[baboysai]

i thought it was always feb 1?

 

[hunter71485]

It's not. The Chinese Calendar is a lunar calendar, which means 28 days per month.

 

[duchess of dork]

well, hello, didnt you get to hear the drumbeats yesterday? and baboy-chan, since you look a lot more chinese than everybody here, i thought you knew.

[duchess of dork]

[Paper]

Belated happy lunar newyear!

Celebrating new years... Why does it feel pagan?

 

[Paper]

Celebrating any holiday is a pagan ritual... Seeing as all religions are based on sun worship.

 

[hunter71485]

Not all religions.

Oh wait, you're right. I suppose it should be "Not all faiths/beliefs".

 

[yoniekai]

since we're talking about religion, i'd like to know where you guys stand? some of you here believe and some dont. me, i don't want to be in a religion, nor do i want to be an atheist, so i guess i fall in the agnostic side.

on a side note, i really can't tell if benjamin button deserves all of its nominations

 

[hunter71485]

it's brad pitt, so why do you ask?

 

[daradik]

hey all~

I've seen the trailers for benjamin button but I don't find it that appealing for some reason. I guess it's a was to build hype around the movie...?

And I'm on the same ground as yoniekai when it comes to religion.

 

[baboysai]

Oh hai, dar! Long time no hear a!

you can discuss movies at the Movie thread. ^^ Where I also posted what I think about the movie

Are you still up to date with your manga?

hey, id like to disagree. you are the heretic one. . no seriously, i think any religion who uses icons<living or nonliving> for worship has pagan origins..

chinese new year is, to boot. its full of myths, superstitions, which beliefs had rubbed off on us..like red and yellow is symbolic of wealth and will usher luck on this aspect to wearers. its crappy but people think there's no harm in trying, regardless of whether its the truth or fable.

we were required to report in red shirt last monday...but as expected of me, i went in blue one .. heck no, i wasnt intentionally being rebellious, its just actually the secretaries' fault. they didnt call up to inform me.

since we're talking about religion, i'd like to know where you guys stand? some of you here believe and some dont. me, i don't want to be in a religion, nor do i want to be an atheist, so i guess i fall in the agnostic side.

agnostic? well, i dont know much too, but i think when we choose to believe, that is faith. we are rational, so there will always be room to doubt...all we have to do is choose...

on a side note, i really can't tell if benjamin button deserves all of its nominations

it's brad pitt, so why do you ask?

i think itll be good drama, brad or not, the drama seem promising.

my favourite award winning title is still the 1997er 'la vita e bella'...it touched my soul with its perspective of human inventiveness coming out from the need to preserve the loved ones and their good nature......uh, which reminds of us of...........TADA!!! gaza? [ssshh...]

[hunter71485]

Well I failed for a number of reasons:

1)Processor. Intel Celeron 2.0GHz
2)RAM. 512 DDR SDRAM
3)Graphics Processor. ATI Radeon 9550/X1050 Series 256 Mb.
4)DVD Drive. I know, but my PC is shared among the family, and they don't want to replace the optical drive.
