FIESTA 2013

In the PHILIPPINES, we have this tradition of celebrating the feast of a patron saint; WIKI defines the tradition way back when the SPANISH conquistadores arrived in the 1500’s where they arrival mounts a feast honoring the patron saint they bring that influence the country.  Nowadays FIESTA’s were celebrated to give thanks to the last year and celebrate the coming year with a feast; it’s a tradition that gives good luck to the new year.  Kinda like NEW YEAR but not on JANUARY first, more like CHINESE NEW YEAR, but the date differs depending on the patron saint.

Well so much on that, like the title said it was FIESTA 2013 on our old residence where I grew up, here in my current residence it’s on OCTOBER so you probably will read another blog about FIESTA 2013 – PART 02 on that month.  But I guess this FIESTA is better cause I get to mingle with my childhood friends and meet old acquaintances on the way.

Did you see how happy I am in the first pic, I did try my luck on this game “BASAGAN NG PALAYOK” its mainly hitting the pot hanging in the air with a stick as you make your way to it in blindfold, and to make this game more challenging you have to make round like about 3 to 5 times to dizzy your way on to the pot.  BTW I didn't break it, the girl after me does it, talk about woos.
