Happy Birthday, Jesus!

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us" -Matthew 1:23

Christmas is about giving and sharing.  For me, christmas is one of my favorite time because we could spend a great time and have fun with our whole family.  It is also a special season because it is the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ.

When Christmas break is approaching, we can see a big smile on every person's face.  

Everybody is looking forward for Christmas because of gifts, raffles, foods, and the family reunion.  Every  midnight of December 24, we always go to mass and we celebrate Noche Buena after the mass.  My parents, titos, titas, lolo, and lolas will give us gifts and money.  Then on December 25, we always gather and have a mini Christmas party at "Turod".  But Christmas is not only about foods and gifts.  Christmas is the time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.  He is our savior.  He sacrificed himself for us.  And as a gift for Him, we should give love and share blessings to other people.  In this, many people will be happy same goes to Him.  Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Stop, Now!

We all know that violence against women and children is one of the major problem that we are facing now a days.  There's still those countries that dominates women.  They violate and torture women and worst they are being neglected by the society.  As years passed, women had already the courage to voice out their rights as women.  That there is equality between male and female, that no one should be allowed to go under violence. 

And because of the inequality between men and women, GAD (Gender and Development) was made.

Gender and development is an interdisciplinary field of research and applied study that implements a feminist approach to understanding and addressing the disparate impact that economic development and globalization have on people based upon their location, gender, class background, and other socio-political identities.  

In the eyes of God, we are all equal because he made us all equal from the very start.  We shall protect our own rights as women and love one another to gain peace.
