In the Philippines, we have quite a long Christmas celebration. We usually start in September and conclude in January.
In December alone, we have the Feast of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (patroness of the Philippines), then we have the Misa de Gallo (nine mornings prior to Christmas), Christmas day and Rizal Day on the 30th (Jose Rizal, our National Hero). We also have birthday celebrations almost every day of the month. That's maybe one of the reasons for the weight gain in this season. Happy holidays !BBH !LOLZ

It seems it is a great month for you there in the Philippines.
It's a crazy thing you start celebrating Christmas as soon as September, why is that?
Yes it is. The neighbors would play Christmas songs on the 1st day of September.
It's the time of the year that sugar centrals start milling and producing sugar. People have jobs and the economy starts to flourish again after months of tiempos muertos
That's a good thing to hear, but it would be better if there were good times all year.
Also, do you speak Spanish in the Philippines?
Spain occupied the Philippines for 3 centuries (around the same time with Mexico). Then Americans liberated us. Currently we have US English as our second language and Spanish is deeply ingrained in our vocabulary. !BBH !LOLZ
Ohh, interesting. I didn't know that. So you usually speak three languages?
We have many languages but generally we speak 3 languages. English, Filipino (National language), and the local language which usually depends on the which island one lives and we have more than 7 thousand islands 😅
What? That's crazy. And you have different languages for each island? Aren't they the same language with different dialect?

In other words, there you have to be prepared to gain weight. I guess the rest of the year you have to be at the Gym.
Merry Christmas!
We starve the rest of the year😂
Going to the gym (getting fit) is always on top of everyone's NY resolution but most of the time it stays on the list😅.
Thanks for dropping by bro !BBH !LOLZ
