3 Things I Don’t Want to Get This Christmas
Ilang araw na din ang nakalipas ng una ko tong makita sa blog ni GMTristan at ni dChen at naisip kong gayahin dahil ilang araw na lang pasko na.
3. Socks – Giving a college student (like me) a pair of sucks socks is just annoying, imagine how many pairs of socks I own?! My mom bought socks 5 pairs (black and white) like every semester not including the once that we bought for social functions. Just multiply 10(5 black and 5 white pairs of socks) by 6(6 semester) and you’ll get a freakin’ 60 pairs of socks that I can make into a big bag…more?
Quick Blog Tip: Concentrate on Doing Other Stuffs on the Holidays
I was checking my blog stats this morning when I noticed that my blog’s visits this past week was generally lower when compared to the average number of visits that I had during the previous weeks. I bet that this coming week won’t be any different because of the holidays. Yep, people are now taking the opportunity to relax and enjoy the vacation. I’m thinking of doing so too this coming Christmas!
But what if you don’t want to waste your time for the holidays and would rather go online than to go to your Ninong and Ninang’s house for the traditional Pamasko? Or what if you are not Catholic?
I suggest that instead of spending the week posting articles, it is better to concentrate on doing other stuffs that would be a benefit for your blog.

It was a triumph of symbols, Januar Yap writes of this sudden change of heart in his column. He concludes: “the Sumilao farmers simply cooked up something headline material.â€
And while this development is a reason for everyone to be happy, it is also sad to observe that marginalized sectors with legitimate demands have to walk a thousand kilometers so their concerns can be adequately addressed.
But it is a breakthrough, nonetheless. As the Inquirer editorial puts it:

Working at the center of the Makati Business district, it is often difficult to find food that is affordable and good at the same time. I recall being a frequent customer to the nearest McDonalds or KFC to avail of cheap fastfood but I had to walk quite a distance from the place where I work. And we all know how fried and oily food can affect your health and diet, not to mention your body weight.
So when different dining establishments started popping up around Ayala Avenue, it became a relief to be provided much needed alternatives to our daily McChicken meal.
