Iloilo Trip in a 7-minute Video

Iloilo from Flery Ann Robles on Vimeo.

Day One: It rained all day. 

Day Two: Toto and Nene.

I exactly lived my childhood life like those kids; played in the lawn; sang my favorite song in chorus with my friends; made funny faces and laughed as if there's no tomorrow. 

Day Three: SEAFDEC adventure with Tito Cha.

Spent my third day at SEAFDEC (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development) Tigbauan. It was a fun fun day because I was able to see and to hold  different sea creatures. 

Tito Cha is a Marine Biologist and he told me that he dives at least thrice a month! Woah! And I asked him if I can join them next time. He told me that I need to get a diving license. Yes, diving license. I thought, everyone can dive anytime, anywhere before. LOL. He said that it's a two-week training which that costs Php 16,000!  All you can dive! 

Maybe you're wondering why I did not go to the beach. Well, my beach body is not yet ready. Hahahaha. 

Summer 2013, well spent! 

Church Hopping in Iloilo

  It's my 4th time  in Iloilo but it was my first time to do church hopping. My 4-day and 3-night vacation was somehow worth it because I was able to visit 4 different 400-year-old churches in the province. You will be awed by how intricate the details of the churches were. I was awed. Haha. 

Inside Jaro Metrolopolitan Cathedral

My favorite was The Parish of St. Anne at Molo. But I haven't visited Miag-ao and San Joaquin Church yet. 

Will go there again with my friends. 

I'll try to post my day-by-day adventure in Iloilo before May 29. 

Happy 3rd year, fleryberry! 

Bye! 

  

ALIWAN 2013

      It's my third time to see Aliwan here in Manila. 2011, I guess was the best because we were able to sit in a decent spot during the field demo at Quirino Grand Stand. And for me, last year's way better than this year's festival. 

Aliwan Festival is an event where you can experience Philippines' awesome culture at a time without buying any plane ticket and spending too much to see different traditions from Luzon to Mindanao.  

I haven't tasted mangoes from Zambales. But they say that they taste sweet like the girl's smile. 

Keep your head up, Manisan! (Manisan - muslim word for beautiful)
 I know the word by heart because that's what my Muslim friends would call me. Haha.

In terms of costume, music and other stuff, participants from Mindanao are the best! Why? Watch next year's Aliwan and you'll know the difference. 

Medyo strong si Kuya

 My favorite group from the beginning, since 2011, Iloilo's Dinagyang Festival.

Tika! (Peek-a-boo)

Hala! Tribu Panayanon, birahi! 

I thought I would enjoy this year's Aliwan because I already have my DSLR, but then, I need to find a photography guild to enjoy it more next year. I've been inviting my friends to come with me, but, they have some other things to do. So, better luck next time. Haha. And I guess, I need to read my DSLR's manual again because my photos were crappy. 

OFF TOPIC: While I was waiting for the event to start, a man asked  my phone number, I was caught off guard and I did not know what to do. News flash, I just gave my number to a stranger. Hahaha. Tangengo.
