Birth of Jesus

             
In the Philippines,when September comes you can already feel the spirit of Christmas. You can already see Christmas lights around you, you can already hear Jose Marie Chan Christmas songs that are played at almost every establishments. Also, some people may have already put up their Christmas trees.
     
Fast forward to December, you will see kids caroling from houses to houses. We also have this thing called Misa de Gallo, in this you have to sacrifice taking a bath in a cold water at dawn and go to church and listen to God's words. You can also see vendors selling kakanin like puto bumbong and bibingka or in our province,Abra,we eat miki. The food will be a perfect match to the cold breeze of December.
      On the Christmas Eve, we will have family gatherings and you will eat Noche Buena together, play games, and give gifts.
     
Let's also not forget that Christmas is the birsth of our Saviour, Jesus. It's just not about giving gifts of the Christmas song or the games that we'll play,but it is also about loving everybody and sharing your blessings. It's just not the food that makes it Christmas but we should also remember to thank God for what you have now.
      Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

"Pandemic ka Lang, I Am Filipino"

     The cases of CoVid-19 has gotten worse ever since its first cases here, in the Philippines. A lot of our countrymen has lost their jobs, families and a lot more. But there are also things that stayed within us, its our ' bayanihan'  or simply helping each other out in time of need. Our resiliency that somehow doesn't budge.      In the month of January, every single one of us has been informed that there was an outbreak that happened in Wuhan, China. In fact, there was one confirmed case already but we didn't really act fast enough. I am not blaming anyone I just think that we could've done better or more. The CoVid cases spread faster than you could imagine. March rolls around and almost every country was in lockdown. Everyone has stopped going to their schools and jobs (except of course our front liners). Everyone was asked to wear a mask, wear a face shield, sanitize, and to minimize gatherings. Everyone was obedient at first but it became more...
