Even though I finished a degree in Philosophy in my Bachelor's, I'll still pursue it in the Graduate school and beyond because of love. I know, it's a corny reason, but love makes you corny, and loving wisdom makes me corny, so sue me.

Anywho, as the days pass and I grow older in this discipline, I realize the extent of my own stupidity. And realizing how big are these gaps, my appetite for knowledge is whetted all the more.

You see, the battle against ignorance and suffering is a life-long battle, and our only consolation, aside of course having the good life, is an ice-cold beer by the end of every week. Cheers.

Since Wikipedia wouldn't simply do.

SIMBANG GABI SA CCP

THE Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) will hold Misa de Gallo (dawn mass) or Simbang Gabi from December 16 to 24, 2011, 5am at the CCP Main Ramp.

Being one of the longest and most popular Filipino traditions in the country, the Simbang Gabi is a nine-day novena to the Blessed Mother which starts on December 16 early morning and culminates with a midnight mass on December 24. It is said that its roots began in Mexico in 1587, where the Pope granted the petition of Fray Diego de Soria, prior of the convent of San Agustin Acolman, to hold Christmas mass outdoors since the Church could not accommodate the many people attending the evening mass

The Simbang Gabi @ d’CCP is held in cooperation with Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, with various agencies participating as hermanas such as Gloriamaris Restaurant, Orchid Garden Suites Hotel, Philippine Navy, Philippine International Convention Center, Manila Broadcasting Company/Star City, Ticketworld, Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines, Amazing Philippine Theater, Harbour Square, Senate Spouses Foundation, and the CCP Complex Employees’ Organization, among other sponsors. A Misa de Aguinaldo will also be held on December 24 / 9pm, at the CCP Ramp.

For more information, please call the CCP Theater Operations Department’s Venue Management Division at (632)832-1125 loc. 1412/1413.
