Next to Halloween

CEBU, Philippines – People may be preoccupied with Halloween right now, the celebration being one of the most anticipated during the year. But a bigger, brighter celebration beams beyond Halloween - the Christmas season! Indeed, life is a series of seasons.

Even people's personal, everyday lives run in seasons. Retirement, for instance, is a season for slowing down. Recovering from an illness is a season for total healing - physical, psychological, even spiritual. Spending time with little nephews and nieces is a season for the little ones to stir up their creativity, to have more fun and to impress their dear adults.

Whatever the season, there's always a book to impart wisdom and inspire - always a good gift to give oneself or a loved one. OMF Lit Bookshop has over 30 new releases like "One Year Mini for Moms," "Your Career Roadmap," "Lovestruck: Sakit Edition" and "Now That You're Boss" to choose from. There are local and imported titles available, and books for as low as P50. More information at omfliterature on Facebook.

It is now time to think up inspiring presents for loved ones, for the season of giving sure comes after Halloween.
