Pasalamat Festival - La Carlota City

Pasalamat Festival Queen
We went to La Carlota City last April 29, 2007 for the Pasalamat Festival - based on the tradition of giving thanks to the Gods of the elements after a bountiful harvest by the ancients in “Buglas”. Our host is also our officemate - Fritz. La Carlota is more or less than 50km away from Bacolod City. As expected, there were so many food! I was not there for the food but for the street dance and also for the Pasalamat drumbeaters - which is, according to the locals, the highlight of the festival. I actually love the beat! The streetdance was expected to start around 2pm but it started around 3:45pm! Why? Because they waited for Loren Legarda!
I’m glad it didnt turn out like what happened to Panagbenga Festival.
Anyway, here’s some more photos that I took that day.

Baguio Panagbenga Festival 2007 - Pictures [Part 2]
by Birks on March 07, 2007 in Travel, Events, Photoblog
Where can you find fairies, princesses, ballerinas, and even the controversial couple Jollibee and Hetty in just one parade? (Oh, I forgot to mention — a whole bunch of politicians, too!) They were all present at the colorful float parade of the Baguio Panagbenga Festival last February 25, 2007.

Baguio Panagbenga Festival 2007
by Birks on March 06, 2007 in Travel, Events, Photoblog
February 24-25 was a weekend of flowers, colors, butterflies, jump shots, and nice cool weather! Koolitz and I, along with some friends went to Baguio to experience the Panagbenga Festival also known as the Flower Festival of Baguio. We watched the dance parade on Saturday and the float parade on Sunday. We didn’t really get to watch the whole dance parade though because there were soooo many people! That’s why on Sunday we were already on Session Road as early as 6:30am so we could find a good spot where we can take good pictures of the parade. I particularly loved the floats. I was awed as I watched so many colorful and pretty flowers pass by me. Ack, politicians were everywhere though, taking advantage of the festival to make their campaigns.

Our Zoobic Safari Adventure
by Birks on February 14, 2007 in Travel, Events, Photoblog
After witnessing the colorful hot air balloons at Clark, Pampanga, we headed for Subic to visit the Zoobic Safari. I was so excited to see tigers up-close. I hate cats but I don’t know why I like tigers. I just think they’re adorable. 
It was a looong trip going there, most especially that none of us really knew the way going to Zoobic so we kinda got lost a few times.
