Frozen Christmas In The Mall

For the year-end celebration this year, it takes a lot of preparation in buying presents to people closed to us. The popularity of Frozen film created a big impact to the crowd form different nations. They seem united and enjoyed to talk about the success story of Anna and Elsa. In SM Baguio, you cannot roll your eyes of not seeing the motif; it is in the middle foundation of the mall. As compared from the previous years, the security is so tight. The limitations in taking photos in the area seem overrated. I can't wait to bring my little niece to have her photos with the cast of Frozen. I am sure. Wide-open eyes will be the next thing to happen.

Mister Watch Repairman Shop

In Baguio City, it is inevitable to remember the old school days. A simple lifestyle diminishes as the years go by, the old folks could relate with the inquisitive changes in the modern world. When I was a toddler, I had seen the changes as the world become more complex state. A perfect example, a simple Baguio boy learns to live in a modest lifestyle and be happy to have wrist watch possession. If it is broken or need to be repaired, watch repairman is available to render his service on the street. You heard it right. All types of watches can be repaired without a doubt. Young generations would not be able to understand the value of simple livelihood that brings simple joy. At present, the repairmen of watches are still exist and continued to serve the people on the sidewalk. Glimpse of simple lifestyle that can never be forget in the city.

Long Time No Post Here

Hello my fellow bloggers and viewers, if there are any, it is been awhile that I have not posted anything here in my blog. I was too busy for the past few months because I had to work in an office-based as an online teacher. The office is just within my town so it was not really a hassle on my part t travel from home to the office. But after staying there for more than half a year, I then decided to work in the comforts of my home. I resigned from my work, I applied as a home-based online teacher. The work is just the same, the difference is that I am in my room and handles my own schedule.

Working online home-based, for that matter, is one of the options that we have right now. I have fellow batchmates that also do the same thing. I am starting to like it and I even encourage others to try this. Anyway, Christmas is fast approaching, so I have to work double time so I can save enough money for this season of merry making and gift-giving.

I am encouraging everyone who has a stable DSL connection at home to maximize your opportunity to earn at home because this will help you become productive and enhance your skills.

Oblation Run 2013

More than 30 members of APO fraternity ran naked with only paper mask covering their face on December 13 this year. It is an annual tradition of the brotherhood to commemorate their founding anniversary and, at the same time, use this famous naked run to echo out their stand among pressing issues happening to the country today.

This year's naked theme was about pushing better risk reduction management. A theme where every Filipino is affected due to the recent catastrophe happened in the Visayas region-- the havoc of Typhoon Haiyoon--which claimed thousands of life and left thousands homeless, injured and, others, still missing. The group would like to encourage and pushes the government to have better plans in times like this to avoid such sufferings in the future.

The naked man standing with all his might without hesitation is UP's symbol of selfless offering to the country. A bold call resonating to every Filipinos.

Cubao Expo 2013

The annual Christmas tree and lights decoration in Cubao never fails to bring happiness and enjoyment to anyone who passes by the area. Aside from the surrounding malls and dozens of night markets which mushroom overnight to cater the shoppers and visitors alike during the Yuletide season, the Christmas-themed light and display are the most awaited event every the last month of the year. This year, a seemingly mile-high Christmas tree decorated with hundreds of lights and everything green and red was placed at the very heart of Cubao. The decorative lights surrounding the place have the undersea theme and food stalls are everywhere. It is the perfect place to unwind after doing shopping and treat one's tummy to a yummy food fun fare.

Philippine Military Academy

After graduating from secondary level, those who aspire to serve the local government of the Philippines, either men or women, can pursue to enter the military but has to undergo the extensive selection process at the Philippine Military Academy. It is situated in Fort Gegorio del Pilar on Loakan Road.

I once witnessed the graduation ceremony on the field. The cadets boastfully and with might showed their military drill then all of a sudden surprised the audience as they performed the Macarena dance. Looking at them dance, from being stiff who then transformed to graceful and flexible dancers on every beat of the music was a wonderful sight to see.

A few steps along the way from the entrance, you have the chance to explore the place with so much enthusiasm. A museum can be found that exhibits remnants of weapons, tankers, aircraft and other war-related artifacts. It also tells the history and the contributions of past key men and women who have served the institution.

  

My Premiere on Television

After almost a year stint of doing volunteer work in Tajikistan as a Polio Rehabilitation Adviser and Coach, it took a while for me to adjust to my normal life back home. Living a modest life in a foreign land was quite challenging as it tests one's survival skill. Everything is different and one has no choice but to face it. It is a life changing experience on my part as it gives me another perspective in seeing life.

A local cable channel here in Baguio invited me and another co-volunteer, Lolita del Rosario, sometime in July 2012. The show is titled "Usapang Turismo hosted by Mr. Gaby Keith aired in Sky Cable. We were mainly invited to discuss about our experiences and to provide some tips to future volunteers.  Oh by the way, this was also my first time to be interviewed and appeared on local television.

Christmas Is Near!

Despite the unfortunate series of events that happened in our country lately, we, Filipinos, still mirror the symbols of hope and courage; characteristics that are contagious and are a must these days. In less than 30 days before Christmas, establishments around the summer capital of the Philippines are all prep up and laced with these colorful decorations and merry making songs are played almost everywhere. This only mark for the coming of that very special natal day of our Savior.

The scent of pine trees mixed with the cold breeze here in Baguio city only adds to that Christmas spirit everyone is looking forward during Yuletide season.  When I was roaming around the city one fine afternoon, I happened to pass by at SM Baguio and had the chance to see their annual Christmas decoration located at the very center of the mall. The red, green, and gold color abound the entire mall.

Families, friends, and everyone who happened to pass by the mall could not resist to stop and appreciate the wonderful and awe inspiring decorations prepared in front of them.

But let us all remember that the true meaning of Christmas is not just all about these shining and lavish decorations on this material world, but what is more important is the genuine heart that we are all willing to share to everyone.
