Since I started watching Doctor Who a few years ago, Christmas became more exciting. Of course, Christmas in itself is special for me, especially its religious context. You will find various articles about Christmas on this blog. Doctor Who, a family sci-fi series from the UK, would have Christmas specials since it came back...

Well, there are only 100 days before Christmas this year. And if you’ve read my post about Filipino Christmases, you would know that we celebrate the season for months. For others, today marks their true countdown for the celebration. And if these early Christmas festivities can take away all the bad things that...

It’s nearly September, and your friends might be sharing this meme for several hours on the first. In the early days of online social media, Filipinos would post Christmas messages at exactly 12:00 AM of the said day. But nowadays, people would make fun of this overly-advance holiday spirit and place Jose Mari...

I just arrived home after strolling our City’s major shopping mall and being given a gift by my parents. I should point out that this is the first Christmas where I have not received any gift from godparents and the like. But I’m not feeling bad. I think I had experienced a richer Christmas...

Honestly, I feel like Pasko/Paskwa/Navidad/ShengDan/Noel/Christmas never came by and greeted me this past December.

I almost forgot my password because of those activities! Whew! But I love what I was doing. I’ve been to three Christmas celebrations (yeah,...

One wonder I behold in our local market is the consistency of new kiosks and stalls selling things you can imagine. From the Php 12.00 hotdogs to the so-called “Shwarma Rice”, our market has it all! Even though this product is not new especially to the Philippines, the idea of having a buko stall...

This is what I look like on the pulpit: Well yeah. I love that pulpit. But more because of the celebration I’m into. It’s Christmas!...

Yeah, I decided to abandon that misspelled blog of mine. Heck, that was two years ago! I am so embarrassed! But all things are going well now. Again! Well, HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!...

Well, I’m being apolitical as hard as I can but I can’t understand why we need to give a special name for lighting up the City this Christmas. Really. I mean, who does not know that every Christmas we have something? Even our Muslim brothers in the City know that and understand the majority...
