tsaka kung magsalita naman si bela... as if restricted yung ibang religions sa specific dates??? defensive kamo sya porke nasabihan sya ng sad childhood
Wag kayo magpadikta sa religion niyo. Binigyan kayo ng Diyos ng common sense at will power. Basta ako naniniwala ako sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos, nagdadasal ako at hindi ako nanlalamang ng kapwa. In short, hindi ako magnanakaw. Nagsasabi din ako ng totoo. Dahil naniniwala ako na kapatid ng sinungaling ang magnanakaw. Ganyan kasimple lang ang panuntunan ko sa buhay. Pumapalag din ako pag may nakikita akong mali o naapi. Lalo na kung may magagawa ako.
Totoo naman. My husband’s boss (female) is a JW. She sent me a bouquet of flowers when I gave birth last year. That was the sweetest gift I got from someone other than hubby. They could make an ordinary day a special day to celebrate.
asawa ko din di nagcecelebrate nang pasko, tipid sa side nila palagi. sa side nang namin parang money grab. iba na ang pasko now. 500 peso di pa masaya lol
Tell me about it. My relative in the Philippines send me a private message asking for Xmas gift. No hello, not asking how I’m doing. Just straightforward to asking a specific item which is not cheap! The nerve!
It's okay. Now that I'm an adult, I don't look forward to Christmas the way I used to as a kid. In fact, it feels a bit sad as Christmas approaches because the loved ones I used to celebrate with are no longer here.
I will cherish those happy Christmas days, but I will forever miss my loved ones and be sad na din on Christmas.
Same.😢 I tried to re-create for my kids the beautiful Christmases my siblings and I had with my mom, but I felt so sad kasi wala na mom ko, brother and sister ko, all my OG ka-Christmas are gone, so I use my mom’s Christmas china, but started my own tradition for my kids, yung “mauuwian” nila in their minds someday pag wala na ako.
Simula nung nag OFW ako, at isang npakalungkot na first christmas ko dito at sa mga sumunod din, nasanay na akong hindi ngcecelebrate. Then i converted to a new religion, naging madali lang transition ko.
Hindi naman about pa bongga na gift giving and parties ang christmas and birthdays. Maraming holier than thou who likes to preach that we should make every day like a holiday. Crap. The whole point of Christmas and Birthdays is to always remind ourselves, that even though life can get busy and sad, that our life (and others) is worth celebrating.
Birthdays and Christmas are not about gifts. If their line of thought is like that, then that’s shallow and they don’t understand at all why people celebrate those occasions. And don’t make it sound as if JW are the only ones who make ordinary days special. Geez.🙄
And alam ko din sa knila bawal magsuot ng maiksi pero bkit si bella nag two piece at nasa soc med pa? Kung susunod ka sa utos ng religion mo sana sundin mo lhat hindi yung namimili ka lang ng susundin. Kung ititiwalag ka sa pagsasaya sa Pasko pero hindi ka tiniwalag sa pag two piece mo sa soc med na bawal din sa paniniwala nyo ay may something tlga.
Eto pa?! Hindi daw sila naniniwala sa pasko. Hindi din sila ngcecelebrate ng pasko. So? Wala silang handa o regalo na pagkakagastusan hindi ba? Oh eh bkit pag may pa Christmas bonus o binibigay na hamon ang kumpanya tinatanggap nyo??? Sana sinabi nyo wala po kaming pasko kya wala din dapat kmi Christmas bonus or Christmas ham. Ang fake lang kase ng dating. Kung bawal sa inyo Christmas bkit tanggap kayo ng tanggap ng Christmas bonus???
True! I think that’s the part that is missing for Bela. Just the feeling of gratefulness that she was born on that day can and is okay to celebrate in any way and not necessarily anything that has to do with “gifts”. Trauma can deprive you from feeling happy or excited. When someone tells her “Merry Christmas” is it against her religion to say “happy holidays” even if she doesn’t celebrate it?
Sorry pero kalokohan na pagbawalan mong maging masaya ang isang tao lalo na sa araw ng kanyang kapanganakan. U can be happy other days pero hindi sa bday mo at lalong hindi sa Pasko? Tama pa ba pinaglalaban nyo? Come on. Hindi ganyan magmahal ang Panginoon
But your one day of celebrating is like my awesome day to day life, so sino kawawa? Sheeez I don’t also celebrate because I don’t find meaning in shallow, materialism way of thinking around it.
Oh puhlez darling, wag kang maawa sa amin. Just becuz hindi nmin bet ang magastos na Christmas and New year automeans na hindi n nmin naeenjoy ang buhay nmin. Its not gurl. 😮💨
its not just about gifts. its about festivity, the celebration of jesus birth, the wonder and magic of santa claus, the reunions, the songs. ang saya ng pasko esp dito sa pinas!
Lol OA nila dito sa Singapore kahit mga Muslim at Chinese bumabati ng Merry Christmas pag alam na catholic or christian ka, pag binati ko sila ng merry christmas babatiin karin nila. Same din sa mga christian sa Singapore nakikiisa sila sa celebration ng mga Muslim, Hindu and Chinese. We should just not respect our different beliefs, we should also learn to celebrate our diversity! And i thank u char
Correction lang-We are not restricted to specific dates either in terms of giving gifts. We give gifts during birthdays, Christmas, Anniversary, achievements, milestones, and even random days that we feel like being generous or we appreciate someone for being who they are. As much as I want to understand ur belief- I dont see a reason why you cant celebrate birthdays when u can celebrate n give gifts naman pla on a regular day. Ask urself kung tama pa ba ipinaglalaban o practice na yan. Seriously.
"I never know what I'm supposed to do or feel specially when people greet me and I can't say it back. The same goes with birthdays" - Smile or say Thank You. It's not rocket science! Girl, it doesn't matter kung anong religion mo. In fact, your religion has nothing to do with it. Walang nagdidikta kung anong gagawin lalo na kung anong mararamdaman mo. Same feeling like and reaction if someone tells you Good Job! or Congratulations. You smile or say thank you! My gad.
Ang masasabi ko lang, we create so many beautiful memories on christmas, new year, and bdays. Sarap pag-ipunan at paghandaan ang special occasions. These are times when family is in happy mode, enjoying food, games, gifts, and laughter. Plus this is a time for short get away. And what's so nice about it? You get to talk about these memories during regular days while eating dinner together. The rest of the year kasi lahat busy with school and work. Daming iniisip at sobrang stress.
I am not religious but I enjoy the Christmas season 🎄 The lights, the music, the colors, the weather. I say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays out of respect to the Catholics. Kasi Christmas is about Christ. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Hindi po idinidikta but merong principles why. You have to know the origin not just simply celebrate because at the end of the day, we cannot worship God completely when at the same time, we do things that are unscriptural. I remember merong video si Kim Atienza about the origin of Christmas being of Pagan Origin. Thats informative, i think. Available sa Youtube.
Sabi nya sa interview sa kanya ni MJ Marfori hindi na sya active sa Jehovas Witness. Echosera din itong si Bela.
ReplyDeleteHindi naman porke hindi na active, gagaya na sya sa mga bagay na di sya sanay. Echosera ka 10:26
Delete12:15 kung hindi sya active, tiwalag na siya dun
Deletetsaka kung magsalita naman si bela... as if restricted yung ibang religions sa specific dates??? defensive kamo sya porke nasabihan sya ng sad childhood

DeleteWho cares about this woman’s opinion. Parang nagiging OA na.
DeleteAwww Bela, parang feeling ko she’s also healing her inner child.
ReplyDeleteActually, if you will read and comprehend better, you will know what you feel is not entirely correct
DeleteTotoo naman. My husband’s boss (female) is a JW. She sent me a bouquet of flowers when I gave birth last year. That was the sweetest gift I got from someone other than hubby. They could make an ordinary day a special day to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteordinary day ba yung giving birth?
Deletenag convert sa JW yung hs friend ko... sorry pero hirap na nya maging friend...
birthday bawal celebrate, at pati christmas at ewan kung ano pa yung iba...
ako naman nag-aral ng catechism at lumalim Catholic faith ko...
11:33 may mga ganyan ding Katoliko o Kristyano. Nasa tao yang ugaling yan wala sa Religion.
DeleteMay mga non JW naman na ganyan din.
DeletePatawa naman itong si 1133
Deleteasawa ko din di nagcecelebrate nang pasko, tipid sa side nila palagi. sa side nang namin parang money grab. iba na ang pasko now. 500 peso di pa masaya lol
ReplyDeleteTell me about it. My relative in the Philippines send me a private message asking for Xmas gift. No hello, not asking how I’m doing. Just straightforward to asking a specific item which is not cheap! The nerve!
DeleteMukhang pera na kasi mga tao, nawalan na ng sense of being happy sa maliliit na bagay.
DeletePangit mo kabonding girl.
ReplyDeleteHuh?

Deletepag pasko season nag o-offer kami ng Misa..

DeleteHaayyy kakalungkot naman
DeleteSimula nung nag OFW ako, at isang npakalungkot na first christmas ko dito at sa mga sumunod din, nasanay na akong hindi ngcecelebrate. Then i converted to a new religion, naging madali lang transition ko.
DeleteTagal ko ng di nag cecelebrate ng birthday and christmas simula ng solo living ako..
ReplyDeletekung catholic ka, try mo mag simba... Christmas is about the Holy Mass and the family
Deletepero kung ayaw mo, wala naman pilitan...
Celebrating naman is a choice but if your religion or sect tells u not to celebrate there is something wrong.
DeleteHindi naman about pa bongga na gift giving and parties ang christmas and birthdays. Maraming holier than thou who likes to preach that we should make every day like a holiday. Crap.

ReplyDeleteTry to make more research then you will probably also know it’s not about gifts like you said
Deleteang ibig sabihin kasi nya dun, parang lowkey, "better ang JW people coz we make ordinary days special" hahaha
DeleteTrue 100%
DeleteBig ✅

DeleteDapat excluded yan sila sa Christmas bonus tutal bukod sa hindi naman nila ito ipinagdiriwang eh puro tirada sila sa Pasko na nakakabastos.
DeleteTrue
DeletePeople celebrating Christmas and New Year rocks! Ung mga hinde, kawawa naman kayo
ReplyDeleteAre you a 12 year old?
Deletetrue! ang saya kaya ng pasko!
Deleteand don't get me wrong... it's not about the material things...
biruin mo... hindi na process ng HR yung salary at bonus ko!!! so next year ko pa makukuha...
pero makita ko lang healthy, safe and happy loved ones ko ... thankful na...
sapat na yung spag na ketchup ang halo, Misa, at magsindi ng kandila para sa mga yumao naming mahal sa buhay...
eto naman talaga ng essence ng pasko... Pamilya....
But your one day of celebrating is like my awesome day to day life, so sino kawawa? Sheeez I don’t also celebrate because I don’t find meaning in shallow, materialism way of thinking around it.
Deleteedi you rock! kaw na
Deletearte mo di naman sila kawawa. as long lang it’s their choice and not forced unto them 🙄🙄
DeleteOh puhlez darling, wag kang maawa sa amin. Just becuz hindi nmin bet ang magastos na Christmas and New year automeans na hindi n nmin naeenjoy ang buhay nmin. Its not gurl. 😮💨
DeleteHaha feeling entitled ! Aminin ikaw ang kawawa kasi you are just conforming with society’s norm tsk tsk tsk . 🤪
Delete11:10 nkakaawa ka naman kung tingin mo sa Christmas ay gastos at hindi kapanganakan ni Hesus na ating Diyos at tagapagligtas.
Deleteits not just about gifts. its about festivity, the celebration of jesus birth, the wonder and magic of santa claus, the reunions, the songs. ang saya ng pasko esp dito sa pinas!
ReplyDeletePero aminin iba kasi ang Christmas sa pinas ang saya e LOL
ReplyDeleteKakaloka bakit kelangan kaawaan at ibash mga di nagcecelebrate ng kung anong okasyon. E kung yun ang paniniwala nila. Respeto lang.
ReplyDeleteIngay ng babaitang to 🤣
ReplyDeleteWe don’t care what you don’t celebrate let other people enjoy.
ReplyDelete9:27 true.
DeleteBakit parang sa modern society, hindi na understood ang diversity? Iba-iba tayo. Respetuhan lang.
ReplyDelete9:49 gaya ng respetuhin nila mga katoliko at kristyano na gusto ipagdiwang ang Kapaskuhan.
DeleteLol OA nila dito sa Singapore kahit mga Muslim at Chinese bumabati ng Merry Christmas pag alam na catholic or christian ka, pag binati ko sila ng merry christmas babatiin karin nila.

DeleteI celebrate Christmas and New Year silently. I rarely go to parties keshe ayaw ko ng ingay at maraming foods. Ang hirap magpapayat.

ReplyDeleteBest to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas since not everyone celebrates Christmas.
