It’s December 14 already and on the 16th, Simbang Gabi would start already that is if you would attend the mass in the early morning. But if you will attend the mass in the evening, Simbang gabi would start on December 15. Are you ready for the Simbang gabi already? Are you planning on completing the Nine Novena Masses or simply simbang gabi? Have you ever completed it before?
As for me, I want to attend simbang gabi this year as its been awhile since the last time I completed it. I think the last time I was able to complete it happened when I was still in high school, so probably that was more than ten years ago. 
Ever since, I started working, I am not able to attend simbang gabi masses anymore.

I think I'm not ready, to be honest I'm not sure if I'll attend the mass. It has been 5 years since I the last time I did that tradition. They said that your wish will be granted if you had completed the mass, but to be honest I don't believe on that.

Oh thanks for this discussion, I'm somehow reminded that Simbang Gabi is just 2 days away from now. And I have still no plans whether to join this year and make my wishes come true or just sleep my butt off until morning comes. Well, i'm not really sure eh but I somehow need it since i'm currently unemployed. And, as what my classmate way back in high school told me that all your 3 wishes will come true for the next year, hmm maybe i'll think about it. I used to complete the Simbang Gabi way back in high school and I should say, all my three wishes came true. I was really amazed at how God works in myterious ways. hehe. Maybe this year, my first wish goes to my career, second to my love life and lastly to my future.hehe. Wish me luck then

I dunno. It's very tempting to sleep in in this weather. I don't even know if I'm gonna be awake enough to understand what the priest is saying. But definitely, my family will drag me to one as Christmas approaches. It's a family tradition after all.

I will surely attend a Simbang Gabi this morning. A lot of people will come to attend that mass. I have to wake up early so that I will be able to acquire seats. I like going to simbang gabi because I can feel that everyday I attend Simbang Gabi, Christ is in our hearts. Also, it is fun because we are with our friends, family and other people. There are also delicious puto prepared after the mass.

I am waiting for that and expecting again not to complete, hahaha... I am really into planning on how because I have a baby this time and in the place where I am, only at dawn. I will just do my best to really can attend the mass and to complete it this time. I am looking forward to really celebrate it.

I think I was able to complete it when I was a kid. But since high school up to now, I wasn't able to complete it. I wish I could attend the mass this year but the weather is tempting. I always like to go to sleep. Merry Christmas and Happy mylotting!

Actually, I haven't completed it yet in my entire life but every year, I wish to complete it. But I hear mass on the first day of Simbang Gabi and on Christmas Eve.

Last year i was able to complete the simbang gabi, done in the evening in the mall, where our office is. My wish was granted, though other might say it's coincidence. 
This year, i plan to attend the simbang gabi again. I hope i will be able to complete it again.
