This film is a fun and clever way to introduce to your kids the teaching of this Bible story. Jonah is chosen by God to go forth to Nineveh to prophesy its destruction. However, he avoided such duty and sailed to Tarshish instead. This led him to devastation and repentance as he was thrown away, swallowed by a whale for three days and three nights. The vegetable characters portraying the events have just made the telling adorable. 3.

By: Marc Felomino BarberThe cold rainy days are here, longer nights and shorter days, foggy mornings, the cold sea breeze from the coast, and Jose Mari Chan on the radio. That is right, Christmas is here! This is the time to enjoy this festive season with our families, friends, and loved ones. And now that Christmas is just right along the corner while the world is still alarmed of the current turmoil. We will show you how we can bide our time to find joy and fulfillment in this season.
Buying a new home is a promising investment or gift when trying for an upgraded lifestyle, especially during the Christmas season. The bonding of a family grows strong as Christmas Eve is getting nearer. We Filipinos are quite the enthusiast when it comes to decorating our houses. Most likely, we are gradually buying the things we need for our Noche Buenas. Also, make sure your gifts are starting to pile up under your Christmas tree for your nephews and nieces. Of course, Filipino Christmas would not be complete without the lanterns, Christmas lights, and other decorations hanging to make our Christmas even more festive. Now don out those red, green, and white decors as you decorate your yuletide Homes. We Filipinos are so eager that we began decorating our homes and establishments as early as September. Playing Christmas songs from our favorite meme of Jose Mari Chan is being played everywhere, be it online or offline. Better yet, take the festivities outside with your wide range of outdoor lights with whole trees and flashy lights. If you have not installed your Christmas decorations and adornments yet and you are short on a budget, that is not a problem. We Filipinos are quite the creative and crafty tinkers as there are many budget-friendly Christmas decorations available in markets, shops, malls, and even on the streets. Do-it-yourself (DIY) decorations are also options if you would rather spend your money on the Noche Buena more than the decorations. And there is no need to buy expensive and fancy decorations to do this. Not only can you make your home more beautiful, but you can also make it a family activity. Your home is the canvass, the decors are the paint, and you are the brush and the artist. This Christmas season will give the real estate industry a push to the edge as homes developers are providing homes with Yuletide spirits to our fellow Filipinos. A great home should have that cozy, endearing, nostalgic, and serene lifestyle. Here in Camella, we will provide that leisure to you on this Yuletide season. Buy one and surprise your family on moving one of our fit homes and be part of the Camella family. Find your favorite township, where you can feel safe and bloom.
