Will be Back In a While

     Hey guys! I haven't posted lately. It's because of the all the school work that I should accomplish from today until the second week of October. I have so much work to do that I have little free time now. I hope you can understand my situation. But I promise you that I will be back to during this semester break. So, I ask you to be patient. That's all I'm asking.

     See you guys later!

Welcome Ber Months!

It officially September 1! It means one thing, it's the start of the "Ber Months". Yeah, it's the start of the ber months. But what's the big deal?

It's a big deal here in the Philippines because the ber months indicate the start of the Christmas season. Now I know what you're thinking: "You celebrate Christmas this early?" My reply to that is yes. The Philippines is known for celebrating the longest Christmas season in the world. It has been a tradition for Filipinos to feel the holiday spirit this early. I can't blame the other people for being excited for the "most wonderful time of the year".

You have an idea about the ber months. Now, I'll tell you what to expect during the ber months in the Philippines.

1. Christmas decorations everywhere!
     Houses and public places are starting to be decorated with the usual suspects like Christmas lights, lanterns, figurines, and many more. The level of decorations can range from simple to epic. As December approaches, you can see more and more places decorated with Christmas stuff to let you know that Christmas is getting closer.

2. Christmas songs everywhere!
     Public places like malls will start to play Christmas songs during this time. I just went to a mall not too long ago and it played Christmas songs. Not only that, you might see people especially children go to every house and sing Christmas carols for a chance that some really generous people will give them money for their efforts.

3. Malls are starting to get crowded.
     For some people, they want to buy gifts as early as now because they might be discounted today. Some don't want to wait for December because prices tend to increase during this month and some things might be out of stock due to high demand. This is still up for debate because not all malls experience this.
   
4. Comfort food everywhere! (guilty pleasures included)
     Who could not forget ham, queso de bola, "mga kakanin", macaroni salad, lechon, bibingka, fruit salad, and many more delectable and rich dishes served during Christmas. Every food imaginable is served during this time. This is also the period where dieting is virtually non-existent even though some people tried really hard to resist some delicious food. Christmas is a celebration. Wherever there's a celebration, there's always food!

As of this writing, it's 115 days before Christmas. Even though it's still very early, the holiday spirit is starting to enter the country bringing joy to everyone.

I certainly miss several points, so comment down below what did I miss. Happy holidays!

See you guys later!
