Holidays

One thing I like about holidays here in Canada is that, THERE ARE A LOT! :)) and for me,
holiday = no classes. So more holidays = more days of no classes. How cool was that for a student like me!

But there are two things that I really miss being here in Canada. First is the 'carolling' where we always do before Christmas because every time we carol, we earn money to buy chocolates! Here in Canada, it is like impossible to do it for who can stand outside and sing a Christmas song on a -25 degrees up weather? But some Filipinos still carol. They sing inside the house which we experienced last year.

The second thing is fireworks every New Year. I don't know why fireworks are prohibited here in Canada but it is kind of sad. Fireworks can be really dangerous for those people who recklessly used them. In the Philippines, we celebrate New Year with an excessive amount of energy and happiness and greet the new year with smile. We use all kinds of materials just to produce loud sounds such as trumpet, cans, and drums, its a new year after all. How I wish I could experience that feeling here in Canada.
