It’s The First Sunday of Advent

I think I need another eye refraction. I was eyeing the optical shop yesterday while I had the battery of my wrist watched changed. Sometimes I get eye strain while reading and typing in small fonts.

I have just customized my blog. I changed the background color, used the default  them font and changed to PT Serif in huge letters. Hence, this. I could see my blog posts clearly now. It’s kind of difficult to read other themes where the colors are so pale  and small.  PT  Serif is a little nicer though.  Maybe, I’ll have this in the next few months or a year.

Josef and Jovy joined this morning’s MacDonald’s Stripes Run at BGC  (Bonifacio Global City) where they work.  Registration fee was P500 for the 3k event distance and that includes Race Bib, Stripes Run Shirt, 1 pair of Striped Socks and McDonald’s Breakfast Meal.  Fun runs are a  good exercise as long as you are fit enough to run a mile or two.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent.  They lighted the first  Advent candle during the mass. The word “Advent” is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming,” which is a translation of the Greek word parousia.  The Advent season lasts for four Sundays leading to the celebration of Christmas.  Last night,  I noticed  the absence of the little kids who  walk from house to house to do their bit of caroling. Never mind that sometimes they are out of tune. They bring old tin cans as accompaniments to their songs.  There were those times when the door bell would ring constantly  and you would hear loud voices greeting you “Merry Christmas”. It’s barely 22 days to go.

Happy  Sunday all.
