Fiesta sa Amin

what do you know? we also celebrate fiesta here in CGS. the condominium association celebrates with the Our Lady of Fatima Parish just across the block where we are at. we woke up this morning to the sound of the band outside, and the loud music from the sound system at the gates (where the stage was set up). booths were set up the night before and participants in the tiangge were there early to put up their wares/ food displays.

                                       
                                       

managed to get down in time for the march/ parade of participants in the day's program. they have a competition for Ms. California, Mr. California, Maid in California, Cosplay and CGS Have Got Talent.

had fun watching the festivities and the throng gathering around to watch the Ati-Atihan, the parade, the program at the stage and just hopping from one booth to another.

                                      

 

well, here's what caught my eye:

and this is what i bought...   :-)  funky earrings for only P50. yipee!
                                     

even the Clubhouse table setting was ever colorful to go with the festive occasion.

truly, CGS is already a community all its own, with around 8,000 residents in its 7 clusters of 25 towers. and even with the residents' profile typically that of urban living, the Filipino culture of celebrating fiesta is still very much alive. i even saw some foreigner residents enjoying the day's festivities as well.
