As I am writing this one, there were only few days left before Christmas. The Christmas countdown is about to end. The cold breeze in the morning, the different and colorful Christmas decorations we see around are signs that Christmas is fast approaching. When I was Young, Christmas for me is giving gifts, going to places, eating and vacation. But as I am getting older, The true meaning of Christmas is getting clear to me. Christmas day is the day of loving, sharing, and forgiveness.
The true essence of Christmas is how we feel the season, not how extravagant the celebration is. During this season, it is important that family members stay together. Gathered in one table and eat the noche buena, exchange gifts and presents, hear the mass and share stories all over again.
Christmas is just once a year, but we can make it everyday if we like. We don't need delicious foods everyday, we don't need to wear expensive clothes everyday but we could share and give our love to everyone. Lets love each other. Lets forgive and ask for forgiveness. Most of all, Lets offer ourselves to God and let him guide us.

NOVEMBER-iiiiFIC!
November is a special month for me. It is not just an ordinary month. It is indeed a busy month for everyone. November is the month for our dead love ones, our hero Andres Bonifacio, our former President Elpidio Quirino, the Filipino Values Month Celebration and lastly, this wouldn't be so special without my birthday. I was born on this month.
The Filipino Values Month Celebration that was conducted by the Values Education Club had its theme: Pagpapatibay sa Pagkataong Pilipino tungo sa Hamon ng Buhay. Our country has been struck by strong typhoons. Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng was a tragic. They left us with bad experiences such as flood, no current, no food, no drink, no shelter but most of all they stole lives. When thinking about this, we're sorry. We feel pity to the victims. Inspite of what had happened, Filipinos were still strong. They didn't lose hope and start a new life. Filipinos are known for this traits.
There were many things that had happened this month.
I celebrated my birthday with my family and close relatives. There was no big celebration and party but I had a bonding time with my sister and Mama when we went shopping.
A week after my birthday was my first recollection. It was my first time to attend a recollection. I enjoyed it where I was able to meet new friends, shre and interact. Also I ecame closer to God.
This November, I went to Baguio to take the SLU Cee. after that, I was able to explore the City Of Pines again.
See? NOVEMBER is special to me and that's why is NOVEMBER-iiiiific!
