how to spell Christmas?

My heart bleeds everytime I see this written "Xmas" to denote Christmas. The reason? The most important word inside the word is being replaced with an X. Don't you think it's unfair to the person Himself?

Would it be ok for you to have your name replaced with an X or any letter (that sounds like a good replacement for the lost word/name)? Say for example, Rose's Birthday = X's Birthday. Isn't it weird? It's like you don't know the person. It's like a birthday of someone unknown.

Admittedly, I also used the shortcut. Quiet often. But since my Algebra teacher pointed this out, I became more careful. X in Algebra usually represents an unknown. And replacing "Christ" with an "X" makes Him Someone unknown.

Indeed. And even if you don't know Algebra, you would know that replacing your name with a letter that sounds like it would make you appear someone the other person does not know.

Why have a (grand) celebration for someone you don't know (at least by name)?

who is the Messiah?

Sometimes, I wonder who he thinks the Messiah is, Jesus or me.*

for the sake of those who desired to understand this entry but just couldn't coz i originally posted in my dialect, here's the english version. my dialect version, deleted.

This is so true. Sometimes a boyfriend or girlfriend becomes the Lord to some. That's why those who don't usually go to places of worship start to go with their partner when they start to get into a relationship. If the partner doesn't go, the one who doesn't normally go, doesn't also go. If the relationship ends, going to places of worship also stops.

the art of saving

Never spend beyond what you earn. This is my golden rule when it comes to money.

Our Math teachers taught us a lot of complicated formulas to solve complicated problems. Yet, they never taught us that what works wonders to financial stability is simply subtraction.
Savings = Income - Expenses

Sure we all know how to subtract. It's way too simple that we tend to ignore its relationship to our financial world.

a debt we can not fully pay

Why is love a debt that can never be fully paid?

because it is something we should never stop doing. if it is something we could fully pay then it's something that we cease doing.

9 months since

I can't believe it's exactly 9 months since i last posted in here. And what a coincidence, it's also a Wednesday.

Soon I will be celebrating my anniversary here in Japan. Time flies so fast. I wonder if I was able to keep pace with time. Were you?

It seems to me like there are goals missed along the way. Could be because I wasn't so focused. Should be that!

I am thinking about resurrecting this page. hmnn.... (@_@). will you come follow me?
