a good night

Noche Buena. Simbang Gabi. Misa de Gallo. All are cherished Filipino Christmas holiday traditions we hold warmly in our hearts. 

Simbang Gabi is the night mass Filipinos attend mass either late at night or in the early morning hours. It is a series of masses held daily for all nine days before Christmas. The belief holds that attending all nine masses will grant ones wish.

Simbang Gabi can also have a nine-day novena procession that is a reenactment of the nativity of Christ known as the Panunulúyan.

a renewed 2022

Paghidaet sa Bag-ong Tuig. Peace in the New Year.

This fine new year, may we all be showered with wealth and prosperity!

Yes, utterly and completely rich - wildly and unapologetically. Rich in love. Rich in life. Rich in connection.

With one another and all that really matters. Filled to the brim and bubbling over. With more and spilling over a lot.

Full of laughter, acceptance. With less worry, less sorrow, less loss.

Rich in renewed experience, of a whole new year!

Happy 2022, dear ones!
