It is the time of the year again to celebrate the holiday season. And before we know it, it will approach very fast. At around 3 AM, while it was raining, I was on my way to work and I saw men working on mall entrance decor. Yes, the SM Mall is at it again. At around 12 PM, I came to eat my lunch at the mall and noticed that the decor has been put up. Christmas Countdown!

My apartment is just across SM. Neighboorhood of CCP and UERM. And I was admitted at UERM in 2013 and had laparoscopic surgery.

@rakski I worked in NCO / EGS from 2012 to 2014. Maybe we have crossed paths before. Hehe. I rented a small room at the back of UERM, I can hear the cries of the infants from the room. Then the Habagat came. The place was flooded so I decided to move to J Ruiz in 2013. And now I am back here near the river. Praying that no more flooding.

@jobelbojel We do not do a lot for the Christmas holidays. We will be only the two of us this year.

The SM here in Rosales used to have that kind of stuff last year. I wonder if they have it this year.

Maybe it is already up! I have never been to SM Rosales but have seen the mall building when I went home to Bugallon. Yes, supposedly Alaminos route but I attended some errands in Lingayen and the Alaminos, Bolinao buses were all full that time.

I do love Christmas, but right now I don't want to think about Christmas. I'm reading the book N0S4A2 by Joe Hill. It's about a vampire creature which had imagined a place called Christmasland where he kidnaps kids and make them into vampires.

Way too early for Christmas decorations! 100 days doesn't seem like a lot.

I think it’s their way of reminding people to start shopping for Christmas already.
