And it is Very very Soon!

-
When I awoke this morning, hubby was tagging after me to turn on the television, and I heard my first ever Christmas song this year, a Jingle Bell Rock Medley on the big screen.

I never imagined days could be very soon, as in very very soon, and it all just automatically popped into my heart and brain, it's September 1, and Christmas is just around the corner!

When Christmas is nearing, I get shivers. I am afraid, very afraid. Why? Oh well, I haven't had enough to spare yet for the Christmas shopping, huhuh, and wait, are those knocks from my godchildren already? They're coming?

Well, that's the beauty of Christmas. The giving, and the taking of course, oh come on, it's really nearing. I suggest we exchange gifts here in the blogosphere? Who wants to host? Not me, please!

So, woot! wooot!


Merry Christmas Everyone!

Oh, no no no! Sheng, it's much too early to think about Christmas! I think the stores around here rush it too much already. As soon as the kids are back in school, out come the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays. They certainly know how to stretch a day into a whole season! This explains why I'm already sick of Christmas by the time it gets here. LOL.

I think you have a great point, it does come fast.. too fast and it is so expensive. I am glad you reminded me of this because I should start buying little things here and there for the kids so I don't get tapped out at Christmas time.... You are so right! I cannot do any type of exchange because I am such a major procrastinator (Odette send me something FOREVER ago and I'm just now knitting her a scarf)... so, I don't want to join in anything and disappoint a soul. But, the exchange sounds like a great idea!

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e...

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion . ( via ) I have heard about this new landmark that Surallah boasts o...

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
