My family and I spend our Christmas together in the little abode - The Internet shop. We didn't go anywhere. My husband decided to close the shop on Christmas day. So, we will have time for each other and do the things as a family.

Guess, I miss being in a real house where there are no computers around. I just imagine and feel contented going around cleaning and washing clothes as a wife does for the family. While my husband was cleaning the parts of the personal computer in each cubicle. My son was busy on the computer watching animated series for kids.

The only thing I can't do is cooking for Christmas. We do not have a kitchen. But, there's a hospital kitchen nearby which is two doors away from the shop. If you are wondering, the Internet Shop is part of the hospital building. We are hesitant to use it. So, we decided to buy cooked foods from a restaurant. We bought food that's enough for us to eat.

Our food for the eve of Christmas was simple. It consists of a:

• medium-sized platter of Filipino-style (sweet) Spaghetti
• one whole Lechon Manok, it's a whole size of chicken cleaned, spiced and grilled on top of a charcoal ember. 
• A small platter of Pancit Bihon,   
• 2 Loaves of Bread
• 1 liter of Coca-cola

You're wearing a garb for the holiday with an elegant gift for a kris kringle or gift-giving to your love ones and friends. But wait! Check on the mirror, is your hair set for the season's party?

Fresh from the shower, you look attractive and yet it is momentary. Since we live in the tropics, it spoils our looks making us feel sweaty and smelly. The persistent changes of our weather makes our hair dry and delicate.

The school and college life is full of assignments. Each and every subject tends to have some or the other topics on which the assignments are meant to be done and various examinations and marks depend upon the assignments submitted by the students as asked by the teachers and professors. Doing an assignment involves in a lot of time, effort and creativity along with knowledge and planning.

It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year. From frenzied last-minute shopping sprees to multiple Christmas parties, we really can’t deny that the holidays are just around the corner. But, despite all the infectious merriment that the holidays bring, we also cannot deny the fact that all the stress the holiday season brings can absolutely take a toll on your skin with all the late-night partying, non-stop eating, and mad traffic we all have to deal with.
So how do we deal with these skin SOS and still be as glowing and youthful during the holidays?
