"BER" months

on the first day of september, i heard a christmas song blasting from the cab radio. then on october 1st, a christmas song was being played at the mall. on both occasions, i found mylsef feeling giddy. they said that the philippines is the country where christmas is celebrated the longest. i guess that's true. we spend like half of the year celebrating the said season. despite this observation, the last few christmases haven't given me that festive mood.

but when i heard the songs on the first day of the BER months, i just had this gut feel that this year will be different.

this year will be much better.

i don't know the reason why, but the important thing is that i have rediscovered the true meaning of christmas. i feel like like a child again. christmas has once again become something that i'm looking forward to...and not something that i'm dreading....
