"Bad news ladies, my house can't be used for the countdown... My family will be going to my aunt's place for the count down... This one cannot escape cause this is the first and last time my whole family will be attending a family gathering as a whole... There was never once everybody from my family who was present together... So this is the first time this year... I'll only be free after the count down that day... You can go ahead without me or plan a Christmas thing on another day..." -Sam

SO HOW??

P/s: What are we doing for Christmas?

Hey all, i really need to propose a new idea. Can we screw the fucking idea of having presents for birthdays? Don't question me now, read this whole thing first. Don't you think it's pointless to even celebrate a birthday if nobody i happy? I don't see why is there i need for everyone to get so worked up over buying presents and paying for presents. Is there still any joy after all the commotion? In the first place, nobody said that presents are a necessity for birthdays? What will happen if we don't exchange presents on a birthday? Does it make the receiver any happier? Who is going to benefit from all the exchange of gifts? Presents should come sincerely from the heart. Where is the sincerity if we are forcing ourselves to get presents for another? Question ourselves? Are we expacting gifts out of greed? Or are we behaving this way because it's a norm? Then again, who decides what's considered normal?

Here's it, from my birthday on, we stop all this gift exchange shit. I'm not expecting any presents for my birthday. I don't want any presents. And if choosing a cake or paying for a cake is difficult, don't even get me a cake. I don't want anything. The joy of celebration comes when you are having a good time with the people you love. At least that definition works for me. Till the day i die, i don't want anymore presents from you guys. You can do whatever you want when i die. Give me some flowers or hire a couple of extra monks for prayers.

If you all insist on the gift exchange, i don't mind. But i don't want anything for my birthday. You want to get presents for others, go ahead. Give my birthday a skip so that's one less burden for everyone. The best present i can get is the presence of everyone. I won't ask for more and i'll not make things hard for everyone.

If the proposal is accepted and you still want to get your friend a present, by all means go ahead. This way, the present is really coming from your heart. It's your own will and you have no rights to complain.


Well, think about it. I'm just pretty annoyed and i feel stupid keeping all this unnecessary displeasure among everyone.


Let go of what makes you unhappy. Being anything but happy is a massive waste of time.
