Happy new year to all!
Let us all welcome the new year with new hopes, renewed enthusiasm and full of positivity that everything will be alright for us and for our families.
The past year should serve as inspiration, if it had been a good year, continue what you had started. If it was a sad one, do not lose hope, but be challenged to exert your best. Let all the negative things be part of a learning experience.
Let God be your guide, be an inspiration to face all the challenges ahead. Do not fear, as long as you know your heart is pure, full of good intentions; that you had not trampled upon the rights of other persons, all good things will come back to you. This is embodied in the saying :"What comes around, comes around."
Let us welcome the new year with all good things in mind, shun negative things.

Merry Christmas Everyone
Merry Christmas to all my online friends!
Today, December 25, we celebrate love and sharing, the real essence of Christmas; be it on December or some other months as stated in the Bible.
But though we celebrate it lavishly with all the new clothes, lots of food on the table, let us not forget the true meaning of this celebration, that God gave his Son to us to guide us (John 3:16).
Let us just concentrate on the positive things that Christmas brings: family reunions, sharing and caring for everyone. This is the time when families, though many are too busy with each others lives, take the time to gather and meet in a relative's house to share fun, have news from each other, get the children know their relatives, etc.
It is sad that with the passage of time, many families drift apart. Let us not allow this to happen. Children must know their lineage, they must be close to their relatives; help each other, guide each other. If families are strong and united, so does communities, and then society.
This Christmas, do not be sad if you have nothing to share your loved ones, but the best gift for them is, share your positivity.

Lighting Our Christmas Lantern
A home-based Mom should be a handy Jane to fix things at home while the husband is not at home and nobody can do it.
I was prodding my husband this past weekend to have the Christmas lantern tested, if it is still working. He did not remove it from our terrace since it was installed there two years ago. The Christmas lantern was made of capiz (shells) mounted on steel frame, and with different colored bulbs inside.
And since it is already December 16, start of the "Simbang Gabi" (Night Mass) but actually dawn Mass, I felt the need to have some "Christmas spirit" in our home. I just wanted a lantern to signify the star that the Three Wise Men followed as guide to find the Baby Jesus in the manger.
If it did not work (light up), I planned to buy a simple star to put in front of our home. So this morning, I connected the extension cord to the outlet, and then I switched it, and lo! it worked! It is still blinking beautifully.
I was so happy looking at the lighted Christmas lantern.
