Celebrating Christmas ‘07













Christmas is all over the city. The cold breeze of the Northern Eastern monsoon is already chilling the evening. The sweet smell of the freshly baked bibingka and putobumbong is filling the atmosphere of the 9 days early Church mass. The different Christmas image decorations in every home, office and streets together with the colorful lights that brightens the dimness of the night were set. Truly, Christmas is already in the air. But it’s not only in our home that we can feel the yuletide spirit.

In Bulacan State University, the College of Information and Communication Technology in particular is also observing this most awaited season. Several BSIT and BIT students help in preparing for this. Most of them have set aside their pens, keyboards, mouse and replace it with scissors, glue, colored papers to show that they also have their artistic side. Every CICT room in the Integrated Building, Engineering Lobby, New Building, and Spratlys were decorated with lanterns, garlands, Christmas wreath, colorful papers and crepe papers that adds color and joy to the whole building. This aim to remind all the passing students that even they are away from their home; they can still feel that Christmas is just around.

Students together with CICT faculty were so much glad that even with their tight schedule, they still have time to help each other in decorating.

Truly, the Spirit of Christmas is everywhere, but remember that it is not how many decorations you have, it is not how much you spend for your gifts or how many gifts you received but the true reason why we are celebrating this season.
