Simbang Gabi @ Ayala Triangle + Symphony of Lights

I was really contemplating how will I push myself to get up in bed tomorrow, early in the morning, to attend the first of nine mornings of Simbang Gabi. Fortunately, Ate Boni, my dance mate from EMCI asked me to attend the anticipated mass in Ayala Triangle.

I tagged Ni (another dance mate) to join us and forgot she was Christian until it was homily portion. haha! Will get to the story later.

One of the most amazing thing happened to me, after about three years working in Makati, its my first time to witness the "Symphony of Lights" in Ayala Triangle. They played Christmas songs while the the Christmas Lights hanging from the trees danced to the tune of it.

It was magical. I took a video of it but since I have no time uploading, here are some beautiful YouTube links to watch:

Here is the official poster with the sponsors for the Symphony of Lights.

Hearing Mass with a Christian
I just laughed off when Ni started shaking his head out of disagreement with the priest while he was saying the homily. It was a certain father Gerry/Gerald who after a five-minute homily about how Santa Clause stole the limelight from Jesus Christ and how US commercialism brought about Santa, he gave us a ten minute plug (with powerpoint presentation) of his books about Christmas.

I was a bit shameful about this for Ni but good thing she was just laughing about it and was totally cool with us dragging her to the mass.

Nevertheless, I started the first night for Simbang Gabi!
And I am completely happy about it. I wish to complete the nine mornings and wish for a better 2012 for me and my family.

How about you? Are you targeting on completing the mass? What will you wish for then?
