I Remem-BER
Oh yeah! It’s the first day of September and yes it’s the very first day of the -BER months! And for us Pinoys, it’s the start of the countdown to Christmas.
Christmas is well-celebrated occasion in the Philippines. Preparations for the holidays comes ahead than preparations for the Halloween. Shopping malls will start dressing their display windows and shelves with scenes and themes of Christmas. It’s a funny scene in October, when establishments are decorated with both Christmas and Halloween items; that if you’re not used to it, you would think you walked into another dimension. But that’s how we are. We love to indulge ourselves and really get into the spirit of the Holiday season.
In a matter of days, there will be tents in almost every street and on the sidewalks, selling puto bongbong and bibingka. I miss eating those. I would probably be one of those lining up for a piece or two of putobongbong , waiting patiently for my turn. Mmmm… I can almost imagine its taste: sweet, creamy, and with a hint of salt and butter.
Here are some snaps of Christmas last year:
*The first photo shows displays of Let it Snow decors in a mall.
*Second photo is the giant Christmas tree in Araneta Center, Cubao. I wonder if they’d use the same tree this year or construct a new one. Will they decorate it with the same ornaments (those gigantic butterflies, and huge Christmas balls) or should I expect for new ornamentst?
*Third one is a photo of the lobby of our office building. I hope they’d think of a new concept. Been seeing the same decorations for two years already! 
Start making your Christmas list now, people. You don’t want to be caught in the Holiday rush.And commodities are still cheaper this time than when it’s November or December already.
It’s a hundred and fifteen days before Merry Christmas! 
I’m looking forward to Christmas because my little Sonnet will finally be able to experience it. Last Christmas kasi wala pa sya gaanong malay and she wasn’t excited about the presents and decorations yet. Ngayon mas appreciative na sya:)

Salve: I’m sure Sonnet will have a grand Christmas celebration. Makikiagaw na yan sa mga regalo sa Christmas tree.
This morning I woke up hearing a Christmas song playing at our neighbor’s house. It’s their tradition actually. So how will I forget that today is the start of the ‘BER’ months? :p
Salve: Sarap makinig ng Christmas carols. I listen to them whenever I feel like I need something to lift up my spirits. Pero naka-headphone naman, para ako lang makarinig.
Hayaho!
So the countdown begins!
Salve: Yes, Brainteaser, the countdown begins!
Yay Salve, can I come and hang a branch of mistletoe in your office?
Volunteers anyone?
Salve: Siguruhin mo lang na walang foreign object na nakakapit dyan sa mistletoe na `yan, VF.
In truth, I’m not that happy kapag Christmas… parang may something sa kanya na hindi kasing tuwa ko kapag new year. Kahit noong mga panahon na binibigyan pa ako ng aginaldo ng mga ninang ko.
Pero I’m happy na makapagbigay ng saya sa iba lalo na sa mga chikiting namin sa bahay o sa mga inaanak ko. Talagang pinoproblema ko ang pagbili ng mga regalo at ayokong simple-simple lang. pero siempre kung mabibili ng mura roon ako. hehehe
This Christmas din siguro mas nakakatuliro kasi wala si ate Mary Ann ko na lagi kong kasama sa pamamalengke o paghahanda. Hindi naman ako ganun kasipag mag-ayos ng mga kolerete sa bahay…
Sana na lang ay may magandang pamasko sa akin this year para maiba naman! Darating daw si Best friend sa December eh. Avi aginaldo ko?!
Salve: Kaw naman, try to be happier this Christmas.
Try ko din na isali ka sa Christmas list ko! hehehehe
curious dito ha, kasi dati late na sila nagsisimula, in fact kahit na pasko na, minsan lang ako makarinig ng christmas songs e. pero ngayong september? may mga christmas cookies at cakes na rin, wala pa nga lang chocos
kengkay’s last blog post…nakakahiya si kengkay
Salve: Ibig sabihin, nagiging trend na talaga na nagsisimula ang Christmas preparation pagdating ng -BER months.
i remem=beer the voice ng mga nangangaroling. hay naku kailangang maghanda na ng mga barya para sa mga makukulit na batang oras oras may tumatapat sa harap ng bahay namin. okay lang ang bata sana wag ng matatanda kc hindi pwede barya don baka ibato pa sa akin kung barya ang ibibigay ko don. aru!
Salve: Lasing ba yung mga nangangaroling sa inyo, master? ayan naka-beer! hehehe.
naku, mukhang sa makukulit mapupunta laman ng alkansya ko!
i remem-ber first pasko ni ira with us naka-costume kami talaga ng santa claus. As in pati damit, that was the time feeling ko at lahat ng tao sa paligid ko princess pa ang anak ko at walang kaagaw ng attention kasi walang ibang baby. At hello ang gift first time ko nagbukas ng sobrang dami gifts kasi excited ako kesa kay ira dahil wala pa naman siyang masyadong muang nun, so feeling ko aking gifts lahat yun. Ang saya di ba. Syempre since naka Santa costume kami dami daming bata ang nakapila.
After nun parang hindi na naulit,parang after ko mawalan parents wala rin ganun kasayang pasko. Basta dumaraan lang, inisip ko Septemeber 1 , 2008. Sana magkaganun ulit. Kahit hindi ganun bongang bonga atleast maging masaya ulit. Kami ng pamilya ko. (Ako, asawa ko at anak ko.)
Syempre gusto rin pati mga kapatid saka kaibigan ko.
SANA MAS MASAYA TAYONG LAHAT NGAYON PASOK!
Salve: at least you have one good memory of Christmas to cherish, ate. Yung iba, never pang naka-experience ng masayang Pasko. Let us all hope that this will be a better Christmas for all of us, ok?
When Monday came this week, I was so excited! Thinking about how Manila will be donning this air of excitement and all the baubles will be coming out and everything will look very Christmasy. I told people at work about it, but there are just so many Scrooges in the UK. They’re not a huge fan of Christmas. Oh well. Can’t wait to be there!
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your kind comments. Have a nice weekend!

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
In the great scheme of things you actually get a B- for effort and hard work. Where exactly you lost everybody was in your specifics. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And it could not be more accurate in this article. Having said that, permit me tell you what did work. The authoring is certainly very engaging and this is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, although I can certainly notice the jumps in logic you come up with, I am not certain of exactly how you seem to connect your points which in turn make your final result. For now I shall subscribe to your issue but wish in the near future you actually link your dots much better.
Have you ever considered writing an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog centered on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would enjoy your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
