here i go again, its feb already and all im thinking is my holiday. im focused now on finding the
cheapest airfare to the philippines. every year ganito ako because every year umuuwi tlga ako ng pinas. to be exact around
april and May. sa tuwing malapit na akong umuwi, nilalamon ako ng
excitement at ang masakit nun ay sobrang
tinatamad na kong mgtrabaho. ewan ko b, every year im always like this. the fact na wala pa nga akong ticket at exact date kung kailan ako uuwi.
i have so much plans on my mind right now,
that i cant sleep anymore..gggrrr! it sounds crazy but
its true. alam kong maraming mababago pguwi ko, maraming mangyayari, but im
ready for it. napaghandaan ko na at alam ko na rin ang gagawin ko.
the truth is, gusto ko na tlga umuwi matagal na..pero dhil
taghirap mode ako ngaun e, konting tiis muna. Damn! i want to relax, enjoy, party, see my friends and drink to the highest level..hahaha. i think i deserve it after 8months of
being away and
working so hard, i need a break.:D
sana lang, im praying that until its not yet time for me to go home, sana lng..wish ko lang e wag muna ako tamarin sa work..i nid money..let me concentrate first with my work..darating din ang time na mkakauwi na tlga ako..but still hindi ko tlga maitago ang
excitement ko!aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

boxing day: a traditional english holiday |
0 hits
Despite its name, Boxing Day, which is celebrated on December 26 in Great Britain, has nothing to do with pugilistic competition. Nor is it a day for people to return unwanted Christmas presents. While the exact origins of the holiday are obscure, it is likely that Boxing Day began in England during the Middle Ages.
Some historians say the holiday developed because servants were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit their families, their employers would present them with gift boxes.
Church Alms Boxes
Another theory is that the boxes placed in churches where parishioners deposited coins for the poor were opened and the contents distributed on December 26, which is also the Feast of St. Stephen.
As time went by, Boxing Day gift giving expanded to include those who had rendered a service during the previous year. This tradition survives today as people give presents to tradesmen, mail carriers, doormen, porters, and others who have helped them.
The Day after Christmas
Boxing Day is December 26, the day after Christmas, and is celebrated in Great Britain and in most areas settled by the English (the U.S. is the major exception), including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Bank Holidays
Boxing Day is just one of the British bank holidays recognized since 1871 that are observed by banks, government offices, and the post office. The others include Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, Whitmonday (the day after Pentecost), and the banking holiday on the first Monday in August.
St. Stephen's Martyrdom
The Feast of St. Stephen also takes place on December 26. St. Stephen was one of the seven original deacons of the Christian Church who were ordained by the Apostles to care for widows and the poor. For the success of his preaching and his devotion to Christ, St. Stephen was stoned to death by a mob. As he died, he begged God not to punish his killers.
