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

The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge. I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

How To Be Interesting So That Other Can Envy and Notice You

My whole 32 years of existence, ok, minus the toddler years where I don’t really care; I want to be wanted, desirable, likable and according to Google, to achieve this you must be interesting and as part of my research that’s why I came across this book. I hunted for this book in the hope that I can get tips so I can be interesting. In the cover it says: Rule # 1. One must be attractive . – If you are such a good friend or sister you will tell your mates that its personality that wins. I agree, but for the others to notice you, you must be attractive or else they will not make that second look or make an effort to get to know you thus you are not given the chance to showcase your great personality. So, yes, a nod to this rule #1. Rule #2. One must be friends with other attractive people – Ever heard of the saying “Tell me who your friends are and I tell you who you are”? Now that you’re attractive do not stop there and make friends ...
