"Essence of Christmas"

Christmas Day is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus. For me, Christmas is a celebration, which includes spending time with my family, decorating the entire house, and shopping for the people I love. Doing this with the people I love is what means the most to me.
Spending time with our own family is the most important. During this time, we can express our thoughts and feelings to them. We usually exchange gifts, and have dinner in one long table. It's really a great pleasure to have this day because this is the day to express more the love we want to share to the others.
It's also fun decorating the entire house with Christmas tree, cute lanterns, unique belen and other Christmas decors. I enjoy putting these things together with my whole family.
Giving our own gifts to the one we love is very much exciting. We are trying our best to have our own budget for us to be able to buy something interesting. Even though we bought that very cheap thing, it means a lot. So, let us just not be choosy about the gifts we are receiving. Learn to be contented.
Imagine if Christmas doesn't exist. Do you think we can still achieve our happiness? Well, for me, we can still. Because anytime, we can be happy as Christmas Day as long as we want to.

"Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino: Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon"

As we all know, every month of November, there's a celebration that we used to give importance which is the All Souls' Day and All Saints' Days. With this celebration, we goes to the cemetery to visit our relatives who were gone and make some candle lighting. Month of November is also important to everyone not just because of this but also on this month, we are celebrating the so-called "Values Month". This year, the Values launched the theme, "Pagpapatibay ng Pagkataong Pilipino: Tugon sa Hamon ng Panahon".
Filipinos have different behaviors. And as we all know, we have good moral traits which prove that Filipinos are very nice. With the theme, I can say that all these past days of the year 2009, there were so many tragedies that made the people worried about. But let us all think that each of us experiences difficulties at all times. And let's just consider these tragedies as a challenge for everybody. Challenges which are the reasons for us to strengthen ourselves with our good morals and attitudes.
As to give happiness to the Values Month, the club held different activities inside the campus. "Sayawit, Cookfest, and Kite flying" are some of these. Students are expected o learn good attitudes from the said activities.
