Christmas...24 days left!

 
 As I grow older and busier. Christmas started to lose its magic for me.No longer did carols make me giddy and Christmas lights seem like an ordinary thing within the city.Ticking off my shopping list had become a chore akin to paying my monthly bills.

 I remember how I reacted when I found out our house decked with lights; I got annoyed with flickering lights, thinking of how much our electric bill would cost. I caught myself mid-thought and frowned. Had I become such a bitch? So I promised this year that I will try my best to take time out to live a little.

 I wish everyone that we may find some time in our busy social, work and family schedules to sit back, relax and appreciate what we worked hard to gain- be it success, serenity, a little luxury or security.  It’s easy to get caught up in hectic calendars and responsibilities, but note that it takes crucial moments of stillness to make everything worthwhile.

    I remember the first time my mom told me that Santa Claus doesn't really exists, it blows my mind away as a kid and it destroys the spirit of Christmas, but as I grew up I realized that the real essence of Christmas is the Birthday Celebrant Himself and His gift of Life!

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C
