Sunday, December 24, 2006The First Last Misa de Gallo  Galeng ng Sunday Club! At 3:30 in the morning, everyone was awake. Turns out we all pulled all-nighters just so we wouldn't have a hard time waking up, or worse, not wake up at all. So at about 3:50 am, Kuya Dondi picked us (Bam and I) up for Misa de Gallo.We went to mass at the Our Lady of Montefalco Church in Pasig. Parts of the church are still under construction, but the main structure is already built. Upon entrance into the compound lanterns in threes lined the wires, and lanterns also lined the driveway leading into the church. A giant Christmas tree made of lights stands at the front of the church, which is still under construction. Inside, the altar is positioned highly with a belen at the side.   It was a different experience for us, slightly provincial (but in the city) compared to the Santuario de San Antonio that we're used to. And because it was the last day of Misa de Gallo, as well as it was a Sunday mass, there were LOTS and LOTS of people that day. Some drawbacks: the mass was in Filipino, we were getting really sleepy, and we couldn't understand anything. So anyway, after taking pictures of the place (parang turista), we had breakfast. Kuya Dondi bought pandesal and spicy cheddar with paprika spread at Pan de Manila then we ate it at Valle 2 with blended milk. Yum!
