Good morning fellow hivers! It's me again your @langqt😉. Today I tell you what are my experiences on my day1, day2 and day3 in Simbang Gabi.
On the first day, we came to the church early in the morning. My older sister, my "ate", and my nephews started walking at 3:30 AM because the mass would start at 4:30 AM. We walked for almost an hour to reach the church.
We arrived at the church at 4:15 AM and saw that there were already a lot of people. Luckily, there were still available chairs.
Near the end of the mass, the little Santas performed a dance (para sa mga giduka). They were very cute, and they danced very well.
When the mass was finished (the mass exactly ended at 6:00 AM), my older sister, and my nephews went straight home because we were hungry. A lot of people attended the mass today.
On our way, we saw many birds on the electric wires. There were many birds, but some of them were covered by leaves.
These are all the people with me: my sister Vanessa, Juvan, Junessa, Joshua (my sister's children), Lance (my older brother's son), and Mery Ann (our neighbor).
We arrived at our house at 6:40 AM, after another 40 minutes of walking, hahaha.
On day 2 and day 3, we decided to go to church at night because there are fewer people and lots of vacant chairs.
We arrived early at the church, at 5:40 PM, and the mass started at 6:30 PM. We thought that many people would attend the night mass, but there were actually fewer people than in the morning. We waited for almost an hour.
During the mass, I didn't take many photos because a lot of different people was attended. And also I respect their privacy and to the priest. By the time the mass ended, we walked again with my companions.
That night, there were many of us, including my sister, nephews, and others named Rose, Johannah, Ema, Ryza, Jonalyn, Mary Ann, Menard, Apple, Nicole, and Cherry Mea. They are all my neighbors and friends.
What I like also at night mass was the moon. The moon was shine too cute🥹.
At the third day, it was so cloudy night. I thought it was going to rain but it's not. At that time we late a few minutes. We decided to sit in the side of entrance to the of church. But still the third day was less of people. There still a lot of available chairs.
At night mass not only people will attended, also animals. The dog was sit on the road behave, and the cat was under the truck. But when the mass was end, I can't find them, maybe they also go to their home.
And when we were going to home, we are so lucky. Our neighbor was drive a car (basta something Kaila namo😆). We came along with thim (naka hits mig sakay😆). And we almost pass through our drop point😆. It was so fun and memorable night.
Lesson learned and tips by the Priest
If you will go to Mass at early in the morning you must wake up early.
You must take a bath (para fresh tan awon😉).
You must sleep early.
You must wear a proper short, t-shirts or dress.
you must ate or drink a hot coffee (para naa ay energy)
Advantage and Disadvantage in attending early in the morning mass and night mass
base on my opinion
What are the advantages and disadvantages of attending early in morning mass?
The advantage is when you go home it better to walk. Why? Because walking is an exercise. And the heat of the sun was not to much hot. At the same time you got exercise you can get also a Vitamin C.
What are the disadvantages of attending early in the morning mass?
The disadvantage is less of sleep. For example me, I can't sleep early (na habit nanako). Their are time you can't listen to the priest because you already sleep.
What are the advantages of attending night mass?
The advantage of attending mass at night is you will prepared. The people is not too much so there is a lot of chair available.
What are the disadvantage of attending night mass?
The disadvantage is you walk at night. As we know that 8:00 PM is not good for the kids to walk at road in that time. Unless you have a motorcycle or car.
That's all my experience of 3 days of Simbang Gabi. I hope I can complete the 9 days of Simbang Gabi mass. And see you on my next update of Simbang Gabi.Thank you!
Notice I use grammarly to correct my grammar and to deliver my blog smoothly.
Your simbang gabi looks so festive. Just like you I have a hard time listening during the mass because I am often sleepy that time around. Anyways, hope you complete the 9 days and your prayers be answered.
Thank you maam @indayclara🫶
If you're an early riser, it would be better to go at early morning. Attending at night seems a good option for those awake at night but it could be dangerous too. Be careful mo! 🙂
