HISTORY and CUSTOMS of HALLOWEEN TheHalloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? And how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual? The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year. One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended du...

Last September 25, Sunday. My kids attended the First Birthday Party of Cedrick, the youngest son of Cecil & Mon. The party was held in Pizza Hut, SM Sucat. It was a Costume party and the theme was Super Heroes so as you can see, my kuya Luigi is Superman and my Jule Jule bebe is Batman. As expected, my kids had their tantrums…haha! my kuya Luigi doesn’t want to join the games, doesn’t want to dance and doesn’t like the Clown…what’s new? Jule Jule as usual is sleepy…I know he’s supposed to be the Best in Costume because he’s the only one in Batman costume kaya lang inantok ang Jule Jule kaya tulog . Sayang ! And when the mascot appeared, ayaw na humiwalay ng mga anak ko sa ken …they really don’t like mascots… la tuloy kme picture with Pizza Pooch. Anyways, we really had fun…plus I got to see my friends from High School. I saw Oda with her big tummy, I think she’s on her fifth month already. Alex with his wife and kid were also there, Cathy by the way is also preggy. Homer and his...

Quotes on Being Happy Carl Jung :There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word "happy" would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. Orison Swett Marden : There is no investment you can make which will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer through your establishment. George Sand : There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. Epictetus : There is only one way to happiness, and that is cease worrying about the things which are beyond the power of our will. Euripides : There is something in the pang of change more than the heart can bear, unhappiness remembering happiness. Gelett Burgess :There is work that is work and there is play that is play; there is play that is work and work that is play. And in only one of these lies happiness. Anne Frank : Think of all the beauty still left around you and be ...

Tomorrow, AUGUST 13 , is the birthday of a very dear friend. I haven’t seen for quite sometime. I guess he’s busy taking care of his dad and I think that’s nice because he got to spend more time with his dad. The group has planned to pay him a visit and surprise him on his birthday. Sadly, I won’t be able to join them and I’m posting him on my blog instead. I had emailed some of our friends and ask them to say something about this guy and send it to me thru email. To update, as of 3:17pm I haven’t received any email from our friends…thanks for your cooperation guys! hmmmp! I just finished uploading some group photos and it’s the highlighted guy in the photos I’m talking about. Okay, it’s his birthday…so does this mean all the things I’m about to write here are all bright and beautiful? c’mon…okay, let’s start… Precioso Alibangbang- his full name. During high school days, he is called as Press . His sisters call him Pongky and for us, he is Pongx . If Aries is the big guy, Pongx is th...

A reposted article from an email I got this afternoon from Helen of Internal Audit… I just hope she wouldn’t mind…anyways, thanks Ms. Helen for this email! … Inspiring Thoughts...Lessons in Love A ninety-one year old woman died after living a long dignified life. When she met God she asked him something that had long bothered her. If Man was created in God's image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly? God replied that each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and God. This confused the woman, so God began to explain. When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours. When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreci...

there’s nothing to say…there’s nothing to write…because I AM NOT FEELING WELL … I got a bad cold and my head aches…can I go home now?

My Jule Jule bebe celebrated his First birthday last Saturday, July 16, 2005 . I really just can’t imagine how time run so fast…my bunso is already one year old! That also means that I’m getting old….arrggh! O well, no regrets though because I’m very much happy with my two kiddos… Happy Birthday, my Jule Jule bebe! Looking back, when I first knew that I was pregnant, I have to admit that I was not that excited as the first one because Luigi that time was only ten months old. It was really an accident. I quite had the guilt feeling that I won’t be able to give all the attention Luigi needs. My girlfriends Libay, who was also preggy that time and Merle told me that I should not be feeling that way because it’s not healthy for me and for the baby as well. I was conditioning myself that my second baby would be a girl. I was fond of wearing pink that time so many were saying it would be a girl. Though I’m conditioning myself that it would be a girl, deep inside of me, I knew it’s a boy un...

I forgot to greet a dear friend on his birthday…blame it on the two CS operations I went through… This friend of mine is one of my closest friends in high school. He tells me almost everything…I call him the big guy because of his built…the John Travolta look-a-like. His name is Aristotle Santos. It’s his birthday last Saturday, July 2. Aries has been the big brother of the group. I miss this guy so much…he’s been in Canada for years now with his wife and three kids. I thought of posting him on my blog to lessen my guilt… so I did. Will this bail me out from forgetting his big day? O well, I dunno…still I’m posting it though. I reposted some of his wife testimonials in Friendster so you could know something about him…and how much they love each other…without Apple’s permission…I just hope she wouldn’t mind… APPLE said :hey! my sweet.. my God i cant believe it, 10 years n pala tayong nag lolokohan he..he..he.. Anyways, I just want to thank you for always being there by my side, sharing...
