Let's Decorate

Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.

---Thomas S. Monson

Merry Christmas, everyone!

#Christmas Tree

Wandering around SuperMalls...

 Don't measure the height of your Christmas tree. Measure the abundance of the love present in your heart! 

ALWAYS REMEMBER : The greatest gift you ever own is not found in the shops or under your Christmas tree. It is found in the hearts of your family and your true friends.

OMG! One day more it is Christmas once again. At 12 midnight will be the noche buena.

It's my first time to greet and post a Christmas message here. So, I'm kinda super excited and happy that in this way I may able to greet other people around the globe a Merry Christmas. ( As if others can read my message:-))

With this, I would like to share the text message I received from my dear Ate...Ate Ludy. The message goes: The world says it's CRISIS. No money no joy, but for GOD's people there is no crisis because GOD is the owner of everything and HE is in control. Have a blessed Christmas and an abundant new year to all.

Merry Christmas:-)
God bless

A Christmas To Remember

December 19, 2008 was our district party. District III ( which I belong) consists of 16 schools with 128 teachers. The party started early at 8:00 in the morning. I came late :-(. My principal kept on looking for me (well he maybe miss his most beautiful teacher :-)) according to my co-teacher. I thought the party will be delayed due to heavy rains but I was wrong. I came at 10:00 0'clock. Fortunately, Mrs. Supervisor didn't notice me. If She does, I am sure I can dance or sing in front of them. (It is the way she punishes teachers late in coming esp during the meeting).
My co-teacher, Bing, approached me as soon as I abide the group. She kissed on my cheek and greeted me a 'Merry Christmas'. So sweet for her.

The emcee announced that the highlight of the program is the crowing of the instant Christmas King and Queen. Each school must have a representative. So, they chose me. (We are only three in our school:-))It is not because I am the beautiful one, but because I have the thicker face in the group daaahh. (What an unlucky day for me!) The winner to be crowned Queen must have the highest amount generated that day. The amount I earned is only thirty pesos (hahaha so poor of me). Of course I did not win. I earned less because I was so shy to ask money from others like a beggar ba :-) in an enjoyable way.

After the crowning of the Christmas King and Queen, presentations from different schools followed. Our group showed our hidden talent, we danced. I can't focused on our dance because Mrs. Principal, one of the principals in our district, teased me. They made fun on me. She said: "I thought you can't dance V, but you can dance well. (with a smile on her face)...

The awaited moment that day was the announcement of Mrs. Supervisor, telling that the additional bonus will be released after the party. We were happy upon hearing it but still sad because the additional bonus is not the right amount that we should receive. (may utang pa ang Gobyerno sa amin:-()

Merry Christmas :-)
God Bless

Classroom Christmas Party

I arrived on December 15 in my station. When the children saw me descending from the motorboat, they shouted out loud and jumped happily. They hurriedly approached me, picked all my things and carried it all headed for my house. They asked me if the party will push through. I nodded my head to answer their simple question. I know they are super excited about it. Their smiles proved how excited they were.

December 16, the date the children waited for. Early morn, they knocked the door of my house and got their gifts. They immediately took a bath in the well while I was busy preparing food for the party. (Of course, I'm not a good cook, I asked someone to do it for me. Special thanks to Dumandan Family).

The party started at 10:00 AM. They presented dances, songs and poems. They wore sexy and beautiful dresses. They were all beautiful and handsome that day. I worried that the chocolates I bought may not be enough for them. Fortunately, they were satisfied of what they received. Truly, Christmas is for the children.

God bless:-)

On the Other Side…

Christmas is nigh.

Twenty percent of the Filipinos are busy preparing for the Christmas party. Busy buying gifts and clothes to wear for the party.

Twenty five percent are busy thinking what to prepare for the noche buena.

Fifty percent are ‘wala lang’. As if Christmas is just like an ordinary holiday. Color red in the calendar.

Five percent are taking advantage on the occasion (cell phone snatcher, wallet snatcher etc.)

Surigao City has no mall so we don’t enjoy what others did during this season like the 50% sale etc. I think Surigaonons are really simple people. We are contented what we see and what we have right now. (Or wala lang talaga ibang magawa:-))

Luneta Park is the only place we can visit at night. No entrance fee. We are contented looking at the trees full of series lights. We assume the lights are the stars descending on the land. (Parang nasa outersapce). Each tree lighted by a benevolent sponsor. I think there are more than 30 trees in the park (not really sure).

Merry Christmas:-)
