How Christmas is to me

Everyone who knows would easily answer that my favorite season is Christmas. And if you're here in the Philippines Christmas season starts in October ends at first Sunday of January marking the Three Kings. Within these time, malls and other establishments play famous Christmas carols while people are starting their Christmas shopping.
For me, every year designing our Christmas tree and decorating our house is a challenge, a challenge I gladly do and looks forward every year. I started with Red and gold Christmas balls, then my orange and gold balls with orange poinsettia on the garland adoring our stairs baluster. This year we opted for home made Christmas balls made of of styro balls, black tule cloth, black and silver sequins. Very timely because of the economy we recycled some of our old decors and still made our house filled with the spirit of Christmas.

But of course it's not just the decors why I love the season. Once the season is in the air, it seems everybody is happy and in the festive mood, as if not minding their personal problems or the economy. I feel happy receiving small gifts from exchange gifts or from friends, but happier when you can share gifts with them as well.
Right now San Miguel Orchestra is seranating me with OPM Christmas songs.

Oh How I love the Christmas Season.
Merry Christmas everyone

My Pot of Gold

At the End of the Rainbow there's a pot of Gold, and I've found mine after years of hunting and waiting. I know a lot of bloggers have blogged about this, how heavenly they tasted and how they crave for more, but I just want to share the reason why I bought the ice cream and why I am blogging about this… When I was a kid, since my Dad likes English movies, I was exposed to Hollywood movies, I would cover my eyes if there’s a kissing scene or learn a few English bad words but I can not forget how they depict that ice cream is a good comfort food which I learned when I grew a little older that it was a great comfort food, but since I was a kid I would wish that I can eat ice cream the way Hollywood stars eat their ice cream in the movies. From the dark covered pint cup, with their silver spoon digging to the creamy and tasty ice cream that waters in their mouth that would always make their eyes close savoring the flavor. I don’t know with others but we eat our ice cream in...

Home is where the Heart is

You can take the Pinoy out of the Philippines but, you can't take the Philippines out of the Pinoy. In the case, food... - Nicanor David Jr. from "Kwentong Tambay", 2006 Ah this one is true, I've heard of it. I came from a family who works abroad, halos lahat sila, actually konti na nga lang kami dito sa Pilipinas e. Anyway, back sa topic. My sister lives in UK been there for quite some time and she went here in the Philippines after 5 years and the first thing she asked me to do is Dial 8-7000 (singing: Jollibee Delivery). My Dad is in USA for, well, a very long time now and once in a awhile if there is a family friend visiting Philippines we will ask them to bring my dad several frozen tapa from the famous Maty's in Prañaque which is in a microwavable container. Filipinos can endure the work and long hours abroad but they can't really resist not to look for Filipino food. I remembered my cousin who's in Singapore she was telling us how she craved for ric...
