No solemn “Good Friday” for me

Uh, oh. I haven’t taken a bath yet. The elders in the province would usually convince the kids to bathe before the clock strikes three in the afternoon of the Good Friday, because at this moment, Jesus is already dead. And supposedly, as Catholics, we are to “sacrifice” as Christ did, by fasting and avoiding pleasures (which includes the cleansing the body, I suppose).

Overtime, religious customs and traditions like observing the solemnity of Good Friday have been slowly reduced to but some fond memories of my younger days. The single most important thing that remained in keeping this religious tradition is it gave me a chance to get back to my family.

This time, however, I am neither observing the solemnity of “Good Friday” nor I’m with my family. Same thing happened during Christmas and New Year’s eve of last year. That was my choice and I have no guilty feelings about it. I’m working off my ass on updating and re-coding the Pink Beauty WordPress Theme, the baby that launched me to infamy.

This isn’t really considered a sacrifice since I’m very workaholic, not to mention masochistic, when it comes to doing these stuff. I just promised myself to improve and update the projects I previously released. And this one has been sitting on queue for a very long time since its first release on July 31 last year.

And so, while anxiously waiting for the naked day to be over (sorry, my body is really fugly when naked), I’m testing/debugging the theme. And sometime after releasing it, I can perhaps take a bath already.

    I don’t celebrate Easter, I’ve never celebarated good friday. I’m wiccan so I’m kinda lost on that entire post. I don’t understand why you’d have to sacrifice something just because its a day.
    Take a bath, do your work. Celebrate your holidays the way you feel is right.

    I think the christian believe in sacrifices and suffering is weird. Suffer because Jesus did is a stupid idea. Woldn’t God want people to feel good?

    HI Yoru! I get what you mean about those traditions…I haven’t celebrated much and I don’t feel guilty either. Free to decide is what I think. ^_^

    That is a very cute WP theme, I especially like the way the entries are styled in that curvy shape, nice!

    And I did naked day too and was very glad it was over as well! XD Haha!

    Have a good weekend!

    I guess I’m in trouble too because I didn’t take a bath that day.

    I’m not really religious.

    I didn’t participate in naked CSS day because I knew my site would look horrible. :P

    @nika: :mgreen: I already did! Hehe, notice that I uploaded my theme right on that day. :D

    @Karyn: That’s exactly what I did. :)

    @Angelica: Hmn… Weird? Not entirely. For me, this isn’t done for a nonsensical reason. I don’t really “suffer” when I sacrifice. It’s like just following age-old traditions.

    @Melissa: You did? That’s great! :) We’re here if not to promote, at least to apply the webstandards.

    @exene: Hehe, it depends on your beliefs.

    @Britney: Hmn… but you knew about it? The point of Naked Day is not to show how naked-butt-ugly *lol* your site is but to suggest on what improvement could be done to adhere to webstandards. ;^^
