TGIF!!!

hey all...i see that some of us are blogging again!! that's AMAZING!!

today is a BEAUTIFUL day...i walked outside with no jacket on!! that's like the first time in weeks!!

anyhow, this will be just a quick hello...hope everyone's week was good!! i will blog again soon!!

Kiss Me I'm Irish

Tomorrow, March 17th, in Tayug, Pangasinan, Philippines, my home town, the town folks are going to celebrate what is called the Town Fiesta. In my time, town fiestas were celebrated with a parade featuring beauty queens on floats, procession of students from various schools from the villages, marching bands of all sorts, etc. There was also a dance or a formal ball in the town plaza. Visiting vaudeville shows, circuses, freaks shows, bingos, other small time gamblimg schemes, ferris wheels, everything one can think of were everywhere. In short, it's just like a regular small town carnival or county fair here in North America. People spend a bit of money to have fun.

Someday, I would like to go back there for vacation and join in the festivities. Perhaps it will just be like the good old days or maybe, a completely modernized event. In whatever form fiesta takes now, I am sure everybody still looks forward to it.

These town fiestas are celebrated on the dates where the town's patron saint is believed to be born or is simply associated, in any way, with such date. In the case of Tayug, the fiesta falls on March 17 because the town's patron saint is San Patricio. In case anyone does not recognize the saint's name, he is no other than St. Patrick. Yes, the same guy that the Irish venerate or drink to, as the case may be.

Come to think of it, that might make me and all Tayugenians, Irish. If that is so,

KISS ME, I'M IRISH!

Happy town fiesta, kailian. Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

what a week...and it's only wednesday!!

hey all...so it's been a little stressful around the house...mainly due to me being a gallivant!! well, the front plate on my ZOOM ZOOM was either stolen or lost!! i dunno!! anyhow, i re-called all my steps, but to no avail...so today i ended up going to the Police to file a report...then i went to the Ministry to get new plates...luckily i got an easy one to remember...even though i don't!! HA HA...anyhow, they were $20.00!! URGH!! so that's my day...i will blog again soon!!

Double Happy Birthday!!

Yet another milestone is to be celebrated today. And if we are fortunate, maybe two in one day. I am talking about Marjorie. (Anybody needs introduction?)

Today, March 15th, is Marjorie's Birthday. And to you Marjie:

Happy Birthday!

We wish you the best on this your Birthday. We hope you have many more to come.

Marjorie is also expecting, any day now, her and Paul's second child (brother of Mia). For this, we also pray for the baby's safe and easy delivery.

Love from Uncle J, Aunt Baby, cousins JBCA and the blogfolks.
