With Christmas around the corner, people prepare so many things to welcome the season.

Shopping for gifts, preparing food to be shared by family and friends at gatherings, decorating the house with holiday trimmings, we definitely do not scrimp when this time of the year is here.

After the season is over, what then?

Would people look back and spend time mulling what went right and what did not?

Can people think that perhaps they shouldn’t have eaten that much so they look much better in greeting the new year?

Would Trimspa help them in getting their shapes back?

We promise ourselves to do better next year.

I remember a favorite childhood song, “When Christmas time is over and presents are away, don’t be sad. There’ll be so much to treasure about this Christmas Eve and the fun we had…”

Whatever will transpire during this coming special holiday, it is important that people recognize the reason for the season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

My maternal side relatives are mostly farmers. They live near the farm land that they till, getting fresh produce for lunch or supper.

I remember as a child I used to go to my maternal grandparents home to spend weekend with them. During summers we would sit in my grandfather’s carabao-drawn cart to go to where the fresh produce can be had. We would get the sweet potatoes, gather vegetables like string beans, radishes, onions, garlic and other that I can’t remember what.

My grandfather had several carabaos then. I see other farmers have horses and cows but it was a mystery why my grandfather didn’t have them. Perhaps the upkeep is more expensive like having some horse supplements or maybe milking machine for the cows.

He didn’t also have pigs, although there were a number of chickens that are just left roaming around in the compound.

I miss those simple times when having a good run in the field and eating cold turnips were some of the thngs I looked forward to.

Greenwich Overloadeded Pizza.

Tastes good though it feels weird buying that kind of pizza and paying more OR buying this kind of pizza and paying less than its competition. And I am talking about just for a slice.

On the other hand, I am used to paying less with their food offerings but less the taste and toppings 😀

I’m rambling. Ok,  its yummy but lacks that certain smell from other pizza offerings from other stores.

I have blogged about motorcycles in different circumstances:

• This post had a photo about a family riding in one small motorcycle that spell disaster if ever a mistake is made.

• What about the Ducati motorcycle of Yellow Cab Pizza post?

• Some of the Batangas Racing Circuit photos that I posted? Yes, there were some superbikes there.

Motorcycles are here to stay, that s for sure. Nothing wrong there except some of the things that the riders do that get them in trouble. They ride fast. They don’t wear their helmets on their head but rather wear these on their arms/elbows (duh?). They ride with 2 other riders. They drive even if they are intoxicated,which is the leading cause of accidents in the country. They ride without safety gears.

So it is any surprise that in Asia, in the Philippines, motorcycle accidents happen day in and day out?
