I will share here photos, taken on the Christmas Eve while having some fun with the kids, my cousins and relatives. My boyfriend gave me budget to buy toys and other gifts to share to them that made the Christmas merrier. I planned to gave the gifts after the Christmas Eve mass but it was changed because the kids always asking when they can get and open their gifts. So I gave their gifts just right before going to mass.
Misa de Gallo (Rooster's Mass) in the traditional Spanish and in Filipino as Simbang Gabi, or "Night Mass", this novena of Masses is the most important Filipino Christmas tradition. It will start tomorrow dawn so I need to go to bed early so i can wake up as early as 3am. The mass will be starting at 4am but needs to go earlier so we can still have seats. Simbang-gabi masses are expected to have a lot of church-goers. Going to mass this early for nine consecutive days is meant to show the churchgoer's devotion and faith as well as to heighten anticipation for the Nativity of Jesus. In traditional Filipino belief, however, completing the novena is also supposed to mean that God would grant the devotee's special wish or favour. See you at the church!hehe
Experienced rain shower today, but yesterday when we're at the Mall of Asia with my friends, it was raining so hard. They said it's because of the typhoon that was here in the country. We are still here at Friendly's US embassy for Guesthouse in Malate. But will be leaving here on November 12 and transfer to a hotel near the my friend's convenient when she will have her fiancee interview. The Celestine Hotel is located at Ermita street here in Malate, near the Ermita Shrine Church. Will give you more updates later..Bye for now..Happy blogging my friends!
