To many here in Manila, it marks the start of the Christmas season. No kidding. Expect christmas carols played in the malls, jeeps and radio. I suspect it's a corporate conspiracy of lengthening Christmas for Filipinos to start saving up for their commercial offerings.
For us at home, it marks the birthdays of the new members of our family. Sister gave birth in SG to their firstborn baby girl on Sept 14 while wife gave birth in MNL to our firstborn boy on Sept 29. So this month is BIG!
We, well more like the wife, have been busy brewing whizits and whatsits galore. I do the creative implementation of her ideas. We haven't planned anything as big since our wedding too.
Wife came up with a unique theme for the party based on her favorite iPad game, Snoopy Street Fair. Watch out for the details we're cooking up!
Sadly though, we also remember our beloved uncle Pet. He passed away the same day our baby Matteo arrived. There's no better way to describe the feeling but bittersweet. Someday though, we hold on to the promise that we'll see him. Until then...
