Sacred Event & Favorite Films

Sacred Event
Christmas is definitely one of the sacred events my family and I celebrate every year. As a Catholic, it's a day when Jesus Christ was born; a special day we re-celebrate his birthday. Some children also re-enact the events of the Nativity with animals to portray the event with more realism. A day full of blessings from family and friends, a reminder to be thankful everyday because God has given his only son. It's a special day where my family and I get together to celebrate and have a feast. It's a day full of love and happiness because that's what Jesus Christ brings into my family.  

Favorite Films
1. The Notebook
2. Taken
3. A Walk to Remember

Lambchop- Is A Woman

In the song, "Is A Woman" by Lambchop shows the life of a leaf. It's a song that shows a leaf trying to travel on a spring of water during the winter time. As the leaf travels along the water, there's time when it had to stay on a certain spot and  then continues again with life. As the leaf hits a new season, it leaves the cold water, and starts a new day with other the leaves as they continue with their journey to their final destination. As they reached their destination, a new whole life is born. What used to be a leafless tree is now finally bloomed with all the beautiful leaves. A new bloomed tree is born and a new season has begun.

Celestial Model & Sacred Center

Celestial Model
What's the meaning behind my name, Zyra Mae? When I asked my mom about it, she said she got it from the radio. She was listening to the radio at home and the name, Zyra, came up and at that time she was pregnant. My middle name, Mae, was chosen by her because she simply like the name and it goes along well with my first name. I was born in the Philippines, so I hear my name more often with the people who have the same ethnicity like mine. 

Sacred Center
One of the sacred centers is my room. It's a place where I can be separated from everyone whether from the outside world or people around me. I spent my majority time on my room when I'm at home and that is where you can usually find me. It's a special place where I can express my emotions whether I'm sad, depressed, angry, or disappointed. It's also a place where I can let my stress out just by putting my headphones on and just listen to the music all day long, a place where I feel safe and sound.
