SMOKIN"
Philippine Christmas
Paskuhan
is the collective term for the fiestas celebrated during the month of
December. The Philippines celebrateds the longest Christmas season in
the world. Way back, Pope Sixtus V decreed that in the Philippines,
pre-Christmas dawn masses, known as the Simbang Gabi would be
held Dec. 16. The decree was in keeping with the nine-day festivals of
Filipinos to celebrate special occasions. It was also meant to give
farmers a chance to hear mass before setting outfor the fields.
Traditionally, on the first day of dawn mass, misa de gallo or simbang gabi,
the christmas lantern (parol) hung from windows to light the way of
early church goers. Stalls selling native delicacies like the bibingka, puto bumbong, salabat,
and others were put up in church courtyards. Christmas eve was a time
for family reunions. After midnight mass, the whole family gathered
together to partake of native and imported delicacies, known as noche buena
WHAT I LOVE WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES IN THE PHILIPPINES:
100 Best Things about being Pinoy
What is being a Pinoy all about--aside from pointing with our lips and having an action star for our President? We talked among ourselves and we tried to come up with the 100 best things about being a Noypi. Okay, okay! So, the idea is not so original, after all, the Philippine Sunday Inquirer Magazine already published their 100 Best Things in their centennial issue. But we tried to do this on our own, without referring to the SI's article (really!). We hope that these will make you smile and will make you laugh. Above all, we sincerely hope that these things will make you proud of being a Pinoy.
1. Simbang Gabi. Nine dawn masses during the Christmas season. Attended by the religious, the people with panata, the uzis, and the girl and boy watchers. Of course, Simbang Gabi is not complete without the mouth-watering bibingka and puto bumbong sold outside the church.
2. Tabô. An absolute way of identifying a kabayan in a foreign land.
3. Po at opo. Shows the importance and respect accorded to the elderly and the authority. Children in the Tagalog areas are taught (trained?) to say po and opo before and after every sentence.
4. Tingi-tingi. Where else can we buy one tablespoon of Star margarine, peanut butter, or matamis na bao? Or a 10 ml shampoo and a five gram toothpaste in a sachet?
5. Sawsawan. Patis, toyo at kalamansi, suka at sili. Spices up ordinary dishes and gives one freedom to experiment with various concoctions. What better way to stimulate the appetite? Hmmm!
6. San Miguel Beer. Considered to be one of the world's best. Para sa Pinoy, iba ang may pinagsamahan.
7. Kakanin. Puto, kutsinta, sapin-sapin, suman sa ibus, bibingka, puto bungbong, maja blanka, bico, atbp. What would fiestas, Pasko, Bagong Taon, at Pista ng Patay be without these native delicacies?

- When you're healthy on the inside, it
shows on the outside. A nutritious diet not only helps you shed
unwanted pounds, it improves skin clarity and tone.
1. Scrubbing your face until it’s squeaky clean. Using harsh and abrasive face cleansers not only strip the face of essential moisture, but also can actually exacerbate oily skin. If you wear heavy makeup during the day, use a makeup remover, like Pond's Clean Sweep Cleansing and Make-up Remover Towelettes before you wash your face. Oily skin types should stick with an oil-free and alcohol-free cleanser such as Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser, which will leave your skin will feel fresh and clean without overdrying.
In your 20s and 30s, sun damage isn’t as apparent, aside from the few freckles that may pop up on sunny days. As you get older, you may notice spots that don’t fade, or premature wrinkling, which are both signs of sun damage. At this point, a dermatologist should determine what steps to take. So to prevent all of this hassle, use an SPF 15 every day. If you are in high sun exposure, bump it up to SPF30 and wear a hat.
