cute rascal?

It's a hobby of mine, collecting comics just like this particular copy displayed in all its glory here.

It's quite an extensive collection, collected through the many years - war comics like the Commando series, War Picture Library series, Pocket War Library series; cowboy comics like Combat Picture Library and sci-fi Space Adventures series....

Then there are all the other Marvel comics with titles such as Superman, Aquaman, Batman and so forth. In addition, there are others like Disney comics featuring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, et al and even Classics Illustrated-comics based on famous novels by writers such as Charles Dickens and Samuel L. Clemens; supernatural ones like Tales of the Unknown and Suspense... Chinese comics featuring funny guy Lau Fu Tze and even Bruce Lee, and many more.

Really quite a lot in my private library, if you include spy thrillers and Vietnam war ones as well.

Yup! I've got Superman's special wedding edition in mint condition, courtesy of an old Canadian girlfriend!

Any comic freaks out there like me? Wanna trade? Let's say we'll forever be young with comics around us. Besides, they would be interesting heirlooms to leave behind for all our great grandkids!

Now I wonder if I could make a little fortune by selling a few of the rare ones on e-bay though ....
