Rumor has it that Santa's red-and-white suit was an invention of the Coca-Cola Company to promote the colors of its popular soft-drink label. In 1931 the company did hire an artist to create depictions of Santa drinking Coke, and those images became very popular--so much so that Coca-Cola takes credit for inventing Santa as we know him today. However, there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, including a holiday greeting card dating back to 1885 with an image of a jolly, bearded, red-suited Santa; and a 1927 description from The New York Times:"A standardized Santa Claus appears to New York children. Height, weight, stature are almost exactly standardized, as are the red garments, the hood and the white whiskers. The pack full of toys, ruddy cheeks and nose, bushy eyebrows and a jolly, paunchy effect are also inevitable parts of the requisite make-up."
Thanksgiving is not the biggest shopping day of the year in the United States. Yes, many people flock to malls and big-box stores on "Black Friday" to take advantage of deep discounts and get a start on their holiday shopping. But while many stores report record numbers of shoppers on that day, those numbers aren't necessarily reflected in the sales figures. The rankings vary from year to year, but the day after Thanksgiving generally ranks no higher than fifth, after the two Saturdays and Sundays preceding Christmas. The biggest shopping day of the year is usually either the Saturday before Christmas or, if Christmas falls on a Saturday, December 23.
The date of Jesus' birth is not mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the context of the story of the birth of Jesus indicates that it occurred in the springtime. There are many theories as to why Christmas is celebrated on December 25, the most common of which holds that the date was chosen by Christians to overshadow a pagan festival celebrating the winter solstice. Learn more about the origins of Christmas.
In addition to providing missile warnings and air defense for the United States and Canada, NORAD has been tracking Santa's progress for 50 years. It all started when a Colorado department store printed the wrong phone number for a "Santa hotline" on a promotional flyer, and CONAD (NORAD's predecessor) was flooded with calls from children eager to talk to Santa. Rather than disappoint them, the staff took it upon themselves to track Santa on their radar and keep the kids informed of his whereabouts. Nowadays, kids can also keep tabs on Santa on NORAD's Web site: http://www.noradsanta.org/
The story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was created as a holiday promotion for a department store. In 1939, the Chicago-based Montgomery Ward department store asked one of its copywriters to create a children's Christmas story that could be used as a promotional giveaway during the holiday shopping season. Inspired by The Ugly Duckling, he came up with the story of Rudolph, a reindeer who was teased for his glowing red nose, but ends up saving Christmas. The story evolved over the years into a song recorded by Gene Autry in 1949 and a 1964 TV special that has since become the longest-running holiday special in television history.
Abbreviating Christmas as Xmas doesn't really "take the Christ out of Christmas." The X in "Xmas" stands for the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter in Christos, the Greek word for "Christ," and a commonly used symbol to represent the name of Christ in religious writings.
The rumor that poinsettias are poisonous was started in 1919 when the 2-year-old child of an Army officer died, and ingestion of poinsettia leaves was assumed to be the cause. This was never proven, and no deaths from poinsettias have been reported since.A study by Ohio State University and the American Society of Florists fed rats high doses of pulverized poinsettia leaves, which failed to kill them or even cause any side effects. A 50-pound child would have to ingest more than 500 poinsettia leaves to exceed the doses given to the rats. Considering that the leaves have a bitter, unpleasant taste, it's unlikely a small child or pet would eat more than one bite. While it's still not a good idea to eat poinsettias--or any other houseplants, for that matter--the worst that could happen to your child or pet is an upset stomach.
It was once against the law to publicly celebrate Christmas in Massachusetts. The Puritans of New England followed a strict interpretation of the Bible, and since there is no mention of the exact date of the birth of Christ, they believed it was inappropriate to observe it on December 25. They also frowned upon the drinking, feasting, and other carousing associated with the holiday. In 1659 a law was passed making it a criminal offense, punishable by a 5-shilling fine, to publicly observe Christmas in Massachusetts. The law was revoked in 1681, but it wasn't until the mid-1800s that Christmas celebrations came back into favor. Learn more about the history of Christmas celebrations.
President Theodore Roosevelt was an ardent conservationist and did not approve of cutting down trees for Christmas. Hoping to set an example as president, he banned Christmas trees from the White House ... but his children smuggled one in anyway. Roosevelt asked Gifford Pinchot, head of the Division of Foresty (now the Forest Service), to explain to them why cutting down Christmas trees threatened the nation's forests. To his surprise, Pinchot said that if properly done, thinning the forests actually helped to maintain their health. After that, Roosevelt did allow a small tree in the White House.
Saint Nicholas was born around 280 AD near Myra in modern-day Turkey. He is said to have given away all of his wealth and devoted his life to helping the poor often by anonymously leaving small gifts for those in need. Admired for his kindness and piety, he became known as the patron saint of children and sailors (among many others). The legend of St. Nicholas spread, and by the Renaissance, he was the most popular saint in Europe. In Holland, where he was called "Sint Nikolaas" or "Sinter Klaas," he developed into a Christmas gift-giver. Dutch immigrants brought the tradition to America, where his name eventually became the familiar "Santa Claus."

2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital, where the surgeon says, " I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be?
3. A man is wearing black. He had black shoes, socks, trousers, jumpers, gloves, and Balaclava. He is walking down the black streets with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with it's light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?

4. At the time she went into labor, the mother of the twins was traveling by boat. The older twin, Dodo, was born early on March 1st.The boat then crossed a time zone and Dada, the younger twin, was born on February 28th. Therefore the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days before her older brother during a leap year.
5. A square manhole can be turned and dropped diagonally down the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So, for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.

7. He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. because they were not born of women, they never had never umbilical cords, and therefore , they never had navels. This one seems perfectly logical but it can sometimes spark fierce theological arguments.
8. They were two sets of triplets (or quadruplets, etc.) This puzzle stumps many people. They try outlandish solutions involving test-tube babies or surrogate mothers. Why does the brain search for complex solutions when there is a much simpler one available?

THIS BLOG TELLS A LOVE STORY
Jack and Diane - A Love Story
They'd known each other since their school days and had since become the best of friends. They shared everything and anything and spent lots time together in and after school. But the friendship never developed into anything deeper. Diane kept a secret: her admiration and love for Jack. She had her reasons for keeping it a secret. FEAR.Fear of rejection... fear that he might not feel the same... fear that he might not want to be her best friend anymore... fear of losing someone that she could always find comfort in. At least if she kept her feelings to herself she would still be able to spend time with him... and hopefully, he would be the one to tell her how he felt towards her.
Time passed, and soon school was over. Jack and Diane went separate ways. Jack continued his studies overseas, while Diane got herself a job. They still kept in touch though...penned letters, sent each other photographs, and mailed each other gifts. Diane longed for Jack to be back. She decided that she would tell him her feelings once he got back. And then out of the blue... the mails from Jack stopped coming. Diane wrote to him, but there was never a reply. Where was he? What happened? Lots of questions ran through her mind...Two years passed and Diane was still hopeful that Jack would come back... or at least send her a note.
And then her prayers were answered. One mid-August day, she received a note from Jack. It said:Diane,I have a surprise for you. I'm flying over. Meet me at the airport. My flight comes in at 4pm on Saturday. I can't wait to see you again! There's something I need to tell you, something I've been keeping inside all this time. Love & Kisses, Jack. Diane's fingers shook as she read the note. Her heart soared. Diane was thrilled. Love and kisses... it meant a lot for a lady who had waited so long for those words. She was ecstatic!
The day arrived, and Diane waited anxiously for Jack. She had slipped into her best dress, and did her best to look as pretty as she could. She looked around... but Jack was nowhere in sight. She waited and waited, wondering what she would say to Jack when he got there, what their meeting would be like. Would there be love in his eyes? Would there be longing, bred from years of separation and hiding each others' feelings? Oh, how she longed to see him! How she longed to throw her arms around him and tell him she was a fool to ever let him go without ever telling him how she felt! And she was certain Jack felt it too. There was always a certain magic about them when they were together. Then a lady in a sexy, tight, blue dress approached her. She had a very concerned look on her face, "Hi! I'm Lynn, a friend of Jack. Are you Diane?" she asked. Diane just nodded her head."I'm afraid I... I have bad news for you. Jack is not coming... he won't be coming back anymore," said the lady, placing a hand on Diane's shoulder. Diane shook her head in confusion. She felt her heart constrict.What could possibly have happened? Diane felt an overwhelming fear inside her. Her hands turned cold. Her voice shook as she asked: "Where... where's Jack? What happened to him? Please tell me..." Diane begged the lady...
The lady looked intently at Diane... and then she gave Diane a nudge on the shoulder and said... "HOY GAGA! IT'S ME, JACK... JACKILYN!! DI MO NA AKO NAKILALA?! ANG GANDA-GANDA KO NGAYON, DI VAAAAH?! ECHUSERA KA NAMAN MASYADO SISTER! KAKALOKA KAH HUH!! TEKA, SANDALI... MEET MY 'PAPA'!!" Kawawang Diane, hindi lang nawasak ang puso... inapak-apakan pa ng Jack, este Lynn pala! O siya, ipasa mo na lang sa iba para makaganti ka!!!! he he he..

At a restaurant menu in Cebu "We had sopdrink in can an in batol" [translation: We have soft drinks in can and in bottle].
Then, there is a sewing accessories shop called Bids And Pises - [translation: Beads and Pieces --or-- Bits and Pieces]There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled words but they are usually so entertaining that it would be a mistake to 'correct' them like.......
In a restaurant in Baguio City, the 'summer capital' of thePhilippines: " Wanted: Boy Waitress"
On a highway in Pampanga: "We Make Modern Antique Furniture"
On the window of a photography shop in Cabanatuan: "We Shoot You WhileYou Wait"
And on the glass front of a cafe in Panay Avenue in Manila: "Wanted: Waiter, Cashier, Washier". Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression such as:
A shoe store in Pangasinan which has a sign saying: "We Sell ImportedRobber Shoes" (these could be the 'sneakiest' sneakers);
A rental property sign in Jaro reads: "House For Rent, Fully Furnaced"(it must really be hot inside)!
Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique - if not altogether odd. City in southern Philippines which said: "Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation".
European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia - which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho andMr. Po respectively - (believe it or not)!
Some folks also 'creatively' redesign English to be more efficient."The creative confusion between language and culture leads to more than just simple unintentional errors in syntax, but in the adoption of new words, "says reader Robert Goodfellow who came across a sign .....HouseFersallarend' (house for sale or rent). Why use five words when two will do?
According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much wit in the Philippines because "We are a country where a good sense of humor is needed to survive". We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians and bad actors.
Now I ask you where else in the world would one want to live?

Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique - if not altogether odd. City in southern Philippines which said: "Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation".
European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia - which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho andMr. Po respectively - (believe it or not)!
Some folks also 'creatively' redesign English to be more efficient."The creative confusion between language and culture leads to more than just simple unintentional errors in syntax, but in the adoption of new words, "says reader Robert Goodfellow who came across a sign .....HouseFersallarend' (house for sale or rent). Why use five words when two will do?
According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much wit in the Philippines because "We are a country where a good sense of humor is needed to survive". We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians and bad actors.
Now I ask you where else in the world would one want to live?

THIS BLOG TELLS SOME THOUGHTS ON LIFE AND DEATH
Today November 1, is All Saints' Day ( is a christian holy day to honor all saints of the Catholic Church, including those not known by name. All Souls Day (November 2) was established by Odilo, abbot of Cluny, in the 11th century in commemoration of those baptized Christians believed to be in purgatory. All Souls' Day purposely follows All Saints' Day to shift people's attention from the saints in heaven to the souls in purgatory.) Most Catholics visit graves of their departed on November 1, which is All Saints' Day. Maybe they subconciously or purposely believe that their loved ones have become saints? What a marvelous optimism!We shall ponder a little about time, life and death. It is important that what we do with our life. We should also accept that death is, in truth, the grand partner of life. Life ends in death and, who knows, eternal life starts with death.Death and dying shouldn't be black and depressing, I believe it doesn't make sense that much of the world closely associates death with the color black, horror movies, Halloween, terrifying darkness, ghouls and spooky witches.
HOW DO WE WANT PEOPLE REMEMBER US?American writer Mark Twain once responded with wit to a false report that he had supposedly died, saying "News on my death has been greatly exaggerated." The legendary Swedish inventor and chemist Alfred Nobel had once experienced what Mark Twain went through. He woke up one morning in 1888 to the startling news that a French newspaper had mistakenly published an obituary of his death and called him the "merchant of death." It was a double shock for Nobel, who sincerely believed that his invention of dynamite would actually end all wars and hasten world peace.Nobel was so disturbed by his possible dark legacy, he wanted to change his future obituary. When he died in 1986, the reading of his will shocked his relatives. Alfred Nobel had bequeathed 94 percent of his wealth to the creation of five world-famous prizes -Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or medicine, Literature, and Peace - to be given to "those who, during the preceeding, shall have confered the greatest benefit to mankind."During All Saints' Day and funerals , let us not only be fixated on mourning death . Celebrate life more. Wouldn't it be much more better if we celebrate the lives of those who died and gain inspiration from them, rather than forever grieve in gloomy, inconsolable sorrow?
FAMOUS LAST WORD AND EPITAPH:
" A great artist dies in me." - Roman Emperor Nero"
I feel the flowers growing over me." - Socrates"
Consummatum est!" (it is done) - Jose Rizal"
A dying man can do nothing easy." - Benjamin Franklin "
Applaud, friends, the comedy is over ." - Ludwig Van Beethoven"
It is very beautiful over there." - Thomas Edison"
All wells, that ends well" - William Shakespeare
NOT SO FAMOUS:
" I told you I was sick." epitaph in Georgia cemetery"
At last she sleeps alone." epitaph of a prostitute "
Its so peaceful here." - epitaph of a troubled husband."
Here lies an Atheist, all dress up and no place to go." - epitaph of an Atheist"
The defense rest." epitaph of a defense attorney"
Here lies Lester Moore/ four slugs from forty four/no less, no more."
" He was a simple man, who died of complication." epitaph of a simple man.
DO NOT MOURN DEATH, CELEBRATE LIFE - A well made film "Ladder 49" when the heroic film fireman played by Joaquin Phoenix died, his chief played by John Travolta delivered an eloquent speech asking people in the funeral "not to mourn on his death, but to celebrate life." and that was the best part of the film.

KAILANGAN PA BANG I-MEMORIZE 'YAN?
I was riding in a bus the other day, there was a music going on coming from an FM radio. It was a good music, so relaxing, unmindful of a heavy traffic going on. I position myself to sleep while listening to good music. Suddenly, there was an intermission from a radio station where the DJ's are jokings and greetings in a street manners, (usapang-kalye, baga) then played played music again but interrupted by some corny and recycled jokes and repeteadly shout their station slogan "kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan"?
When the conductor shifted to the other station it was the same programming, endless ads and station's ID. It was so annoying.
Gone are the days where FM radio played more music than DJ's talking.

BOMBA!
Nuong dekada '70, kapag sinabing bomba ay lalong pumapasok ang mga tao sa sinehan lalo na yung mga barako, kasi ba naman ito ang tawag sa mga x-rated films noon. Kasama rin ako bilang bahagi ng aking kabataan. Tanda ko pa sila Merle Fernadez, Yvonne, Ricky Roger, George Estregan (ayon sa tsismis ay namatay sa aids) at iba pang hindi naman sikat na artista.
ang nakaka-inis lang nakaabang na sa 'yo yung mga bakla na naghahanap ng masisila.
Kahapon ay ginulantang tayo ng balita sa pagsabog ng totoong bomba sa Glorietta, Makati. kumpirmado na bomba at hindi LPG ang sumabog. So, katakot-takot na imbestigasyon, espekulasyon ang maririnig mo sa mga awtoridad. Nagpi-pyesta naman ang mga news network at ang iba ay masyado ng naging-OA sa pagbabalita. Ang isang estasyon ay nag-bansag pa ng "Ground-Zero" na halatang ginaya sa Twin Towers sa Nueva York sa Amerika.
So, ano na naman ang magiging implikasyon nito?
A.) Kakalat ito sa buong mundo at magkakaruon na naman ng dahilan ang gobyerno na tuloy-tuloy na sana ang pag-ganda ng ekonomiya.
B.) Sisisihin ang Abu Sayaf o NPA.
K.) Panibagong impeachment issue ito sa Presidente.
D.) Muling mgapi-piyesta ang mga raliyesta sa kalye.
Takbo, bilis may bomba!!!

Bwiset!!
Ang hirap maging mahirap lalo na kung kumakalam ang sikmura mahirap itong makausap. Ang lagi mong maririnig sa kanila ay "bwiset na buhay ito !" Sabi ng mga Intsik ang kahulugan daw ng bwisit ay walang pagkain at walang pera.
Katulad ngayo bi-bwisitin ka na naman ng napipintong pagtataas ng pamasahe dahil nag-petisyon na raw ang mga nasa hanay ng pam-publikong sasakyan na itaas ng 2 piso, kaya mula sa 7 piso ay magiging 9 piso na ang regular na pamasahe.
Ewan ko ba kung bakit tuwing nag-aaway ang transport group, gobyerno at mga kompanya ng langis at sa bandang huli nito ay tayong mga mamamayan ang magdurusa, kasali ba tayo sa away at usapan nila?

Tapos na ang Boksing!
Tapos na ang boksing sa pagitan ni MP at MAB, at gaya ng inaasahan ng mga Pinoy si Pacman ang nanalo. Ang totoo kaya ngayon lang ako nakapag-post ay dahil nakipag-boksing din ako sa mga bwiset na "virus" at "spyware" ng kompyuter ko. Sana naman ay balatuhan tayo ni Pacman mula sa humigit-kumulang na P308 milyones na kinita nya sa laban para makabili na tayo ng "Pentium 4" Nahihibang na yata ako ah? Sino ba naman ang hindi mahihibang sa ginawa ng kapuso natin sa laban na yon, halos isang araw nagpapalabas ng komersyal, Diyusme! Marimar, huwag naman sana pana'y pera ang nasa utak ng mga telebisyon estasyon na ito. Isipin nyo rin naman ang kasiyahan ng mga nanunuod. (Bulong ng taga-GMA7, "talagang ganon, pre, negosyo yan) namputsa negosyo daw o, e paano kami inuubos ninyo ang oras ng mga nanunuod ah. Siguro dapat pakia-alaman na rin ng MTRCB hindi lang ang uri lang ng kanilang pinapalabas siguro dapat magkaroon na rin ng regulasyon sa mga komersyal dahil sa sobrang dami nakai-irita na at minsan pati mga bata ay napupuyat dahil sa panunuod dahil sa dami ng komersyal. (Naalala ko tuloy si Cesar Asar, famous komik strip ito nuong dekada 70, may telebisyon siya na ang palabas ay puro komersyal)
Siguro wala ring solusyon ito, tulad ng dati tiis tayo,
hay, Buhay Pinoy talaga..sabi nga ni Manny Pacquiao ang buhay ay tulad ng boksing, walang katapusan pakikipaglaban sa hamon ng Buhay.

Samu't-saring pangyayari
Si Chairman Abalos ng Comelec nag-resign, kaya nag-resign na rin ang kampanyang impeachment sa kanya. Samantala si Senadora Santiago naman ay galit na galit sa isang kolum sa pahayagan na diumano'y naninirang-puri sa kanya ng personal. Si Marimar naman at Fulguso ay napadpad sa Maynila, salamat at nakita niya roon si Inocencia. Handa na raw si Pacquiao sa laban nila ni Barrera. Pumasok sa finals ng UAAP ang La Salle, Bagyong hanna wala na, pumalit si Ineng.
Samu't-saring pangyayari na napapakinggan at napapanod sa telebisyon kung saan nakatutok ang maraming Pinoy na sugapa na sa ganitong pampalipas-oras, kahit bwisitin pa ng sandamak-mak na komersyal ng shampoo.

Magandang Balita
Hindi ko mapigilan ang aking sarili na hindi isulat ang balitang ito, dahil sa ang "Boxing" ay paborito kong sport.
Isa na naman Pinoy ang naging kampeon sa larangan ng boksing. Ito ay si Donnie "Ahas" Nietes bilang bagong WBO minimumweight champion, Siya ngayon ay kabilang na sa hanay ng mga Filipinong nag-kampeon sa taong ito sila ay sina; Florante Condes (minimumweight, IBF), Nonito Donaire, Jr. (flyweight, IBF, IBO) and Gerry Peñalosa (bantamweight, WBO).

Bagama't si Manny Pacquiao ang pinakasikat sa lahat ng boksingero dito sa ating bansa. Siya ay walang hawak na korona (world title belt) Kahit ang magiging laban niya kay Marco Antonio Barrera sa Linggo (oktubre 7) ay wala ring nakatayang korona. Samakatwid ang laban na ito ay pera-pera lang. Manalo at matalo si Pacman kay MAB ay magkakamal pa rin siya milyo-milyong dolyares. Masama ang kutob ko mga kabayan, baka matalo si Pacquiao dito bigyan daan ang Pacquiao - Barrera 3.
May imposible ba sa Las Vegas?

Pinoy!
" One of the greatest sources of energy is pride in what you are doing."
Ang araw na ito ay tutuong espesyal para sa akin, dahil sa hindi malamang kadahilanan ay pumasok ako sa ibang level ng kumunikasyon, ang tawag nila dito ay BLOG. Ewan di ko pa alam ang kaibayo nito sa lenguwaheng Pinoy. Kung sa tunog mo pagbabasehan, ang BLOG ay tunog ng isang taong Sabog na nahulog kaya kumalabog. (banat agad ako ng korne hah) Iwanan na natin ang issue yan, bakit ba nahihilig ang mga taong mag-Blog, siguro karamihan dito ay KSP (as in kulang sa pansin) siguro isa ako sa KSP at marahil maraming dahilan siguro, dahil sa naibubulalas mo dito ang damdamin mo bilang ikaw, di ba? Hindi 'yung alak na lang parati ang outlet mo para manghiram ka ng tapang upang sabihin kung sino kang talaga, di ba? di ba?
Well, marami tayong pagsasamahan at pagsasaluhan at pagdedebatehang issue at kuro-kuro dito at ang kagandahan nito hindi mo ako puwedeng umbagin kapag napikon ka sa mga isusulat ko. (okey di ba?)
Mahiwagang lahi ang Pinoy, at siguro dito ako si-sentro, kahit minsan nakakakahiyang maging Pinoy, aym estil prawd tobe Pinoy.
