Celebration of all celebrations





Christmas has come around once more. It is a season of merry-making and rejoicing – “a celebration of all celebrations” of sorts to commemorate the birth of the most important person in history. But Christmas is not just about the birthday of God's son and that's not also the reason why we celebrate and honor Christmas better than our birthday or any important anniversary in the family. If God really wanted us to celebrate it that way, God would have schemed Jesus birth in the same fashion we celebrate it today. But He chose a simpler way to do things because He wanted us to celebrate the "essence" not the event.



Christmas is a time to see the world through the eyes of love. It's a time to remember that the world is made up of people like us and to see them for who they are inside. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving. It is a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God.




In today’s day and time, it is easy to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. Amidst the delicious meals, sweet drinks, lovely songs & dances, beautiful friends & family members we would come across this season, let’s try not to forget about the child, born on a winter night so cold, whose bed was made only of hay & animal food; our lord Jesus Christ, who taught us all what real, genuine & unconditional love is.

    true,this is nice.
    Christmas is not all about receiving and giving gifts, it's all about celebrating the birth of Christ and the time to see the world through the eyes of LOVE.

Why we are celebrating...

Why June 12 is always color red in our calendar? Why we don't have classes and all government offices are close during this day? It's simply because that day is a regular holiday of celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. Philippine Independence Day is one of the biggest holiday in  our country. We always celebrate this event because it symbolizes our freedom. It also symbolizes that we Filipino's are brave because we overcome all the challenges and all the wars. And one of the reason why we are celebrating this holiday is to give respect and gratitude to all our ancestors who fought people/countries who colonized us.  Before and during June 12 a lot of Philippine flags are hanging on the streets and in front of our building and other offices. It shows for our love for our country. Why do we do that practice just only when Independence Day come? We should love our country whether it is Independence Day or not. We should also help our fellow Filipinos to prot

Nutrition Month 2018:"Ugaliing magtanim sapat na nutrisyon aanihin"

"Ugaliing magtanim sapat na nutrisyon aanihin" for me, the theme means you need to plant vegetable and fruits in your backyards so that you will be physically and mentally healthy. We need to eat nutritious in order to reach the proper nutrition of our body. Proper nutrition is one of the most important element in our everyday life because it gives us energy to do our daily task. As we can see our generation now is far from old and simple life. We are now in modernized generation that they already forget to plant because we already have fast foods where foods foods are very expensive. Whether we admit it or not, we spend a lot of money in fast foods but those have only small nutrition. And according to some research study, our favorite , which is fries, hot dogs, and the other foods that we are eating in fast foods are the killer foods because it is not good in our body. So we need to have our own garden in our house. Some of us don't have wide space in our backyards be
