Doomsday postponed; Christmas pushes through

To some people’s disappointment, the world didn’t end on 21 December. And I am not surprised. You see, no one can predict apocalypse. Or let me rephrase that: We can predict as much as we can but there’s a Divine Power much greater than us who knows better...



And it is rather amusing that even 2012’s most viral Koren Gangnam Style dance video by Psy was dragged into this. What on Earth? I can’t see how a dance video could signal the end of the world. That’s just ridiculous!!

And four days after the supposed Doomsday, it’s Christmas. As I’ve said, it’s just a date and it passes after 24 hours. People are now back to their usual businesses — and misdeeds, waiting for another 360+ days to do good. How clever!

Speaking of Christmas, many victims of typhoon Pablo had no other choice but to spend Noche Buena in their temporary shelters. When the supposedly happy celebration is over, then they’ll face life anew and look forward to better things as a new year starts.
