Just to be sure
I look over the calendar and that’s it. It’s the first of September.
It’s the start
of the famous “ber” months. J J J
Maybe that is
why I woke up 2 hours earlier than my usual wake up time as if saying, “Giddy-up Thea! What you feel is not a typical
morning- dew frostiness it’s the Ber frost! Go outside and feel it!” And yes,
something is different; the cold is iciness that nips my skin in small stings
that my skin feels whenever touched by the holiday wind. My skin craves for it as
it brings back a surge of memories from my childhood back in La Union. Holiday
memories from my childhood, that is. The excitement of exchanging gifts (you
might never know what to receive) and the Christmas vacation are just some of
it.

There are still
116 days before Christmas but I know a lot of people already think about the
holidays now. Especially with the entry of the first ber month, in which to us
Filipinos is one of the reminders of this holiday. Christmas is just around the
corner but still is ages away. There are three more ‘ber’ months to do what we
need to do to fully enjoy the festivities that this much anticipated season
awaits us.
So before
thinking about the holidays and devotedly praying and wishing that if possible
it could come faster, I might as well do what is needed to be done now.
116 days from now... :)
