this year, we were wiser-i`d like to think so- and more excited. we went to Malaybalay the day before the parade so we could have enough time to sleep and prepare for the parade the next day..well, half of the things planned pushed through like travelling ahead but the `enough time to sleep for the parade`-we kind of missed.
anyway, we failed to see the `ritual` of the natives because even if i heard marjo`s alarm snooze itself repeatedly for many minutes i purposefully did not wake anyone.hahahah! aside from the fact that it was really very early and it was not even 2 hours since we slept, i was too sacred to take a bath at dawn.i succeeded!yehey!
so we got up around 6. i realized it didn`t make a difference a few hours before. it was still very cold with fog around. nevertheless, i was too excited for the pictures so i just took a bath. believe me! it was really cold. it felt like anesthesia when the water dripped down on me..
we arrived just on time for the parade. it was AWESOME! i enjoyed very much watching the colorful floats pass by with the equally wonderful dancers showing off their tribe`s pride. there were a lot of people, i felt like i was just in cdo because almost everyone i saw were the same people i see back here.hehehehe
the booths were not as nice as last year though but, it was fine. we had more time watching over people in kaamulan grounds.
it was really nice to go some place sometime and not do anything but enjoy. it was more wonderful because this time around, i had someone to walk the grounds with, holding hands.
these are some of the pictures!
despite the terrible sunburn we all got, i enjoyed it very much!
and unlike my few souvenirs last year, this time i only got one-earrings!
till next year!
:D
