It's CHRISTMAS....shaRe anD LOve :)

It's cold outside and I can feel the breeze touching my skin already. This happened and it makes me remember something it reminds me of what month are we in. It's December, and Christmas is fast approaching. Christmas, this is the day our Jesus Christ was born. For us Filipinos, we always celebrate it in our special ways. And what makes our Christmas unique is that we celebrate it over the world the longest.

Despite the crisis we are having, we still are wanting to have something for Christmas. And this shows how we give importance to our Christmas Day. I was wondering before why do we have to celebrate Christmas, what does it signifies. But as I grew up and see the true meaning of Christmas, I came to realize that it is very important because Christmas season only happens once a year. It's the only time for us to spread humanity, unity and peace to everyone. The time of spreading care and love to our loved ones and the willingness to help, give and share to those who are in need. Christmas, it's in this season where people got very busy preparing for Christmas Celebration, preparing for lanterns, Christmas lights and Christmas decors. Wrapping gifts and share it during Christmas eve. But what's good in Christmas is that it's the only time everybody is united as one, the time for forgiveness and acceptance. It's the time for showing what we or how we care for others. It's giving and sharing part of ourselves to others. It's giving our hands to those who needs help providing the true essence and true spirit of Christmas.

So we should always make everyday, Christmas day. We should feel and spread the real and true essence and spirit of Christmas because it signifies oneness of our human race.

"Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino: Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon"

Thirty days of everything was gone. Many happenings had paired as time runs so fast, I do remember the things I made, the things that go and fade. As to our values and traits today, as time passes by, it slowly vanishes and fades. We all know that our trademark as Filipinos is our being hospitable, caring, loving and helpful. But the character trait of people nowadays are continuously changing.
It is with this month, month of November where we started our month with the candle lightning at the cemeteries which for me symbolizes the enlightening our ways and start of change. As the Values Club launch their theme, "Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino: Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon." Month of November remarks lots of happenings to our countrymen, and so with our schools, many contests were held which was attended by students of the school. Contest were those like sayawit competition, poster & slogan making contest, cookfest and kite flying. This contest's establish good traits and values for the student that despite of life challenges, we the students were taught to administer new and nice values and traits. Conducting Filipino Values Month is a great leap to Filipinos in lifting lives with values, good morals and camarederee in putting things into actions.
Filipinos really executes a good example of a good person. Filipinos really are helpful, caring, hospitable and not selfish. If and only if everyone of us are capable to show this kind of attitudes and camarederie, surely our country will be off to its nice situation. All in peace, no war, an ideal country with its ideal people. That's what a country has to save and I am longing for!
