Is Christmas really a Christian Celebration?

If there is a time of the year when the activity level of millions of people around the world gets raised several notches, when their “to do” list becomes noticeably longer, it is the Christmas season. In the United States, it begins after the Thanksgiving holiday with its traditional turkey dinner. Then starts the countdown as to how many days are left before December 25th.

As the days make that turn into the month of December, definite signs appear that show the yuletide season has indeed arrived and is fast reaching full bloom. Christmas trees for sale begin to populate supermarket fronts and empty corner lots. The greeting card section in stores are fully stocked with Christmas cards. Not far away would be the brightly colored wrapping papers and ribbons bearing the designs and symbols of the season. Christmas lights retired for months are now retrieved from storage, dusted off and hung on homes and landscaping. Mailboxes are stuffed with catalogs, and newspapers are jam-packed with sales ads. Shoppers are greeted in malls spruced up with all kinds of Christmas decorations, where it would not be unusual to see a white bearded figure dressed in a red and white suit, along with a line of little children ready to tell him what they would like to have for Christmas. Over the radio, the familiar tunes of Christmas carols are heard more frequently. And as the days draw closer and closer to December 25th, the air becomes filled with the sights and sounds of Christmas.

Snack time with Venus G

Yesterday was a totally unplanned day for me and my girlfriend Venus.

It was the first day of school for "my" last semester, since my charming friend right here will have another more year in college because she is a Liacom student. Hihihi. RK right? Hahaha

It was a fine day at school, no stress (the stress only came later that afternoon bc of Criminal Law and Obligations and Contracts haha) and we just decided to have a quick snack after we did some errands. 

The original plan was to eat at dunkin' donuts in Robinsons Triangle but their aircon was not functioning and it was really humid inside so we went to find another place. Sandok's was the next stop. Aaaaaah, I've been craving to eat there for months but unfortunately, the odds were never in my favor that day. Haaaay, I will surely be back and pig out with their pinoy foods. Haha.  Lastly, we went to SOFIA's the place was not really new but we haven't tried to eat there yet and their food was perfect for merienda so... yeah that became our destination.

Project Plum Hair

Split ends have been girls’ least favorite friend since the beginning of time and unfortunately, I had them for ages already. Hahaha.

I was torn between cutting my hair short or just cover those nasty split ends with hair color. And so, I decided to dye it and make my dead hair on the lower part become more dead so I won’t have no choice but to chop it off (this is only half true haha). Plus, I believe this is going to be the last time (I hope not) that I’ll be enjoying these kinds of hair color because I will be graduating pretty soon and I don’t think any employer would hire anyone with this kind of hair. That’s just totally out of their league. Hahaha. JK alright. (This statement is debatable haha)

And to be honest, I’m not really that brutal when it comes to my hair. I also have hair treatments to.. well.. prolong my hair’s life. Hihi. And for inspirations? I don't know, I just decided to dye my hair again. That's all :)

I decided to do it last night and here are the pictures :)
