It has been Makati City’s annual tradition of
lighting their streets with Christmas lights and decorations. The most
remarkable amongst the street is Ayala Avenue. The island is full of bright
white lights in different artistic decorations. Buildings around the area are also
geared up putting huge Christmas decorations positioned in front of it. No
wonder Makati is one of the brightest cities during this yuletide season.
On the other hand, Ayala Gardens is back alive.
The Symphony of Lights and Sounds once again ready to give entertainment. I
wasn’t able to watch the first lights and sounds on November 16 and only heard
it across networking sites that it has been started.
Last night, I was able to witness how dazzling
it is. I thought I was late but luckily I was able to catch the last show. A
lot of people patiently waiting, so I know there's one more. Nevertheless
the show displays every day, starting from 6PM to 9PM. The enchanting lights
and sound comes on 30 minutes interval and it will last until December 30. As
per management, in cases of bad weather condition, the show will be postponed
and resume whenever the weather is safe and sound.
Last year I was able to watched the show and I
guess from my own opinion it was way better. The only difference about this
year is the floating effect of Christmas balls and the teardrops lights. But
anyway, the most important is the spirit of Christmas thru their harmony of lights and
sound. It's still good.
