DO YOU KNOW?....

LAST SUNDAY NIGHT MY STUDENT IN MY TUTORIALS "FERN" WITH HER FAMILY ASK ME, ATE VENUS AND KUYA ALAN TO EAT DINNER OUTSIDE. AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO "LOTUS"- A KNOWN SUPERMARKET HERE IN THAILAND, TO BUY SOME GROCERIES. I PLAN TO BUY CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, BUT I DIDN'T. ALTHOUGH I SAW CHRISTMAS TREES INSIDE AND A FEW CHRISTMAS DECORS AND A CHRISTMAS LIGHT IN ONE CHRISTMAS TREE! DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY DON'T SELL CHRISTMAS LIGHTS YET AND EVEN CHRISTMAS TREE TOO? ONLY DISPLAYS!!! "YANG MAI MA", THEY SAID. IT MEANS TO SAY THEY DON'T HAVE IT YET.
THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAILAND AND PHILIPPINES OR TO ANY CHRISTIAN COUNTRY (FYI) WHEN IT COMES ON HOW DO WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS SEASON. I SELDOM SEEN CHRISTMAS LIGHTS HERE IN MY PROVINCE . WELL, CONSIDERING THAILAND IS 90% BUDDHIST. THAT'S WHY YOU WON'T FEEL CHRISTMAS SEASON MUCH HERE. COUNTING THE DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS MAKES ME MISS EVERYBODY OUT THERE. HOW MUCH MORE, WE HAVE CLASSES ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!! WELL I JUST SEEM TO MISSED HOME ALREADY, THOUGH I JUST SPENT MY VACATION LAST OCTOBER. ANYHOW, I HAVE CHRISTMAS SONGS EVERY MORNING I GET UP FROM SLEEP. HEHEHE.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL!!!
