Mornings are definitely getting colder.
I was pleasantly surprised. It was kind of foggy when we woke up. Officially, “amihan” is finally here. PAGASA has declared the start of the northeast winds a few days ago. We call it “hanging amihan”. It signals the end of the rainy season and the start of cold weather until February of next year.
I love this season. One would not need to worry about flash flooding or heavy downpours although based on experience, this is where we sometimes have late strong typhoons. The weather is good though, sunny and bright.
We are thinking of putting up the Christmas tree but we still have to buy new sets of lights to decorate it. So lazy to go out 🙂 They have changed the mall hours, it’s now from 11am to 11pm until January 15 of next year. So if you don’t want to be caught in the Christmas rush, you can do your Christmas shopping now. I did mine two weeks ago but I still need a few more for close friends. Some of us are planning a get-together one of these days of November. Fr. Lovell and I agreed to meet after Christmas. He is busy with work and we won’t be able to see each other if we don’t make time for it. I love meeting friends. I love the camaraderie it brings. I love getting in touch with each other. My close friends usually visit me here and I normally cook for them. Nothing that special, just good food to tide us over.
October has been a quiet one except for the days we went out for Nissa’s birthday and mine. It was just the family. Looking forward to Nate’s birthday but then he’ll probably celebrate it in school again just like last year where Nissa ordered food for his classmates and they had it for snack. Maybe we could go out again after his birthday or after Nissa’s and my son-in-law’s annual vacation (mandatory leaves) scheduled this month.
Of course, I am excited for Christmas, who would not be? xmasclock.com says it’s 51 days, 8 hours and 34 minutes to go before the day.
