Looking For Gifts

It's Christmas hodiday once again and it's the time of the year of giving gifts and sharing your blessings. I'm away from my family and been busy with job that I am having trouble looking for gifts for them. Not only that, it's Christmas rush all over the town so malls are packed with people buying gifts for their families too. The traffic is expected to be heavy so by just thinking about it makes me think of not going to the malls. I need to find an alternative to look for gifts and buy them without having to experience caught in heavy traffic and making my way on a jampacked malls.

I search over the net and found several
online stores that I think might solve my problem. Buying gifts online is the best alternative there is. Well if your having trouble looking for online shop, shopwiki is the site for you. Just type on the search box what interrest you and it will lead you to wear you can purchase them. Not only that, thisonline search genius will give you information about the prouct, stuffs related to the product and most important where to shop for it. I think this is really one of the best alternative in looking and buying gifts.

In my case, since I have 2 kid brothers and since they love playing online games and stuff I'm eyeing on the
Nintendo Wii. Well everyone knows what Nintendo Wii is but what attracts me the most is the ability to go online and play online for free. I know this will be the perfect gift for them. Now what I have to do next is wait for my bonus to be able to purchase anything for the holiday.

Christmas Carol

Last December 20, 2007, a group of children came by our office to sing us Christmas songs. I didn't pay much attention to them because having children sing Christmas songs are not unusual and in fact you see them almost anywhere. But when one of my office-mates told me that those children are deaf and they came from a special school, I was intrigue as to how are they going to sing Christmas songs in a group. Then when they start to sing, my heart almost melt. I just can't describe the feeling hearing them sing and watching them dance. I was moved. There's nothing special about the song or how they sing it but there is something that I find so hard to pin-point what about their performance that really hit me. Then I realize I see hope and strong will in them. It was one of the best and most touching sight I've ever seen. Christmas spirit was totally felt that time.

Just look how happy and lively they were as they sang a couple of Christmas songs.

Here are some photos of them after their performance. I felt that I am so blessed that I have all my senses complete and yet most of us just ignore and forget that fact. While those children are doing their best to go on live like a normal person and forget that they are in fact deaf. Another lesson was learned that day.
