Only goes to show how pervasive American media’s hold among young Filipino minds was at the middle of the last century. No use denying, it has become part of our collective memory now.

Here’s is an iconic rendering of an iconic Christmas song, iconically animated: httpss://goo.gl/UQzHlK

Haha, natawa ako. Malakas. Sa office.

I haven’t done a STITCH of shopping and am seriously thinking of camping out in Megamall on Saturday am and try to run through a list and get the essentials.

I had heard stories on the news but never a first person account of this happening. Thank you for the reminder in vigilance to keep the tree supervised, and so glad that crisis was averted for you!

I never turn on our Christmas lights unless we are there and only for 2-3 hours. And for exterior lights,I had a string of big colored light bulbs assembled with thick electric wires. Everyone: be safe this holiday season.
