Not anymore the Christmas I know well.


This post was originally uploaded on Jan. 2010, on my other blog.


Christmas always brings joy to the heart, not solely on the idea of gifts to receive, friends to meet, and a reunion to look up to, but, by just the way the cold wind blows, is already enough to send some excitement and hope for a better life ahead. How surprising that this Christmas season, here in the Philippines, is devoid of such a refreshing atmosphere. Clearly, it is one of the effects of climate change. Though the night is still cold, the feel of Christmas, however, is gone that without the songs and people talking about it, you could never know it is already Christmas time.


With or without that usual Christmas atmosphere, this year 2010 should be a challenge for us to better our lives.
