We all are very aware that Christmas season is already here. All those decors are out on display already. Lights are shimmering-sparkling-aglow.ahaha Colorful surroundings and all the carolers are singing out loud just to receive coins from the people. We must not forget the unforgettable yummy delicious foods and magarang gifts. You know what I mean. ;p Then there is this “simbang-gabi” or '”9-mornings” which mostly Catholic Filipinos are willing to participate. They say it’s a preparation for the coming of the Savior. To be honest, I really think far from those other reason/s. The thing that got my interest: when you complete the “9-mornings” your wish will come……TRUE Hu-waaat! Well, that really got me going. I honestly done/completed once or thrice way back. One thing that I wish then was about my HS crush that we would end up together, the rest were random and common. Other than that, I never really understood it by heart. Total Fail :/
There were questions in my heart that are left unanswered before. Seriously, you don’t go to church and pray on your knees because of the things you wish you’ll have. But a lot. Everything really. This requires a very deep explanation which I think I am not knowledgeable enough but is willing to explain anyway. hehe (if you want to-go-ahead-ask-at your own risk ;p)
Well, I haven’t really mentioned from my past entries that I am Newly-Born-Again-Christian.I found and accepted Jesus as my personal savior. So my “9-mornings” then was a huge fail, personally. But now understanding Christmas on a very different view. With reasons, explanations and deeper thoughts. I feel renewed. I get to see the whole thing in a new perspective. -Being present and aiming for the wish to come true is just shallow.
I am writing this entry because my Aunt said that I should go to 9-mornings to make my wish come true. She wasn’t aware that I have my Jesus with me already. He’s surprising me everyday with different wishes of mine that came true. :D (even-unaware-wishes haha)
I am NEW. Celebrating this Christmas on a different way. :D A treasure/changed within myself. Thankful and so blessed for this year. Though there are reasons also to be sad and be gloom, but as a daughter of God I am capable of moving forward day by day. The one thing that everybody should know by heart- *Christmas is when the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ in the manger. *Christ Jesus at the age of 30 was baptized. *Jesus Christ died at the age of 33 on the cross.*Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. *He saved us humans from the dead. Through Him we’ve come to know that THERE IS ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN AFTER DEATH.

Just so you know my HS crush is now my boyfriend and we’ve been together for a very long time. He was an instrument of God that I am able to meet Jesus, this very Jesus in my heart. :D I won’t be that sorry that I am not going to 9-mornings starting this year, at least I have the full understanding already about Christmas. :D The joy of everlasting life in heaven after my stay here on earth. Who wanna join me? You? Oh, I know your hesitations. :D But God doesn’t want you to be harmed. So, come with me.
