Filipino Believed Too Much In Once The Year Ideology.
The days become so soon and happened past, just a week we will be closing the season and the 'ber' month is coming, so much more that Filipinos are all excited again in the seasons began, November for all souls day, where it becomes a family reunion. December for holidays and New Year. Why do some Filipinos love to celebrate it well? Because we think that it is just once every year, so we must celebrate it no matter what.
I am not dragging my Filipino, but the moment I heard a word that said "we shall celebrate and have a feast," then one family member said the priorities over the celebration, the next call is that "It's just once a year? What was the problem?". I feel the sadness of the man who even labeled the killer joy, he thinks about priority, and yes, it's just once a year. But how about other things to handle?
There are good and bad traits of Filipinos, which I think most of my readers will find relating. Also, more bad qualities developed as social media emerged from nowhere. Not just the Marites Syndrome (gossiping) but also the fame and sociality affable. People want others to see their selves as an apple in the eye.
The curse of Once a year Ideology.
There were terrible traits that I could not stand in other people. They will kill priorities, so they could have to celebrate something as they said it was just once every year like birthday celebration need to be gracious for just happened every year, not every day. They need to feed other people. But the reality is that the next day they will be the ones who will be hungry. Why? Too much hospitable that they will prepare food and let others drunk the whole night with their expenses.
I laughed at the joke of one person saying that. Only Filipinos that when it was your birthday, you obliged to treat people, other country and nation you will be one to get treated and served special. This is reality, "it's your Birthday, so it fines" it's okay t spend money, forget the things you need to pay, others even borrow money to celebrate, because it's not happened every day, it's just once every year.
Did you get my point? Where people will look at the idea of a one-day stand. Spend now and cry later Ideology.
The saddest part is that you were the black sheep or the joy killer when you disagreed with the fact that people need to look for priorities, not in the celebrations.
This idea was not wrong; the celebration could still have occurred. Some people choose not to prepare the feast, yet they still celebrate things.
The joy of once a year celebration.
I remember one of my friends always said this thing. "it's just once every year" that happened every February. He will call me to remind me of his words. It's his birthday. But he just wanted us to be there, even what was the prepared feast, food served wasn't that special, but all the fun and love laughter is obvious. This is the best celebration I am looking at.
They were going to some celebration where decorations weren't that priority for materials needed funds, set-up, and things.
I just found myself sad after the incident I saw. People are getting powered by social media. Posting their family member's food and program, the birthday celebrant had no choice but to spend their own money for his birthday and feed the strangers even though he will be the one soon to be problematic after all the celebrations.
Does it wasn't toxic? Forcing people to celebrate it just once a year, not realizing that bills and payments are always daily, is food also necessary? Then when this person disagreed, celebrating seemed like a bad trait. Were they selfish for not feeding other people? They had no manner of not sharing the blessing of life just once every year.
Remember that we still celebrate things once a year and live peacefully as we know our priorities of ourselves.
Sa akin, bdays are to be celebrated. Celebrate life kasi wala tayong idea when will be our last day. It is just sad that today, a buddy of ours joined the creator. Stay safe, yonongs.
