Banderitas

The heat is on! Bring out the fans and umbrellas! Took another trip to the countryside. Summer promises to fool the disenchanted traveler. I even had Jayson ride the "padyak" for the first time. One weekend, two more towns have been conquered.

What makes a Fiesta? The overwhelming amount of food, dessert, gallons of beer, and the hospitality of town dwellers seem unreal when you think about the socio-economic situation. Well, who cares right about now? Men having beer bellies from the endless drinking and I'm growing one too from consuming...without the beer, of course! Everyone's jovial and satisfied even just for a moment.

Uy Leslie, I saw your Flickr account and saw the fiesta was at Masantol (ba?). My best friend lives there, Tina Lacap :) Small world pala!

hi leslie! saya fiestas no? we're going to pahiyas in quezon this sunday... looking forward to great sights and tons of food! =D

Aggie! Is Tina Lacap the daughter of the ex-mayor? Sounds familiar kasi. Secret lang toh pero alam mo bang nag muse pa ko sa silver jubilee ng mga Masantolenos. Si Tina yata yung sinundan ko na muse. Hehe.

Dionne, gusto ko nga magpunta dun eh. Di ko pa ne-eexperience ang pahiyas. Good for you!
