CHRISTMAS IN PHILIPPINES

Christmas celebration in Philippines has a lot of activities and family affairs. Our country is said to be the world’s longest Christmas season for celebrating it as early as September last until third Sunday of January. Filipinos hand on Christmas decorations, buying early gifts; doing caroling, and preparing a lot for Christmas.
Every evening of this season, you will see beautiful lights and creative paroles, hearing Christmas songs along the way, and smelling different native delicacies offered by the vendors in the streets. Caroling starts in December. Children in small groups go from house to house to sing Christmas carols. Church choirs or youth groups also visit homes to perform great songs but unlike the traditional children’s caroling, they use the earnings for goodwill projects. On the day of Christmas, we attend Misa de Aguinaldo which is usually attended by the whole family. It is main reason of celebrating Jesus Christ’s birth for Catholics. It is like the main event of the year. We are also used to have Christmas parties in school, offices, or in family reunions. It may be on or before the Christmas day or sometimes happened in post-Christmas celebration too. Christmas season is indeed exciting and fun in Philippines but the real spirit of Christmas for Filipinos are sharing and loving.

    1. The setting for the short novel, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, is in the state of Mississippi, in the early 1930’s, which means that it is right during the middle of the Great Depression. I believe the setting is very important to the book because in Mississippi during those times there was a lot of racism and racial segregation, the African Americans people could not do the same things that Caucasian, white people could do. Also the setting is important because if they author had put the book set in a place like New York City the racism would not be the same as if she set the book in a place like Mississippi or really anywhere in the South. In addition the setting is important because if it had been set in the…

    In philosophical literature, Marquis argued that abortion was/is immoral, except only in rare exceptions, but more importantly he noted that prochoice and anti-abortion arguments cannot be symmetric thus making discussion on the topic quite a conundrum. Marquis purported the arguments of anti-abortionist, who asserted and believed that life is present at or from the moment of conception, and that fetuses look like babies, possess genetic code, and are therefore in possession of the qualities and attributes of being humans. While pro-choicers typically assert that fetuses are not persons as they are not rational agents or social beings. Marquis did however exclaim that anti- abortionist and pro-choicers arguments/beliefs exhibit two similarities,…

    The warm summer breeze pulled open my eyes. It was the dead of night and nobody was stirring except me. I walked over to the large tinted bay window, the source of the warm Venetian breeze. Even though my eyes were still heavy with sleep, I could still make out the wonderful view. The thick, almost swampy, polluted canal had been blue-green in the sunlight but had now turned as black as a crow’s feathers with nightfall. The boats danced on top of the water. The bridge hung over the water just high enough to let boats pass under it. To me the tall, majestic buildings framed my view. The buildings were as unique as kernels of popcorn not one building was identical. Some were as intricate as a butterfly’s wings while others were as plain as pebbles. I looked up to see that the sleeping sun was awakening, and as I went back to bed I knew this dark view of Venetian canal with it’s boats, buildings , and bridges is one I’ll never forget.…

    I push the door open. The bell rings, with a soft but shrill ring. A wave of rubber gloves and disinfectant masked with air freshener smells are in the air . Chairs are cluttered in the waiting room of the dentists. Clusters of magazines lie on the wood coffee tables, shiny bright plastic showing logos and slogans. A little way forward from where I stand is a desk. A smiling receptionist sits there. She seems to have been expecting someone somehow, as she points me to go wait near the couches and chairs.…

    An apartment is a self contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building. Apartments may be owned (by an owner/occupier) or rented (by tenants). My first apartment was located in Brooklyn in the Flatbush section. It was a small but very conveniently located third floor apartment in a elevator building. The building only had five floors with a see through glass lobby entrance. The building had a doorman that worked from four until midnight. He was a very pleasant middle aged gentleman with a carribean accent. The lobby had a sunken waiting area with black leather sofa and arm chairs that looked like they were bought in the 1960`s, but well maintained. When you came into the building in the evening you could smell the strong scents of all types of seasoning especially curry due to the Indian family living near the elevator. When riding the elevator up to my apartment it would shake from side to side and occasionally would hold someone captive until the elevator repairman came to get them out. My apartment was located on the third floor. It had a small foyer with a small closet to the left, a living room that measured 11 feet by 17 feet . It also had a very small kitchen that only one person could cook in at a time otherwise you would be constantly bumping into the other cook. Next to the small kitchen was a half size bathroom whose vanity mirror would steam up due to not having any windows or a proper working ventilation duct. When you came out the bathroom to your right was a small bedroom that you could only get a minimal amount of furniture in. Basically this apartment was in the shape of a box that was sectioned off into four areas. To make it into a home I started with the living room, I painted the walls chocolate brown and bought a sofa to match. The sofa was made of a furry material so I bought an orange chaise lounge to go with the sofa. I also bought earth tone curtains to mellow out the loud look of the orange chaise. I placed the orange chaise…
