Reflections on a Year about to unfold

As 2024 draws to a close, it invites us to pause and reflect on the journey we’ve lived, not just the milestones we’ve reached. The rush of life and fleeting holiday moments often obscure thedeeper truth that life’s essence isn’t in the big celebrations or accomplishments, but in the small,transformative moments—the struggles, doubts, and victories that have shaped us. This year has captured us, not only in the highlights but in the challenges that tested our resilience and pushed us to grow. We entered 2024 as one version of ourselves, and we’ll leave it as someone new. Whether through weathering storms, embracing stillness, or healing old wounds, every experience has added a layer to who we’ve become. Growth is messy and imperfect, but it’s the very process of transformation that makes it worthwhile.

As we look back on this year, we carry with us the lessons learned and the memories made—not as burdens, but as the foundation for who we are becoming. Just as a tattoo marksthe skin, these experiences are etched into our hearts. While the year may not have been perfect, we are grateful for the journey itself and the person it has helped us become. Let’s step into 2025 with hope, strength, and an understanding that the true value of any journey lies in the growth it brings. So, as we close this chapter, let us do so with gratitude for the past and anticipation for what’s next, knowing that the best is yet to come.

Timeless New Year Memories: Family

Another year is coming to an end
Celebrating it is always an enjoyment
The family gather together to celebrate—
A new year that is yet to come

The family prepares the food together,
As they gather when midnight is near
Playing, dancing, and singing to past the hour
When midnight comes everyone rejoice
Because another year has ended and have arrived

Stepping outside to witness the firecrackers
Flying and blooming in the beautiful sky
Watching them, always been mesmerized
Capturing it while the family smiles

How many years have past,
But this memories will surely last
The warmth inside the house
That makes the New Year so alive!

Truly family makes New Year special
A family that makes you feel belonged
Biological or not as long as you are chosen
Create more memories that will last forever

New year will never be the same as before
But one things is for sure you will always be there
Celebrating with the people who matters
And making it special with your presence

Uy, Angeleños! How’s life treating you so far? Malapit na ang bagong taon which only means one thing— panibagong New Year Resolution nanaman!

Well, mukhang perfect na timing mag-reflect sa ating next life goals habang kumakanta ng "All I want for Christmas is YOU" ni Mariah Carey. Pero wait— speaking of "you", p’wede naman nating unahin ang goals na gusto nating makamit para sa sarili natin.

Narito ang mga iilan na makakatulong para sa pagbabalanse sa ating iminimithi:

⌚ Magplano ng maayos sa oras
Gumamit ng planner o app tulad nang mga alarm, reminder, at notes para makapag organisa nang pagbabalanse sa iskedyul at mga gawain.

🏃🏻‍♂️ Unahin ang kalusugan
Siguraduhing may sapat na tulog, kumain ng tama, at maglaan ng oras para sa ehersisyo kahit sa simpleng pisikal na aktibidad tulad nang paglalakad.

💡 Palawakin ang kaalaman
Magbasa nang mga libro o manood ng mga bidyong pang-edukasyonal na makakatulong sa iyong kurso o sariling interes.

🫰🏻 Mag-ipon at mag-budget
Mabuting irekord ang pinansyal sa pagplano para masiguradong sapat ang pera para sa pang araw-araw na gastos at makapag patabi ng emergency funds.

🎭 Pangasiwaan ang stress
Maghanap ng paraang paghaharap nang mga negatibong nararanasan tulad ng pagsusulat, pag-usap sa kaibigan, o therapy kung kinakailangan.

🧘🏻‍♂️ Huwag kalimutang magpahinga
Bigyang halaga ang sarili o tinatawag na 'self-care' para mabigyang pahinga ang katawan at kaisipan at halimbawa ay ang meditation, mabagal na pagkilos, o panonood nang paboritong pelikula.

⚡ Matuto ng bagong talento
Subukan ang mga maiikling kurso o pagawaan na may kaugnayan sa iyong personal na interes, tulad ng mga programming, graphic design, o photography.

💼 Subukan sumali sa organisasyon o part-time na trabaho
Maghanap ng oportunidad na kaugnay sa iyong larangang interes, talento, at galing para sa karagdagan pang karanasan at kaalaman.

📚 Bumuo ng study techniques
Matutong mag-aral nang maaga, iwasan ang pagpupuyat, at pagpapalipas sa oras sa nalalapit na pagsusulit o aktibidad.

Malay mo 'di ba! This upcoming new year, matutuloy na ang mga “Bucket List” mo this 2025. Sana nga lang ay ‘wag na puro “Baket List” ang mangyari.

Oh, forda go na?

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | Unwrapping the Present of Christmas

There's something magical about the month of December in the Philippines. The parols twinkle like stars brought down to earth and the evening air carries the sweet harmony of carolers. As I watch people scurrying past the boutiques and shops, where they are carefully selecting gifts and checking their lists twice, I'm reminded of a moment from last year that still makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy.

An old woman who is wearing her best Christmas attire, including a Santa hat and little bells hanging around the hem of her jeans that jingle every time she takes a step, walked towards a street seller, each bell sounding the glee of her footsteps. The seller, who was unknowingly setting up his goods, with nimble fingers fumbling through the items displayed. She passed a little item wrapped in simple brown paper to him without a word. She insisted so warmly and honestly that the seller, who was obviously taken aback, had no choice but to accept it. His grizzled face began to gently light up with a smile as he finally embraced it.

It wasn't the present that I noticed, but the unguarded connection between two people who likely would never have spoken otherwise. In that short time, I felt the true spirit of the season that goes beyond religion and culture.

Even though many people find great meaning in Christmas, not everyone celebrates it, and that's okay. The universal language of goodwill that the holiday generates is more important than the holiday itself. Whether we're exchanging gifts under twinkling lights or sharing a meal on an ordinary day, these moments of genuine human connection remind us that, despite our differences, we're all humans who crave warmth and affection.

People from different walks of life bump into each other in cities and neighborhoods alike. While some are celebrating Christmas, there are people who may be observing some other traditions, while others may just be going about their everyday lives. Below the superficial differences, we all share the same need to belong, the need to fit in.

As the year comes to a close, we can perhaps learn something from that woman as well. The best thing we can give anyone is our heart, irrespective of who he or she is and what he or she believes. After all, the warmth of human connection knows no season.

Whether you're celebrating Christmas or just having a peaceful day on December 25th, keep in mind that every moment has the capacity to create a meaningful relationship. The most meaningful gifts are sometimes found in the simple acknowledgment of our common humanity rather than in presents.

After a year of eager anticipation, the moment we've all been waiting for has arrived—a Christmas Eve filled with togetherness and joy. As we gather around the table, sharing a bountiful feast, it's not just the delicious food that satisfies us, but the laughter and love that truly warm our hearts. These moments create lasting memories, treasured by children as they grow and look back on this special time.

Christmas is a celebration of love, and there's no greater joy than sharing it with family. Let’s come together to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, embracing the spirit of the season with festive feasts, gift-giving, and the joy of music—perhaps even a little karaoke!

"Mano po" to all our fellow Angeleños! 🧧🤭 Wishing you a blessed and joyful Christmas filled with love and unforgettable moments!

1 day to go before Christmas!

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | PAMANGAN PASKU: A GLIMPSE OF KAPAMPANGAN FLAVORS THIS CHRISTMAS EVE

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year…” This familiar song has been part of every Filipino’s Christmas playlist since the Ber months rolled in. Well, it’s a Filipino thing – celebrating Christmas as long as possible. From September decorating homes to January still lingering the holiday spirit, this is how Filipinos celebrate and value the Christmas season.

Many Filipinos consider Christmas Eve, also known as Noche Buena, as one of the most exciting parts of this season. This is the time when most are hosting gatherings with families and friends, homes lighting up colorful decorations and playing loud music or videoke, while wearing their color-themed shirts or aesthetic outfits, and showing up with gifts for everyone. But what truly makes Christmas Eve special is the feast laid out on the table.

One of the best places in the country to experience this side of Christmas is Pampanga. As the Philippines’ Christmas and Culinary Capital, Kapampangans make this celebration worthwhile by serving a variety of delectable delicacies, making the season even more magical. Still looking for dishes to cook for Christmas Eve? Here’s a quick walkthrough of some Kapampangan dishes served during Noche Buena:

Sisig

It is a very popular dish not just in Pampangan but in the Philippines – it can be found anywhere including food stalls, bars, and restaurants. This iconic dish consists of grilled pork ears, face or maskara, chicken liver, and onions. While it’s popular as pulutan or beer food, it can also be paired with rice.

Asadung Matua

It is a unique take on asado, this dish is made with whole pork rump or shoulder (kasim), tomato sauce, and calamansi juice. It’s often a crowd favorite, regularly served on special occasions like Christmas.

Ligang Pascu

It is not your typical nilaga or bulalo, Ligang Pascu is prepared with long-simmered ham bone, beef, pork, or chicken. It’s enhanced with potatoes, cabbage, saging saba, labanos, pechay, Baguio beans, white onions, and whole peppercorns, topped with generous slices of sang (onion leeks). Whether for Noche Buena or Media Noche, this dish serves as a social equalizer, bringing everyone to the table regardless of social class. It’s the perfect soup to serve for a midnight feast.

Bringi

Originating from northern Pampanga, it is a one-pot meal made with glutinous rice, chicken, and vegetables, wrapped in banana leaves. Its hearty and flavorful nature makes it a staple for all celebrations.

Calame

A favorite Kapampangan delicacy, calame is made with sticky rice and shaped like a cake. Preparing it requires time, patience, and effort. While some versions are simple rice cakes, others are enriched with ingredients like ube, adding more flavor and color.

These are only a glimpse of the dishes and desserts of Kapampangans during Noche Buena. Truly, there is a lot that can be served, but let us not forget about the true symbol of this festivity. More than just a midnight dinner, Noche Buena is a celebration that brings the families and communities together. It is also a commemoration of the night before the birth of Jesus Christ.

So, in every laughter shared, every unforgettable memories made, and every delicious food served – let us not forget the true spirit of this Christmas Eve. What do you think is the Kapampangan dish that has won your heart? For sure, choosing one might be difficult. But whatever it is, let’s raise our glasses and celebrate a season filled with joy and unforgettable flavors.

The Moon's Christmas Gaze

358 days have passed,
Two days until Christmas.
Among the stars,
I see the Earth,
Wrapped in dazzling lights.

From space, I can smell.
A scent I can't even tell,
A mixture of joy and sadness,
Of hope and excitement,
Of grief and endless madness.

I can hear the little prayer,
Whispers of wishes in the air,
Some full of faith, some full of plea,
Waiting for a miracle to happen
Underneath the Christmas tree.

In the quiet of the night,
I can feel the hearts that fight,
Battles of love, of loss, of cheer,
Each soul longing to conquer fear,
As Christmas draws ever so near.

I, the moon, am speaking.
The world below, both bright and dim,
Carries stories, both lost and grim,
Yet in this season, hearts are stirred,
For a Savior came to redeem.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | Ang Batang Ako at ang Pasko Ngayon

"Ikaw ang star ng Pasko!" Himig ng mga mumunting tinig ng mga nangangaroling, pinapatugtog ang tamburin na gawa sa mga tanzan at plastik na boteng may malilit na bato sa loob. Bakas sa kanilang mga ngiti ang kasiyahan sa mga barya-barya nilang nalilikom sa pagkanta.

Habang tinatahak ko ang landas pauwi sa amin, ay nasilayan ko ang batang may dalang bagong damit at sapatos. Bestida ito, at makulay... saktong-sakto upang maibida sa kanyang mga ninong at ninang. Nagnanais na mabigyan ng ampao na may lamang salaping ipambibili ng laruan.

Mga kumikislap at kumukutitap na palamuti at mga pailaw sa mga tahanan ng aming kapitbahay. Kabilaan ang "sale" sa mga mall o tianggehan man ‘yan. Malalanghap mo na ang masasarap na bibingka, p**o bumbong, at ang pagtunog ng kampana ng simbahan. Malapit na malapit na nga ang kapaskuhan.

Nang makarating ako sa amin, nagmano ako sa aking ina at dumiretso sa aking silid. Nagbihis at nagmadaling ayusin ang aking mga gamit. Hindi pa man nakapaghapunan dahil galing sa trabaho, ay kailangan ko pang kusutin ang nag-iisang pares ko ng uniporme, ipaghain ang sarili sa lamesa, at lilinisin pa ang aking kwarto.

Pagkatapos, naupo ako sa tabi ng bintana, nakatanaw sa tahimik na langit habang kinikindatan ng mga bituing nagniningning. Hawak ang tasa ng kape na gumigising sa aking diwa, hampas ng malamig na simoy ng hangin sa aking mukha, at kumawala ang mga patak ng luha mula sa aking mga mata.

Tulad ng mga luha na ito ay ang hindi ko namalayang paglipas ng panahon—mga tamis at kilig na dulot ng aking kabataan noon. Marahil totoo nga na ang Pasko ay para sa mga bata. Hindi para sa tulad kong ikahos sa buhay, kailangang magpagal at kumayod para makapaghanda ng simpleng pancit at hamon, maihapag sa lamesa sa darating na Noche Buena.

Dulot ng aking pagtangis, nadinig pala ito ng inay. Ako ay kanyang hinagkan, at mga luha ko ay pinunasan. Naramdaman ko ang init ng kanyang yakap, nagsilbing lunas sa puso at utak kong pagod at magulo, sa lungkot at pagdaramdam.

Ito pala ang totoong diwa ng kapaskuhan: Ang mabuhay sa piling ng mga taong totoo sa iyo, nagmamahal. Tumayo ako at ngumiti. Siya ay inalayan, inayos ang maliit na Christmas tree sa aming sala. Siya ay hinarap, at aking sinabi, "Ikaw ang totoong star ng aking Pasko." Ang natatanging ilaw at gabay, patungo sa kaginhawaan at tagumpay. Hindi na muling malulungkot, at ang batang ako at ang aking sarili ngayon ay mananatiling masaya.

Ultimate Holiday Checklist

Christmas is known as the season of giving. It’s when most of us take time to buy gifts for our relatives or loved ones. With less than 10 days left before Christmas, have you considered giving yourself some care?

Amid all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to forget about the most important person: you. That’s why we’ve put together a 5-day self-care guide to help you slow down, recharge, and truly savor the season.

1. Give yourself a break.
The holidays are a time for giving, so don’t forget to give yourself a break. After weeks or months of exhaustion, pausing to rest isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you recharge, you make space for joy and connection this season. You deserve it!

2. Reconnect with loved ones.
Christmas is about more than gifts—it’s a time to share love and peace. Take a moment to reconnect with friends and family, whether through a heartfelt conversation, a shared meal, or simply spending quality time together. These moments of connection create memories far more valuable than any present under the tree.

3. Learn something new.
Gift yourself the joy of discovery by learning something new. Try a holiday recipe, pick up a craft, or explore a skill you’ve always wanted to master. Learning keeps your mind engaged and gives you a sense of accomplishment, making it a meaningful way to care for yourself during the season.

4. Meditate.
Take time this season to pause, reflect, and heal. Meditation can help you release the stress of the past year and center yourself in the present. As you find peace within, start envisioning the fresh opportunities ahead. Allow yourself to heal and step into the new year with clarity, strength, and hope.

5. Forgive.
Christmas is a season of giving, and one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself is forgiveness. Let go of past hurts and free yourself from the weight of resentment. Forgiveness isn’t just for others—it’s for your own peace and clarity, allowing you to embrace the holiday season and enter the new year with a lighter heart.

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and connection, but how we choose to celebrate is entirely up to us. Whether you spend it with loved ones, quietly reflecting, or indulging in your favorite traditions, remember that you, too, deserve love and care—especially from yourself. After all, the best way to truly enjoy the season is by showing yourself the same love you so freely give to others.

Congratulations, Angeleños, as another semester flows beyond our grasp, a treasure trove of learnings left behind, shaping the essence of who you are today.

Let not our minds wander too far into the uncertain tomorrow, for the gift of now is a fleeting whisper, urging us to seize the moment. Embrace this sweet interlude, where joy blooms in the heart and anticipation dances on the horizon.

As the countdown to our joyous celebration begins, may every tick of the clock resonate with the laughter and warmth of the season that approaches—a gentle reminder that each passing day brings us closer to the festive embrace of Christmas and the dawning of a new year.

So, cherish this semester break, indulge in the magic of the present, and let your spirits soar high. Revel in the simplicity of each moment, for it is a precious gift.

Spreading Kindness at Villa Maria Integrated School

The City College of Angeles, the Association of Government Employees for a New and Dynamic Angeles City, the University of Santo Tomas, and Holy Family Academy joined forces for a heartwarming outreach at Villa Maria Integrated School, located in Porac's upland area. Gifts of groceries, school items, hygiene, and oral kits brought smiles to the wonderful Aeta students. The day was filled with heartfelt connections and gratitude, along with the Aeta student's traditional dance. It was a fulfilling reminder that simple acts of kindness can make a community feel such joy.
