Movies for December 2015 :)

Merry Christmas, dearies!

First of all, I'm truly sorry for the major delays on this post.  I had a pretty crazy schedule the past few days and just getting myself back onto some sort of my normal routine. But I love this month nonetheless!

I don't know why, but December indeed is the happiest month as people claim. Studies also reveal that people actually are happier than usual on holidays. For me, it's the love month, not February. 

And December is all about MMFF or the Metro Manila Film Festival, so, hooray!

There are a lot of choices of movies to see this month and I know it's hard to pick just one from the list. You can also see the entire December movies, if you have all the time in the world. 

Once again, here is the list for December movies but remember, that the release time may change depending on the movie distributors.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

Get crazy with UFC Color Crazee Banana Catsup

“Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted.” -Garrison Keillor

Indeed, nothing is wasted. There's no such thing as overdoing it because kids grow up so fast and before you know it, they're all adults. Time is terrifyingly fast and sometimes we tend to spend too much of the present anxious to reach the future, and when we get there, what do we do? We wonder where the time went.
My dad passed away when I was in college but he spent most of his time with us. He was with us all the time and I truly appreciate all he did for us back then. And now it seems I spend much of my time trying to recreate the joy I myself experienced as a kid.

Even if I was too little to know or appreciate it and even if I was in a bad mood, I believe I am a better mother because I was exposed to so many good things. I commit to raising my 3, whether they appreciate it or not–similarly.
