It’s the eve of Christmas, and let’s always remember what it’s truly about.

Tanghalang Pilipino closes out the year with the hilarious yet educational Christmas-themed play Lukot-Lukot, Bilog-Bilog, written by Eljay Castro Deldoc and directed by Abner Delina, Jr.

Happy birthday, Jesus!

Come together in every nation!

Christmas Eve is here once more, and may good cheer be upon us all.

Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to prepare for that than listening to awesome carols by some of my favorite singers, ever?

See you soon, Christmas!

I miss these ladies.

Christmas is just around the corner. For Filipinos, anyway.

Are you ready for those jingles yet? 😄
