An electric Fan, then he said, "Air Machine".

What about Microwave? "Hot Machine", he answered.

Its been only 5 days to Christmas. We, Filipinos, loves this season more than any other holidays. It has always been a joyful time wherein we can spend with our families & the people we loves the most. But Christmas doesnt always worked that way. Christmas, I think, imparts a more valuable lesson in life more than gifts, foods, the songs, and all the material things that we received. We should remind ourselves that Christmas is celebrated because it is the time that we can become a better person by virtues of generosity and greatfullness. Christmas always gives us a chance to shine and display our greatness.

While I was watching the TV earlier, the ABS-CBN station ID for 2010 caught my attention. Their theme on this years Christmas plug is "Ngayong Pasko Magniningning ang Pilipino", which is interpreted by Gary V & Toni Gonzaga. Aside from its catchy tune, I think it also emphasizes that all Filipino deserves a fair chance to shine this season.

The chorus is very apt on the concluded matched between our very own Pacquiao and Mexico's pride Margarito, wherein the Filipinos shine once again. Pacquiao proved to the world how great fighter he is. Aside from that he also gave all Filipinos around the world of something to be proud of. But what is more admirable to Pacquiao was when he showed inner strength when he refused to inflict more damage to his opponent. In one of his interview he said that, "boxing is not for killing each other" and for that impressive statement he stood out one more time.

It is not only Pacquiao that makes our country proud, there is Charice Pempengco & Arnel Pineda, who does not tired on proving how talented the Filipinos are. Another is Efren Penaflorida, the CNN's 2009 Hero of the Year. He also showed how compassionate Filipinos are and for giving the importance of education, when he used his kariton being a classroom to teach the less fortunate children on the streets. And the AZKAL's, the Philippines National Football team, without the government support, still, they struggle to fight to show to world that Filipinos can excel even on football. They are just among the many ones who continously gave us something to be proud of and something to believed in. Their successes gives us hope that everyone can achieve more than what they achieved. One more reason why we shine throughout the world is because of our OFW's, the what we called the newest Hero of our time. Their dedication to their job, talents & intelligence, hospitable & care for others, also the determination to succeed are some of the many things that other countries & cultures admires of. No greater love than being apart from love ones just to give them a good life & future.

They are just among the many ones who continously gave us something to be proud of and something to believed in. Their successes gives us hope that everyone can achieve more than what they achieved.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

MABUHAY ANG FILIPINO!!!

Simula na ng simbang gabi o ang novena para sa pagsapit ng pasko. Ito yung panahon at kaugalian nating mga pilipino upang ipagdiwang or gunitain ang nalalapit na pagsilang ng ating panginoong Hesus. Isa ito sa matatandang kaugalian na minana natin na magpasa-hanggang ngayon ay isinasagawa pa rin natin. Sa Pilipinas isinasagawa ang simbang gabi, usually around 4 or 5 in the morning at itoy nagsisimula tuwing madaling araw ng december 16 hanggang december 24 ng gabi na tinatawag naman na misa de gallo. Dito sa amin sa bansang kung saan, halos 1.3% lang ng kabuuang populasyon ang mga Kristiyano at si Buddha ang bida ay magsasagawa rin ng simbang gabi na magsisimula mamayang Dec.15 hanggang Dec 23 ng alas-8 ng gabi. Nakakatuwang isipin na kahit saan man tayo mapunta at mapadpad ay dala dala pa rin natin ang kaugaliang ito. At diyan ako bilib sa ating mga Pilipino, inspite & despite of different adversities, problems & culture hindrances especially to OFW's, we still managed to find ways to feel the spirit of Christmas even in countries that do not celebrate the said Season. It is true that this season brings us more pain than joy especially for us OFW's, who are working abroad & earning money far away home & far from our family. Thanks to our modern communication technologies now, we have email, chat, & even video call that makes us allow to greet our love ones a Merry Christmas.

Last night I was marathoning the Harry Potter movies and i'm already on its third installment "The Prisoner of Azkhaban" when i caught myself snoring. On the latter part of the film, the Knight Bus was introduced when Harry Potter left his uncle's house after inflating Aunt Marge inadvertently. Knight Bus is a triple decker bus that assists stranded witches & wizards through public transportation. In the movie, most of the passengers of the Knight Bus are old ones except for Harry. Well, actually my story is not about Harry, its about that bus. I'm thinking, what if theres really a bus for stranded people especially those who are waited to be love & to love for so long time. Sabi nga ng mga matatanda, "abay bilisan mo na, baka maiwan ka pa ng huling byahe."

Actually early this morning, i had a meet up with my brother at the city to assists him to the TAX Bureau for his tax refund. While at the bus and while listening to my playlist on my HTC-Wildfire phone, I'd noticed that I am the only youngest person inside & I supposed all are aged 50 & up. As I listened to O' Holy Night, Celine Dion version I started to think, what if I came to the point of their age, still single? Alone, sad, loathed, full of sentiments, and no one cares. Geez! I can't imagined myself living alone, without kids roaming around. Without someone who can share your lonely nights & someone who can talked to & planned for something great ahead. Syetttt! Hindi ko kaya ang mag-isa! And if that time comes I think I need to shout this out loud.......

Amidst of different problems, crisis on work & lovelife, i still wanted my christmas wishlist comes true! And for the first time on my blog i wanted to reveal some of it, but first I wanted to thank God for the wonderful & 'kinda' fruitful 2010. I met different kind of people that made me stronger than ever spiritually & emotionally. Well anyways, without so much further ado at dahil kaalyansa ako nina Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael at nung isa pang ninja turtles na mahilig din sa pizza, here are some of my wishlist & WISH KO LANG sana may matupad kahit isa.
