"Ber" na naman, o kay tulin ng araw...
There are many things worth celebrating this September. In the Catholic scene, the start of the "ber" months means Christmas is just around the corner! You start to hear Christmas jingles aired over the radio stations or morning television programs starting to count the days before the big commemoration day of Jesus' birth. Omg! I have to, as early as today, coordinate my choir's schedule to accommodate rehearsals for songs apt for the upcoming liturgical season.
Not only are we anticipating Advent and Christmas now that September has come, it's also Mama Mary's birthday on the 8th. I've been a Baclaran devotee since I was a kid and I always pray to her to help me intercede with Kuya and God. Our new parish priest, by the way, will be installed officially this 20th. I do hope I can grace the event together with the whole community of Deparo.
The Pope, earlier, also urged the youth to save planet Earth last September 1st even prompting the Italian Church to designate that day as Save Creation Day.

Next in line is the start of US TV's Fall Season program comebacks. Me thinks I can download all my favorite series and be ahead of everyone else in the family. Hurray for me! I can watch Ugly Betty, Heroes, and Prison Break without having to wait for its Philippine premiere. I don't know nga lang with Supernatural; haven't checked the CW site pa eh. I also need not worry about my electric bill (due to all the downloading I'll be doing) because of this report. I hope tama ang pagkakaintindi ko.

September also marks my first year anniversary here at Vox! My anniversary here was actually on the 1st; sadly, it's already past the date. However, it's not too late for a big celebration for me. Now, too, that I'm serious with blogging and documenting my life and thoughts online, I'm planning to do some choir management articles to jump-start my second year here in Vox. I hope it would be a great resource for choir managers alike. It's not that I want choir managing as a profession here in the Philippines; I just want to do my share in helping fellow choir heads be the best that they can be.

There might be no known Philippine holidays this September (as far as my memory goes) but it does not stop us, Filipinos, from celebrating festivals this month.

My parents are also celebrating their 31st (yata; I'm forgetful with math and that includes counting) wedding anniversary on the 9th! I'm happy to know that their marriage has lasted this long and I'm truly grateful that they set an example of a tested relationship that I can emulate once I settle down. I wish them more years of happy and fruitful marriage.
My cousin, Arnie, on the other hand, is celebrating his 13th feastday on the 24th! I wish him health and the will to learn in speaking in a correct manner. We still haven't really diagnosed his speech defect with a speech pathologist but we're doing all our darnest best to make him utter like normal people do.

According to my lola, the start of the "ber" months makes the days seem to go by faster than usual. Well, with all the things to be thankful for, there'd be little time to celebrate all of it. ^_^
