Misa De Gallo Diaries: Day one

Its another year and Christmas is just a few days away from now and everyone is on the holiday rush nowadays. However in line with tradition, we do observe Misa de Gallo or simbang gabi. That is 9 night or mornings of masses like a novena for the day of Christmas. Actually I've been on and off this tradition however this year, I think it would be great to thank God for the graces I have recieved this year and make a complete 9 day devotion. Plus a good thing to do to totatly reflect on the days would be blogging. So it would be an adventure in each mass. I intend on going to several other parishes like a pilgrimage with a sense of anticipation of the birth of Jesus.





For day one I started it with the parish that I belong to, The Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Sta Mesa. This hundred year old church is actually not that I go to mass more frequently. However there would be times that I would reflect of wisdom taught by their priests. Father in his homily said it was also his tradition to facilitate the first simbang gabi. He said that its Ok to do a wish by doing the simbang gabi however we are given responsibilities that would actually help us in growing spiritually. He also said that our petitions or wishes must comply to conditions by the Lord, which they are of the right time and the will of God.
Yes many of us may now forget this tradition but I find it very refreshing even I still have a lot of problems and very tried from all the classes, meetings and all transactions that sucked out the life in me. Also I remembered something that I may need to be a blessing to others who have practically nothing . Either I could volunteer or offer some of the things that I could share. Well I maybe thinking too much but It feels good to do something not that its an obligation but the fact that it is your own personal intention and advocacy. Day two awaits, another gospel of salvation and affirms who I am today.

Why is grooming important?

Its very obvious that grooming is very important to everyone no matter if you are a boy or a girl. But we have different preferences and needs that would suit the body. That is why the need for grooming kits that are supplementary to the regular cleaning habits like soap, shampoo and brushing. So this is also the reason why there are a lot of grooming products that would be right for the type of body or face that you have. I believe you know about metrosexuals, the men who are very vain and would be willing to spend to look good, they are actually exponentially rising with males even with straight guys. But it is becoming integrated with the society today and we also see no issues with that at least good looking guys (like me) are on the rise. Grooming may look like a ancient ritual to some but it also shows the eagerness to look the best especially if you talk to different people everyday.

WOTL: Maala-ala mo kaya?

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN
of the things that just happened in the nation
calamities, controversies, and even scandals
we were furious about them in the past
but what about now
because we are not concerned?
no
because we forget too fast.

today is world AIDS day...

It has been decades but still this disease has no cure but still affects millions of people worldwide. Although there has been some reports of a vaccine being formulated, they are still raw and is below 50% success rate. Thus we pray for these research would be more successful in the following time. For now, we still need to continue to prevent and stop its spread all over the world. And here in the Philippines, there are less than 5000 people infected by AIDS, however we should not remain complacent since this can still infect a lot of people. So for this, we support and advocate the continuous efforts for prevention and the research for its cure and also pray for the victims to recover eventually until finally healed. For this day lets tie the red ribbon....

Blah Blah Blogs: Gat Andres Tribute

Its BONIFACIO DAY, a holiday, but what is the essence? You may know Andres Bonifacio as the brave Katipunero who fought for freedom of the Philippines. But there are more to Bonifacio other than his bolo and his shredded cedula. His lived a life not like Rizal with foreign education and women. He was immersed with self-education and hard work to support his family. He sold fans and canes for a living. He was also into theater as an actor. Many of us may not know that he is also a poet as he wrote several poem inspired with the books he have read and the people he looked up to. So when he organized the KKK or Katipunan, it was also a league of intelectual but with more options of going into revolution. Rizal actually did not support his actions since it was not the right time. But even without Rizal's support the revolution did pushed through and eventually led the country into independence. There was also an issue that Bonifacio was the first president de facto of the Republic and not Aguinaldo. There was also rumors and debates that Aguinaldo was the reason for the assasination of Bonifacio and his brother. And still these facts and rumors still exist. Even he might not be the official National Hero, I still consider him as one. Not that he is superior to Rizal or Aguinaldo but to the fact that his love for the country was really pure and made real changes, he did not let time pass by to act. He made sure that he can still prove to be called a worthy leader by his intelect, passion and intention. This these things are what the world needs as a characteristics of a leader. That's Bonifacio.
