Regada Water Festival 2008

Matagal na rin akong hindi nakakapunta sa Regada Water Festival Sa Cavite City. Wala na rin kasi yung mga dating kong nakakasama na magpunta dun eh. Masaya sana sa magpunta sa regada, masarap maglakad sa kalye habang binabasa ka ng mga tao, hindi naman nakakahiyang maglakad ng basa kasi lahat naman ng tao basa eh. 2005 pa pala yung huling nag enjoy ako sa Regada. Hopefully makasama ako this year.

June 22- 29 : Cavite City (Regada Proper - June 24th)

It has been a yearly tradition to celebrate the Cavite City Water Festival more popularly known as “REGADA” every June. The annual tourism oriented festival has evolved into a combined environmental, religious and cultural activity. More so, the month of June is significant in Cavite City’s history for its lasting contribution to Philippine independence and history.

“BE PREPARED TO GET WET,” warned Cavite City’s local officials to the guests and visitors of their Annual Water Festival. A wet and wild festival awaits tourist and other visitors when they come to the historic city to celebrate the feast of St. John the Baptist.

“Regada” was derived the spanish word “regar” from the chavacano speaking Cavitenos, which means water or to sprinkle. In a bid to hold the biggest water festival, Regada, will be staged in the one kilometer stretch along P. Burgos Avenue. The main thorougfare will be rigged with sprinklers and mobile sound system to transform P. Burgos Avenue into what could be the biggest wet party in the country.

Students and townfolks will fill the avenue to participate in the wet street dancing dubbed as “Basayawan sa Kalye”. The participants will interpret the essence of the yearly water festival through colorful costumes and body movements and dance to the music provided by the giant mobile sound systems installed along P. Burgos Avenue.

The festival culminates with the holding of Caracol ni San Juan Bautista at around 11 o’clock in the moring, a fitting climax to the festival’s origin in honor of St. John the Baptist in which people celebrate for the blessing by joining the “Paulan”.

Regada started in 1996 during the tenure of the Mayor Tim Encarnacion and from then on, was held every year thereon during the month of June.

Destination Anawangin Cove, San Antonio, Zambales

Anawangin Cove

View Our Old Pics Here

Last March 20 & 21, 2008 nagpunta kami sa Anawangin Cove sa Zambales para magpalipas ng Holyweek. Dahil sa ganda ng lugar nagplano kaming bumalik duon kasama na ang ibang ka opisina namin. At sa darating ngang April 12 & 13 (Sat & Sun) muli kaming babalik sa Anawangin Cove para muling i-enjoy ang Baguio meets Boracay na lugar na ito. Gusto mo rin ba sumama? Magkita na lang tayo dun. Hindi mo alam kung pano pumunta? Madali lang….
How to get there:

1. Magpunta sa Victory Liner, Caloocan (mas maaga mas maganda). Bumili ng Ticket papuntang San Antonio, Zambales.

2. Pagdating ng bayan ng San Antonio sumakay naman ng Tricycle papuntang Pundakit/Pundaquit.

3. Pagdating ng Pundaquit/Pundakit mag rent ng bangka papuntang Anawangin Cove.

Please be reminded na walang resort, walang kuryente, walang signal sa Anawangin Cove, kaya kailangang magdala talaga kayo ng tent na matutulugan, mga kagamitan sa pagluluto, pagkain, at tubig.

Update: Nalimutan ko palang isama yung tungkol sa budget.

Victory Liner (Caloocan to Zambales) : 200.oophp

Earth Hour 2008

It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour.On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement

Makilahok sana tayong lahat isang pambihirang pandaigdigang kaganapan na ito. March 29, 2008, 8:00pm to 9:00pm patayin natin ang ating mga ilaw.
