Christmas is over! Sadly it was a rainy christmas eve in the Philippines because of the typhoon and there was no way to go outside to see the fireworks display or community outdoor party. Pretty much the only way and the best option is to stay in bed wearing your holiday sweater. And not to have a dull night, you go with a movie marathon after that traditional Filipino noche buena with your family. And guess what? The next day when you woke up, you stepped on the scale and you were surprised because you gained 3 lbs. Congratulations! Or Is it too late to say I'm sorry? Well, majority of us don't really care like bear. Noche Buena food like menudo, adobo, pasta and buko pandan are simply irresistable. Definitely these are all filipino food with spanish and american influence. And you know what made me happy? They were all on our table last christmas eve. And what is wow about that?

Excluding the traffic jam everyday, you get to see christmas lights display everywhere, lights and sounds show, nonstop party, exchange gifts that will either make or ruin your day, caroling kids at night, 13th month pay or christmas bonus for hardworking employees like me, shopping rush, "Misa de Gallo/SimbangGabi", a nine-day series of masses(December 16-24, usually starts 4am), the cherry on top traditional family dinner we also call "Noche Buena" in the Philippines, family reunion, eat out with friends and let me not forget the new year countdown. What else can you ask for? Did I miss one? Well, pretty much these are all in my backyard.  Honestly, I'm still in t

"Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing. And heaven and nature sing. And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing. Well, for sure not only heaven and nature are singing but many of us. Aren't you feeling the holiday vibe yet? Not only Santa Claus is doing his "Ho-ho-ho!" but also kids preparing their straw bags and getting ready to collect gifts from Godparents.  There's really a lot of happening this season. One is, what do you think? Party today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Plus a never ending gift-giving. It's indeed a season to be jolly, get drunk, and get broke. Right?  Fast forward, this busiest month of the year will push you to appreciate more your restday. It's like every second counts. It's like you wouldn't wanna miss what's buzzing the town. Somewhat, you would want to go outside instead of sleeping on your couch. Like what I said, the
