Never gone to a Catholic church/mass here in Mesa. My husband attends a different church. However, I would want to attend a Catholic mass here. I was thinking that even if they will have "Simbang Gabi" I think I would be too lazy to get up so early and SO COLD in the morning :o I used to get up every morning at 8:30, at gusto ko pang matulog. Nakakatamad klima dito lalo na ngayon winter :(

Nagsimbang kami ng husband ko kasama mother in-law, sister-in-law at mga pamangkin niya sa may Thousand Oaks, CA last year. We spent Christmas with his family in LA. I met a lot of pinoys in Woodland Hills. Na-surprised ako dahil may simbang gabi doon (10pm to 11pm) sa church na yun and I was even more surprised na devoted Catholic ang aking mom-in-law. Meron mga simbahan doon na may simbang gabi.

Hokey Smoke!

Rocky: "Baby, are they still mad at us on VJ?"

Bullwinkle: "No, they are just confused."

I'm wondering if "Simbang Gabi" is only a Filipino-Catholic tradition or lahat ng Catholics. :huh: Anyone knows?
