Misa De Gallo Diaries 2012!


It is that ime of the Christmas season which I say is the most challenging yet fulfilling experience of spending 9 days of dawn/late night masses more commonly called MISA DE GALLO or Simbang Gabi. And as my own personal tradition like the Visita Iglesia, I like to speak about this personal experience which takes me into a whole new meaning to living life to the fullest.

Started as a special series in Manual to Lyf last 2010, now on its third year is something I look forward to every year. Something to be grateful for the wonderful year which was given to me. Time to reflect on the difficulties I faced in 2012. To look forward to the year 2013 with strong faith and optimism. Seems to ideal for some, but these things motivate me in being a better person. It will be hard just like the past years due to unforeseen problems and delays.

'I-Juander' wonders why Christmas is 'longer' in the Philippines


Tonight, the GMA News TV public affairs show, "I-Juander" hosted by Susan Enriquez and Cesar Apolinario, "juanders" why Christmas is "longer" in the Philippines than everywhere else. 

Most Filipinos look forward to the celebration of Christmas each year. In fact, while the rest of the world start celebrating the season in December, Filipinos begin decorating homes, shopping malls, offices, etc. with Christmas decors and lights as early as September, the first of the four "-ber" months of the year. The Yuletide season in the Philippines also extends up to January or until the so-called "Feast of the Three Kings/Wise Men" is over. 

Meralco Opens Liwanag Park For The Christmas Season!

Indeed Christmas is just a month away but we are actually decorating our homes and offices with the spirit and feel of Christmas, and we have featured several places that lighted up their Christmas tress and Nativity Scenes (Belen), but the biggest and most anticipated of them all is the Meralco Liwanag Park in the Meralco Compund in Pasig City. We were there at the lighting ceremonies and see the video at the end of the post!

Meralco once again opens its Liwanag Park to the public in time for the Christmas season. The park features light displays and attractions like Christmas figures made of scrap copper wire, a mini train ride for visitors, the Toy Town and a bazaar among others. In recent years, the park has been recognized as a must-see Christmas destination in the metro. The park will be open to the public every day, until January 6, from 6-10 PM.

Stabucks Philippines #Rekindles Christmas Spirit

Yes, its that time of the year that we will indulge in cups of coffee and frap and the like to collect stickers to get their 2013 Starbucks Planner. The Starbuck Cheer Party held at Starbucks Bonifacio High Street. The event was filled with starbuck fans who wants to have their stickers collected to get the coveted Starbucks planner.

For this year, the planner comes in three different colors: green, brown, and black. And according to starbucks, they made sure the most of the ingredients in making the planners are recycled materials that follows their promise for an earth-friendly coffee compan.

In the cheer party there were a lot of games which gave away a lot of starbucks GCs and premium items. Starbucks also had a cup art competition with customers and their partners from other starbucks stores.

The night was also filled with music, fun, and free taste of their Christmas drinks and desserts. I actually won in one of the Q&A contest and got myself a pair of GCs. Sweet! So this marks the day that starbucks fans can now start collecting stickers and grab those planners for the coming year 2013 and Rekindle the Christmas Spirit!

Cheers!
