Simbang Gabi Day 1.

Day 1: " Pagpabiling Kristohanon" Hay naku! Amidst my very, super duper busy schedule this year, still able to catch up the first day of the much awaited "Misa de Gallo"... thank God! still have the energy to wake up at 3 in the morning...yaay! yah! ang super aga tlaga! pero now lng ito kac mamya, the mass will be at 4 am na..yahoo!  and why so early? this is because of the annual lighting of the "Parols and Christmas lights" around the real trees in the parish...the tradition means so much to every parishioners in Maa. this is just but giving light to each and everyone who truly believes the coming of our savior...(drama woi!)

...the sacred altar can be viewed by people at the back using the LCD projector...

...we all together joined the count down as we all lighted the "Christmas Trees" d sponsors stand before their trees and did the switching on of the christmas lights...

hanep! ang galing namn ng kuha ko nito...sowe, so blurry, i just used the camera of my fon...;-)

...hinde tlaga to nawawala since i started attending 9 mornings in this parish...the lighting of candles...this symbolizes peace and St. Francis of Assisi is also a peace advocator and Patron of Peace...

...ayan my mukha pala ako dito, so sleepy kau ko bai...gggggrrrrr!

...and this is the traffic of church goers after the mass at around 5:30 am.

this is my day 1 experience, hopefully to post my remaining 8 mornings...
