Personal Blog of Econ Delos Santos

Since we don’t celebrate December 25 holiday, let me greet our fellow Catholics Season’s Greetings!

The first August post! And just like that, it’s our third month for this maricon ‘econ’ delos santos personal blog. How time flies indeed!

So, what’s up for August? Any holiday, birthday or other affairs for August? Well, from the top of my head, I think Tita Mariz’ birthday is this month, August 27… Also Manuel Quezon‘s birthday is August too!

About the blog… I have to keep this blog alive.. I have to keep the blog post longer that 3 sentences … Ate, make it at least 100 words ok.. ayus lang kahit non-sense… at least 70% English.. do that for another month and we are on our way!

Cheers! Happy August!

I am one proud Iglesia ni Cristo member!
