Maybe he will be naughty and can't finish his hair cut . We were thinking for a suitable salon where he could have his first haircut. And of course, we want it to make it fun and memorable for him.

Misa de Gallo or Simbang Gabi

Image
According to Wikepedia, Misa de Gallo is the Spanish phrase for Midnight mass, more literally translated as "Rooster's Mass". It is said that the "Rooster's Mass" owes its name to the idea that a rooster would have been among the first witness of the birth of Jesus, and thus be the one to announce it. According to Wikipilipinas, Simbang Gabi is about three centuries old, having begun sometime in the 1700s. A Spanish friar gathered his flocks of farmers during harvest time - coinciding with the Christmas season - and together they gave thanks for the bountiful harvest. Group singing was encouraged during the gathering and a simple breakfast was served afterwards. From then on these farmers willingly observed those early mornings as a time for worship, and it became a tradition over time. Misa de Gallo usually celebrates during Christmas Season. In the Philippines, we usually celebrate nine day of dawn mass that starts on December 16 and ends on December ...

How to be wise?

1. Don't throw tissue, cigarette butts and other garbage, because flushing wastes water. Throw these into garbage cans instead. 2. Try to park your car on a grassy area when you wash it, so that the water you used for cleaning won't go to waste. This can flow into ground and water the plants. 3.When using the oven, preheat the oven for the minimum time needed. 4. Use a pressure cooker. This will reduce your cooking time by over 50% and keeps a higher temperature longer. 5. Watch TV together especially when your family watches one program at the same time. Other family has two TV and just watching the same program. This will less your electricity and it will also bring your family together. 6. Put your windows some tinted glass to reflect some heat away from the house
