Fiesta!

(updated)Talisay City. October 14th. at an internet cafe.

5:30pm (sir leo lastimosa is inside the cafe too writing his column for TF. he told me he was here for the live broadcast of TV Patrol from here, not in the cafe but near the Church, several meters away from here!)

outside, the vehicular and human traffic are amazing. the noise, great! well, you cant help it, it's fiesta here.

the drums are playing Viva Sta. Teresa! i guess Cardinal Vidal had just finished his holy mass and the procession is started (im itching to go out).

there are stalls of various merchandise in the sidewalks, i may check on them later.

but the bingo, aha, you wait i'll play tonight.

there's miss talisay city at 8pm, okay, i sure won't miss it.

if my friends would want it i might as well ride the horror train. i had this trauma one time when the "ghost" leaped to our train to our shock. gad!

im hungry, i have to go now to my friend's house for dinner.

be right back!

past 8pm

several minutes after the procession i went home in dumlog. and goodness just as i was on a corner i heard the drums about to get near where i was. so the procession was yet to pass at the street where i would be traversing (nagbike gani ko para madali kay traffic kayo. grrr)

so i waited for more than 10 mins.

finally, the street was cleared of the crowd of people but not of cars and trisikads.

i was back to pedaling the mountain bike i borrowed from my neighbor in poblacion (i still call them neighbors even if i dont live there anymore) when i saw my high school classmate driving a car. great! im sure she was thinking i would only be up to driving a mountain bike, never a car. ugh! i didnt even own the damn bike! (but we have 1 huh!) whatever! it's not about who's driving what but who's getting where (wait! im not getting anywhere. not yet. or not ever. waaaaah...)

at our place i exhausted what had been bothering my tummy. leche!

past 10pm

miss city of talisay 2005

my bet, candidate # 4 (she was really soooo kewl), did not even make it to the top 5 finalists.

im not gonna write about the winner, # 9. hmp!

however, the show was really great! they've got flying dancers, and other spectacular special effects. i was really entralled by all of it that when candidate # 11 collapsed i was still amazed thinking it was part of the show.

i was home at almost 1am.

what a day and an hour!
