Attending the night gala before the 25th of Dec this year felt average. The seats were barely occupied, I wonder if its because of the weather? That's one, or probably just the location. I wonder what have happened to the prejudiced teens because they live to standby outside the church , flirting or texting instead of attending the mass. I wonder where are the vendors of the casa/households making puto-bumbong, bibingka, penoy at balot, we would definitely buy and lined-up for when the mass ended. Traditions are gradually changing the small details. Yet, the municipality streets remained the same.Christmas day is over! but the spirit lives on.
In a special place we reunited but this time I wasnt beside you.
I still sing, I still love the hymn.
You smiled back.
Mine directed to the man I chose.
I then realize, neither of our choices were wrong!
But those who left isn't privileged to execute the song.
