I haven't eaten my breakfast so I will have my late breakfast and early lunch. So lazy to cook so went out and grab my brunch to the nearest "Sinangag Station" it's a mini restaurant serving breakfast meals.

I'm so excited for my 2nd redemption that I forgot to take my breakfast and my tummy is gargling and mumbling for food. I ordered one of my favorites "Sisigsilog".

Sizling Sisig is a Filipino dish made from parts of pig’s head and liver, usually seasoned with calamansi and chili peppers served together with sunny side up egg and fried garlic rice so delicious and yummy.

I am full now burping for the yumminess of my BRUNCH.

Belen(a creche or nativity scene) can be seen in homes, churches, schools and even office buildings. The ones on office buildings can be extravagant, using different materials for the figures and using Christmas lights, parols, and painted background scenery.




Simbang Gabi(a series of nine masses) mostly Catholics,Filipino's begin a novena on December 16th.  Filipinos go to church at four o’clock in the morning and afterward have breakfast together. A traditional drink during this season is a warm ginger tea called salabat and a traditional treat is a flat but thick yellow rice cake called bibingka  not just at home but on almost every corner.On every block, especially the ones close to churches, there are food stands or stalls of these Pinoy Christmas goodies. And in the country side, a band might even play Christmas carols; medleys to awaken people and lure them to attend the service. On Christmas Eve, the final Christmas mass is celebrated with much ceremony, color and lights.

When I visited US 2 years ago I was really amazed with there Thanksgiving celebration since it's really a time off for them and they really prepared for this celebration like pot roast turkey is always present,pumpkin pies,mashed potatoes and gravy and a variety of thanksgiving food.But,what really amazed me is what they call "Black Friday".

I keep asking myself why is it called "Black" it's kind of creepy or scary for me. So it's for me to find out. Well, Black Friday in US is the biggest shopping day of the year I have a seen a lot of people waking up so early go to the stores of their choice and fall in line together with a huge crowd as early as 4 AM. Crazy right? but it's true because all of the prizes really goes down it's the biggest sale ever it's really the time to shop hoping to save on their Christmas shopping.

Now I know why is it called "Black" and there are a lot of reasons on it maybe because all of the prices goes down,it's the biggest sale of the year. It is called "Black" because a lot of shoppers will be emptying their pockets. The bad side is a lot of shoppers has led to chaotic scenes and outbreak of violence. Stampedes and shootings will always plagued the day and there is even a group of activist campaigning for a "Buy Nothing Day" to allow shop workers to spend more time with their families.

Whatever it is "Black Friday" you just have to be out in the midst of all of it. So shop til you drop because it's really exciting and just be careful for stampedes. Happy Shopping!

I don't believe in ghost. How about you do you believe in them?

I was raised with a strong and firm faith in God. My parents are very religious even them do not believe in such things they will just say it's a product of your imagination.

But, I have this bad experience once when me and my daughter move into a new place since it's nearer to my workplace. It was an abandoned old house for almost 10 years that we rented and the owners parents died and she needs to go back abroad because she migrated there. At first I was so happy since I rented the place so cheap and it's within the budget. The first 3 days was good we cleaned the house buy some things for decorations. Then I started working graveyard living my 8 month daughter to her nanny. Then unusual things happen when I got home I was informed by my nanny that she couldn't sleep since my daughter keeps on crying and there I found out a lot of bruises on my daughters body and I have her checked up on her doctor and everything is alright. So same routine need to work but every time I got home a lot of things happen like scratches on my daughters tummy and rashes on her legs it was a hell of a week for me then and I keep going back to my daughter's doctor and even them couldn't give me an answer. My nanny is already scared and told me that something bothering her every night that it's not only us living in that house as if someone is watching us and I don't believe her until one night since I'm off at work there I experienced the most terrifying night of my life. I woke up because my daughter keeps on crying I'm about to stand up to check her but what I saw is a black lady standing and staring on my daughter's crib couldn't see her face because her hair is long and somewhat it's silhouette. I wanted to scream but I can't I wanted to stand up but there's somewhat a force that stopping me so what I did is throw my pillow and then she vanished. I was really confused and feel blank that night and I say to myself maybe It was just a bad dream never said to anyone maybe they will say I'm crazy. But, after that every night unusual things happen and it keeps on happening every 3 AM there is one instance that I woke up a little black boy playing on my daughter's toys and there is also a black guy will just passed by 
while you're watching TV.

Even though I don't believe in them but now I can say they really exist the bad side is the ghost living in that house are black and evil. So I decided to move out since my daughter couldn't sleep at night and with the bruises and scratches maybe it's a sign that we need to get out and leave them in peace.
