fiesta fiesta!

well if your from the philippines you'd probably been in a fiesta. and since its summer
most of the fiestas fall during summertime.much more because its may.month of "santa cruzan" in honor of mama mary for us catholics. us christians being influenced by the spaniards celebrate fiestas.the word does resemble "festival","festivity" of some sort.
today we had lunch at the houses of my mom's co-teachers.three of the barangays in my place had their fiesta celebration today may 15(calibunan, comagascas and luna).
theirs lechon ( whole pig stuffed inside with edible grasses and smoked/barbequed whole),philippines is renowned for its delicious "lechon". and some mouth-watering fruit salad. and other pinoy delicacies. theirs fried chicken, "patatin", "afritada", menudo and other delicious native pinoy food. really this one cool festivity. you'd know if there's fiesta in a place here in the philippines,people swarm from other places/cities/towns/brgys. to that place and a large of them just walk in the streets to come into the homes of those they know or anyone willing to cater to them. for them to eat lunch/dinner. alot of videoke here and there sets the mood of the people. and tricycle(local transpo) travel in and out of that place. people seem to not mind the heat of the sun just to eat at the houses of the ones celebrating the fiesta in that place.
"banderitas" fill the streets up there in the posts. and oh for those who arent invited seem to contend themselves to go the church to light a candle especially for the patron who is celebrated for that fiesta. fiestas really are for the patron saint of that place.to give them honor for a wonderful harvest for some and for good health and intercession to God.
once in a santa cruzan, i think t'was the first time for our town that time to have a santa cruzan, i have been a consorte/"abay". t'was a fine moment for me,to be able to walk the streets of my town beside a beautiful lass. she's a sis of mine in the youth for christ and she needed someone for that occasion to "consorte". i feel honored that time.hehe.lol.


*even with the fiesta,my current mood for this week is im a bit in a haze because of some family problems.haay!if only i can blog it here just to pour it all out..well i just have to contend myself to talk it out with my bestfriend shiany.she understands me..and to my journal too. please pray for me during these times.haay.*
