'Ber' months in the Philippines

ALl Saints day was quite a big holiday and there were lots of advisories about traffic that i received by SMS. As soon as midnight struck though, it felt like the Christmas decoration fever was fully unleashed and the street lights and building decorations multiplied.

What I discovered though was that a good place to enjoy the Christmas tres and decorations are the home section of department stores. So I went out chasing out after decorated trees.

SM City mall, Makati

It was quite pretty seeing the way they were decorated. I particularly enjoyed the oeverloaded trees, as they showcased different themes in luxurious ways.

My favourite decoration

 I specially loved the flowers decorating the trees, inciting you to sniff the fragrance of the tree and flower, which is obviously missing since everything is made of plastic and fabric. A suggestion tot he shop would be to add room fragrance...

Almost Easter tree

And then there is the preppy colored ones which turned the tree all sorts of pastel colors, ready for the Easter bunny.

Candy tree

And my guilty pleasure was the hunger inducing tree with all breakfast and sugar food. Something for the sweet tooth in us all.

Rainy season tree

The good thing about strolling among those trees was that it felt very flowery and summery, and it felt like I was indulging in a bit of escapism from the boring skyscrapers and construction sites all around me.

With that, it felt like a painting, and rather peaceful to look at.
