Amansinaya Mountain Resort is truly a must-see place in the heart of Batangas. Its green surrounding are so relaxing and captivating. The outdoor adventure are also fun and exciting and most of all, the Ambon-Ambon Falls is such a breathtaking view!
Today marks the 41st Earth Day and Google celebrates it by featuring an animated Google Doodle. This year's theme is 'A Billion Acts of Green'.
As the month of June is fast approaching, this means that there are probably lots of upcoming weddings too. This is because, this month is said to be traditionally the "wedding month".
It’s produced by 20th Century Fox, starring Sam Worthington (as Jake Sully), Zöe Saldana (as Neytiri), Sigourney Weaver (as Dr. Grace Augustine), Giovanni Ribisi (as Parker Selfridge) and Stephen Lang (as Military Colonel Miles Quaritch).
Every Christmas season, all Starbucks lovers or Starbucks addicts (just like me) are all excited to its annual Christmas promo which is their Limited Edition Starbucks Coffee Planner. ^_^
Just like the yearly routine, the promo is open from the 4th of November till the 6th of January. And as the usual mechanics of the promo, the customers just have to complete all the stickers in the Starbucks Christmas Tradition Promo Card to be able to redeem the Limited Edition 2010 Starbucks Coffee Planner.
Christmas is the best season to reunite with all your loved ones, that’s why most families held their family reunion during this season.
Last Sunday, December 27, 2K9, we had a “Christmas Party – Valencia Reunion ‘09” at Auntie’s place (in my boyfriend’s side). And we had so much fun. Everyone was laughing our heads out during the parlor games and during exchange gifts, as well. We definitely enjoyed the family reunion that day!
Holy Innocents or Childermas (Children’s Mass) in other countries, is a festival known to Christians as a commemoration of the mass infanticide or massacre of young male children in Bethlehem ages two years old and below by King Herod of Judea.
Christmas is the one season of the year when generosity is a national pastime. I love it, because it’s the celebration of our Savior’s birthday and I just can’t think of a more wonderful time of the year.
During Christmas, everyone especially the kids are all excited to open all the gifts they have received. Gifts come in small and big packages. Some comes in monetary amount called “aguinaldo”.
But do you guys know what PERFECT and BEST gift a man can ever received at Christmas?
Christmas Eve is usually a sleepless day and a continuous celebration for us, Filipinos. We celebrate this day, as early as dawn by attending the last “Simbang Gabi.” Then, afterwards, every family already starts preparing “Noche Buena” which is a family feast that takes place after midnight. Some families, held ‘family reunion’ during this event, as well.
Yey! Finally, I had time for my blog. I’ve been very busy last week --- too much OTs, too many work and Office Christmas Party. For 4 consecutive days, I haven’t check and updated my blog. I missed blogging! Thank God, coz I’m able to update my blog today and my topic will be our “Exchange Gift in the Office”. ^_^
Celebration of Christmas is incomplete without the traditional “exchange gift”, which is so common during this season. This tradition is followed since ages and this makes the season more cheerful.
Yesterday (December 14, 2K9) was our last batch of kris kringle and our theme was "something worth remembering".
From having only 4 members last week, we now had 1 additional participant, which made us 5. yey! All 5 of us were happy and really satisfied with the gift we had received yesterday.
For Filipinos, each festivity is incomplete without music being played during the celebrations. And on Christmas seasons, as early as October, you can already hear lots of Christmas carols being played everywhere --- in radio stations, malls, etc.
And on December 16, as the same date for the start of “simbang gabi”, children and other carolers already start doing “carolings.” For, it is the official start of it.
As a Filipino, one of the traditional values that have remained strong and very integral to us is our love for celebrating different occasions or festivities. We celebrate every significant event in our lives such as birthdays, baptismal, anniversaries, promotions, graduations and so many others.
Christmas is one of the most important seasons that we celebrate. And we, Filipinos, actually do celebrate the longest Christmas in the world. For it starts, when the “ber” seasons arrives --- October, September, November, and December; and even lasted till the 6th day of January (for the celebrations of the “3 kings”).
