And so that was Christmas, And what have you done? Another year over And a  new one just begun And so that was Christmas I hope you had fun The near and the dear one The old and the young. A very merry Christmas And a happy new year I hope it was a good one without any fear… Thanks to this John Lennon song for giving me the perfect set of words on how I wanted to wish or ask everyone during this holiday.  "How was your Christmas?" It also perfectly put into words what I am thinking as of this moment  that the year is about to end and the holiday cheers will soon fade away. I hope everyone out there had a good holiday!  Happy New Year everybody! Cheers! New Year’s Eve in Manila Philippines!  And oh just a thought… 349 days more and it will be Christmas once again.  Another reason to say CHEERS!

More so this time it i

As I step in Café Cesario at the Cebu-Mactan International Airport to have a quick breakfast before our flight back after a weekend trip, something caught my attention. This! In spite of my hunger, sleepy/heavy head caused by trying to catch an early morning flight, I can’t help but pause from my quick breakfast, stood up from my table and examine this piece that is hanging above the central ceiling of the café. Obviously it's a Christmas decoration but what caught my attention is how and what material it is made of.  It is made from disposable plastic cups and its craftsmanship really took my breath away.  My camera did not even give justice to this awesome piece but just the same I want to share it with you and so do with this quotation that I chanced upon… “And when we give each other Christmas gifts in His name, let us remember that He has given us the sun and the moon and the stars, and the earth with its forests and mountains and oceans—and all that lives and move
