They say, Filipinos have the longest christmas season in the world 'cause whenever the calendar hits September 1st, we pinoy feel quickly the spirit of Christmas. Anyway, I enlisted the things that makes me go smile and silently giggle whenever I hear christmas Season!

1.Bibingka & Putobombong
Woah, who doesn't love that Rice cake filled with cheese and yummy salted egg and that sticky violet thing with sugar and coconut shreds on top. YES! please :)

2.'Mabilis Magdilim'
During Ber-months, nighttime is more longer than daytime. Some Elementary schools here in the Philippines have "Daylight saving time" in which the school dismisses classes earlier than their said dismissal time to keep the child's safety "daw".  I'm a nocturnal person so every activity being done during nights/midnight/dawn is in favor to me.

3.Sembreak (Semestral Break)
Every college student is looking forward to this 3-2 week break. Some, plans to spend their break at their hometown. Others are planning fore some road trip or an 'outing'."Damn you Finals, Good bye Last Semester"

4.Trick or Treat/ Halloween Party

This usually happens at the last weeks of October. Kids go wear their costumes and knocks on the door of their neighbors to ask for some candies. And so adults and celebrities to.

5 All Saints day & All souls day

Many Filipino families are treating this days as their 'Family Reunion'. Syempre, we need to reminisce din for our co- family member who's now with the hands of our Almighty God.
 

6.Sweater Weather

Cold breeze + Swiss miss Chocolate w/ tiny marshmallows + pre-christmas movies on HBO in your comfy Sweater.. YES Please! At last, you can now wear that hoodie or sweater you've bought from an 'End of season sale' in Terranova, Cotton on or in an online shop.

7. Simbang Gabi
Everytime the calendar hits it's 16th day of December, Churches here in the Philippines is starting put on Christmas lights and preparing for the night's 'Simbang Gabi' or Late night Mass. Filipino has this urban legend that if you consequently attended this '10 late night mass' starting from 16th to 25th day of December, your wish will come true on the last day of the mass.

That's all :) Ikaw anong mga gusto mo sa Ber-months? comment below

Pansin ko lang ha?

"Science & Faith" o Agham at Pananampalataya sa tagalog. Sabi ng bibliya, nangaling daw ang tao sa putik na gawa ng ating diyos. Sabi naman ni pareng Charles Darwin, ay galing daw tayong mga tao sa ape. Eh ano nga ba talaga? Hahaha! Pero wag niyong ibaling ang attention niyo sa thesis statement na yun.

  Pansin ko lang ha? Sa pagkahabahaba ng pag aaral ko sa isang paaralan na tinuturo ang salita ng diyos. (Private school) ngayon ko lang napansin ang pagka-kaiba ng isang eskwelahan na may affiliation sa religion at isang eskwelahang private non-sectarian. Alam ko naman na marami sa inyo (Senior High school students)  ang humahangad na makapasa sa exam ng mga 'Top Universities' or 'Ivy League' ng Pilipinas. Pero sa bandang huli tanging sila Honor students lang ang makakapasok duon. At ikaw, syempre meron kang pangalawang choice. No Choice eh nakakatamad mag pa reconsider. So hahanap ka na ng panibagong skwelahan na papasukan mo sa kolehiyo. Anukaba sister, Parehas lang tayo. Katulad ngayong nasa College na 'ko. Di ko inaakalang mag aaral ako sa isang pamantasang hindi ibinabatay ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa itaas. 

  Ang dami ko namang sat-sat, O sige eto na.. pansin ko lang naman na bakit kapag nag aral ka sa isang 'Private sectarian' na eskwelahan eh maraming bayarin. 'Help Others, Help the Poor; Pay 200 pesos' Oh? Bakit may kailangang minimum na perang maitutulong? Dapat diba bukal lang sa puso mo? Aguy! Eto pang isang malupit 'Pondo ng Pinoy' "Sa maliit na maitutulong gaganda ang buhay nang isang mahirap.--- at aasa nalang ulit ito sa pondo ng ina mo". Pero ngayong nasa non-sectarian school ako napansin kong may mas naiipon pakong pera kaysa dating nasa Elementarya at ikalawang baitang pa 'ko. Mas konti ang bayarin, meron din namang Church groups like "YFC" or Youth for Christ. Pero mas nadarama namin ang benepisyo at higit sa lahat walang suhol.

  Hindi ko naman sinasabing lumayo kayo sa Pananampalataya sa poong maykapal katulad ng "Science & Faith" na kinalaban daw ni Darwin ang religion kaya namatay daw siyang walang basbas. Pero sabi nga ng isang pari "Gayahin nyo ang sinasabi ko, pero huwag niyong gayahin ang ginagawa 'ko" dahil kahit na instrumento pa yan ng panginoon ay may panga-ngailangan din yan minsan. Tao rin yan, minsan marupok Ika nga. Pansin ko lang ha? May mali ba sa sinabi ko? O sadyang may mali sa mga eskwelahang ito?

Radioactive Wanderlust

It's been a month since I started my college life, and for the first weeks; all I can say is "ibang-iba na po sa High school" Hahaha! One wrong fckin move and you're dead. But life updates aside, here are some things that I feel so nostalgic. I call it RadioActive Wanderlust because it gives you an odd epiphany everytime you feel it. PS. I'm a nocturnal dawg.

1. I love how the bathroom mirror moist everytime the hot water running through my body coming from the shower

2. I really like eating  during midnight while watching TV reruns.

3. Jogging in the city at dawn, smog free.

4. Going up to the roofs at midnight, just watching the city lights glow in your naked eye.

5. Curling up in bed with your favorite book, much cozy if it's raining.

6. Driving in the expressway at night while listening to some Stevie Wonder songs.

7. Looking up in the sky when stars are bright, thinking how big was universe is.

8. Cold weather.

9. Sunday morning breakfast.

10. Pillow hugging while day dreaming.

11. Watching movies at your Laptop until you feel sleepy
