Memories of Christmas Season

Christmas is a time of joy, celebration, and this past holiday season was no exception. The night before Christmas, my family and I kept things simple. We gathered around the dining table, enjoying a delicious meal together, sharing stories and laughter. After our meal, we settled down for the night, we didn't really waited for the Noche Buena and just went to bed.

On Christmas morning, the atmosphere felt something so familiar, it was exiting. We kicked off the day by playing games, a tradition that always brings us closer together. Luck was on my side and I won over a thousand pesos during our friendly competitions. The thrill of the games added an extra drop of joy to the day, and I felt grateful for the fun we shared as a family.

As December 29 approached, we prepared for a different kind of celebration. We traveled to Puro to partake in their fiesta.

Fast forward to December 31, the last day of the year, we woke up early to attend church. After the mass, we headed to the market to buy supplies for our New Year’s celebration. And for the next hours we waited and welcomed the new year.

World of Wonders (THEMATIC)

June the month of environment, a month-long celebration reminding us about the pressing need to resolve environmental problems we face, from climate change and pollution to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. It challenges us to reflect on our responsibilities toward the environment and to undertake steps to reduce our ecological footprint.

Certain things could initially appear little and straightforward, but when we gather all of these little parts and put them all together, they might become something larger. For example, unplugging appliances when they are not in use, by doing this simple thing we can conserve and save electricity. Another way I contributed to the environment is of course planting. Planting helps not only us humans, but also animals. Plants have many benifits, such as it serves as a shade for a hot day, it gives fresh air that clears out bad gasses, etc. Third, by choos...

Happy Valentine's Day! : Celebrating Success, while they're celebrating Affection

Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, is a special day for showing love and affection to partners, friends, and family. It has roots in the story of Saint Valentine, but today it reminds us to appreciate our relationships and share our feelings. As Valentine's Day approaches, many people look for gifts, especially flowers. While roses and traditional flowers are popular, I have found my own way to celebrate this day that has also made me successful. Instead of selling regular flowers, My sister and I create and sell flowers made from crocheted yarn, satin, and fuzzy wires. Each flower is made special. The money we earn makes us feel delighted but the real joy comes from when someone chooses our flowers to show their love. It Somewhats makes me feel proud and happy.
