Dawn Mass


Time flies and it would be the start of Simbang Gabi and no one can stop it! Christmas is here:)

It’s been 3 years I been living in this tradition of attending Simbang Gabi. There would be times that I braved the cold breeze weather just to complete the 9-days novena mass but not a quite sacrifice for me. This is my only way to thank God for all the blessing he has given to me.

Simbang Gabi literal meaning in English is “Midnight or Evening Mass” but notably called Dawn Mass.  It is actually held 9 days before Christmas. It is noteworthy that the Simbang Gabi tradition continues regardless of where we are. What is important is what inside our hearts, a profound meaning to it, something about our faith in God. Simbang Gabi is celebrated during the advent season, we are actually requested to prepare and be watchful for the coming of the Messiah. Preparation   would entail good deeds, not limiting it to the family circle but to everyone, especially those in need.

I know it is difficult to be holy these days, and I for one is struggling very hard to be good and not to be bitch!

Let's try to exert our best efforts for a little change:)

I wish you all a Happy and Meaningful Advent!

Life is good!

    Like you, I used to have that tradition. I feel the need to sacrifice even a little para mafeel ko yung Pasko. But since night shift na ko, hindi ko na yan nagagawa.. So ibang forms nalang ng mini-sacrifice =)

    I salute you! go!

Gatsby Party!

As always, the anniversary party was held at Republiq club , Resort world Manila .  holding an anniversary party is a great way to recognize the hard working employees and such a great pleasure for me as  a part of the company who worked hard for my bills and other responsibility. lol This time it seems like a song resonates in my head after the party, it feels like a soundtrack in a movie but nevertheless it was a fun night.

Disconnected

  The Heritage Hotel and Stock Market Resto (Serendra)  It's not about what you do. It's about who you are.  It's not about who you are right now.  It's about who you could be.  It's not about what could go wrong. It's about what will go right.  It's not about listening. It's about getting up and dancing.    Life is good!  I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts. I'm back and happy:)

Single...love!

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching sappy romantic movies with ideal couple with guaranteed happy ending is such magical thou expected. I know this is terrible but there is something about them that just seem slightly attainable and relatable to our own life. Not all of us have been assigned a Mcdreamy in this lifetime. Yes! I still have a huge crush with Derek Christopher Shepher of Grey's Anatomy. I’m sorry guys. So you’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you weird, fat or you dress like out of nowhere or it’s not because you did not promptly follow the love chain letter instructions that you have to send it to 20 people close to you. You’re not single because your standards are way too high. It’s good to have standard at least you know what you like.  You’re not single because you did not learn enough from your past relationship or go out on a Friday night after work and have a bottle of beers with your guy office mates instead you ...
