I don’t want to break tradition so I’ll start this entry with another apology. Sorry for not posting anything in almost 3 weeks. This is a long overdue post. Cyberpunk gave me a BTB award and now it’s my turn to pass the award to other blogs that I believe, deserve more attention than they’re getting.

Cyberpunk: Why is she here? because she gave me the award of course… also because I thought it’d be interesting if I threw the award back at the person who gave it to me… and then she’d throw it back to me again and so on ‘til both our blogs are filled with BTB award entries. Cyberpunk is an “agnostic”, “supernaturalist”. she usually has a very unique and interesting perspective on things so be sure to check her out

Alice: I first met alice when she bought a laptop from me a few months ago. Due to a certain incident, some of her valuable files were deleted… sorry raised to the tenth power. I have so far evaded all her efforts to castrate me. Why is she here? Because few people seem to know about her blog other than her friends… that and she also because, when she tries, she can be a pretty good writer.

Liz: Liz is probably one of the smartest and most opinionated girls you’ll come across within a 50 mile radius. Check out her blog and marvel at her impeccable grasp of philosophy, politics, logic and of course cosmetics. Liz’s entries range from thought provoking musings to light personal entries. She treats blogging as an art form so whatever topic she tackles, you can be sure that it’s well written.

Kring: This one’s a recent find. Kring is one of the very few female bloggers equipped with the balls for vlogging. I totally enjoyed her “I’m yours” video in which she demonstrated that vlogging can be a very effective tool for making “pa-cute”. I shall take this lesson to heart and also try to make pa cute in my next videos. I’m sure making pacute has the same effect for guys as it has for girls

For tradition’s sake: A most profound apology to you, my dear reader. If you’re wondering why you haven’t been seeing me online much lately, it’s because PLDT mydsl sucks. Also because my conversation skills have dropped to the point where I can’t even hold a 2 min long conversation anymore

Christmas came and went and I don’t have a Christmassy article. I actually wrote a really funny and witty article about jesus, santa and the real meaning of santamas but I figured It might be a bit offensive and I might scare some chicks away. That would totally defeat the purpose of this blog so I decided not to post it..

A lot of people think that because I’m an atheist, I don’t celebrate Christmas. Here’s a shocker: I actually love Christmas!! I love Christmas carols –even those that have the word “Christ” in them, I love seeing Christmas decors and Christmas lights, , I love having noche Buena, I love the Christmas spirit … and I actually don’t mind calling it CHRISTmas. I’m not one of those atheists who get offended when people greet them merry Christmas either(cough cough benj) I also don’t get offended when people send me Christmas presents even if it’s already December 27. Wink wink

But why should an atheist celebrate Christmas? A lot of the occasions that we celebrate have little or nothing at all to do with the original meaning of those occasions. How many people celebrate Halloween and how many of those people actually know or care what Halloween was originally about? Christ’s connection with the christmas is actually dubious. The bible didn’t give a specific date for christ’s birth

From wikipedia: Sextus Julius Africanus popularized the idea that Christ was born on December 25 in his Chronographiai, a reference book for Christians written in AD 221.^[15] This date is nine months after the traditional date of the Incarnation (March 25),

The Christian idea that Christ was conceived on the same date that he died on the cross is consistent with a Jewish belief that a prophet lived an integral number of years.^[20] Thus, the date as a birthdate for Christ is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth.

I celebrate Christmas because it’s a tradition, because it’s part of my culture. I subscribe to no religious dogma that says celebrating Christmas is wrong but I subscribe to the notion that gift giving, stuffing yourself with pasta, ham and kissing random people under a mistletoe is fun.

You have your own meaning for Christmas, I have my own meaning for Christmas. And they don’t have to be the same for us to enjoy the same merry occasion. So to all those people who dis Santa and say things like “celebrate the true meaning of christmas”, I say to you: don’t be a bunch of killjoys. Leave santa alone!!![/chriscrocker squeal]

belated Marry Christmas/xmas/happy holidays/jolly santamas/ to y’all

P.S: Christmas carolers annoy the hell out of me
