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.

The Rain, A Reflection of Myself

Droplets falling, and falling. It is the rain that has been fascinating me due to its rhythmical sounds on the roof and soothing melody by soil downed out of the ground, as the smell lingers through the air. But on a much more profound level, though, the importance that the rain holds for me is that it mirrors who I am inside. It represents my feelings that is spilling over with thoughts and emotions. Just like the rain keeps falling from up abov e, so are the thoughts and emotions sometimes overwhelming inside me. At times, one does not know just how the rain is going to be, and just like that, confusion knocks on the door, and it can get out of hand. For a moment, the bright sunshine might come out, and before you know it, dark clouds gather and unleash their wrath. There, the same goes for my mood, it behaves just like that, smooth one moment, then starts to grow turbulent, and at that very moment, I get lost, and things happening around me make no sense.
