It’s Christmas Time

Sheraton Hotel

We went here to visit/guide my dad’s friends when they visited not so long ago. They had a very festive display like the Christmas tree above.

Robinson’s Place Manila

They also went to a nearby mall to buy souvenirs to bring back home. There was also a very nice display going on there and we took some pictures with it.

They also had/have something going on outside the hotel which is very nice. Festive. Christmas is kind of different nowadays don’t you think? We’ve been talking about it at work and yeah, everything is different now, for sure. I liked the old times better so to speak. My lolo and I would go to my ninongs and ask for AGUINALDO. Bless my lolo. I wouldn’t know right away if they’re home or like hiding somewhere. LOL. Thank you for always accompanying me when I was younger. Now people would just PM/send messages to their godparents. Where’s the thrill? I remember being so happy receiving new bank notes from my ninongs! MALUTONG PA! Now, mamamasko nalang namemresyo pa! Wow ha! Not from personal experience though. Just saw it on Facebook. Bless my inaanaks!

We went to Clover Leaf Mall to watch The Mall the Merrier. The movie was actually very easy to watch. I like it. Nothing too heavy and yeah, I guess it’s either I like it very easy and like, very heavy. Anyways, watching movie has been a tradition to the family ever since. We don’t really celebrate Christmas/Eve anymore since my grandmother died. I mean, we used to but that kind of stopped. We just eat during Christmas Eve and on Christmas day, we just attend a mass and watch a movie afterwards. Not much of a celebration anymore I guess. It’s kind of sad though since I really miss that mini celebration we used to have. Like, relatives coming over and stuff. Carolers! We used to have a lot of them starting end of November up until January but now, I’ve only seen a couple. But oh well. My dad just passed and maybe that’s why it’s more depressing and stuff but it’ll pass. We’ll be back soon.
