Word of the Day
My students and I were discussing the concept of Simbang Gabi in class when one of them uttered a word that was actually new to my ear.
She said: "These days, people don't go to the Simbang Gabi. They go to the Simbang Gababes."
"Simbang Gababes," now that's a new word.
It apparently refers to young folks who go to the midnight mass and turn it into a soiree, making it a venue to meet potential girlfriends and boyfriends.
