Buboy, Moi and Bless at Paskuhan Village.....




Kaleidoscope World.....



Watching the Lantern.....




Superlolo/Total Entertainer/Multitasker and His Wards.....




The next day, a Sunday and right after the Canon Shootout, I decided to meet a couple of great friends from the club namely Bless and Buboy and joined them to go to Pampanga for the Giant Lantern Festival. I haven't really seen any of these lanterns before so when they invited me to go, I said "yes" immediately. We left around 3 pm and arrived at Paskuhan Village at around 5 pm. To our surprise, the place wasn't really filled with people, which was kind of sad. Paskuhan Village is a large place, I think the local tourism arm of the government must do something to save it.

Anyway, we were delighted to watch a cultural presentation performed by teenaged ladies and headed by a guy/gay that the three of us call superlolo/ total entertainer/ multitasker! He was awesome! He was the host, the singer, the male lead dancer, the percussion player, the kumintang player, the narrator and the leader! All of these, done with such aplomb and despite his age (he doesn't look that young)! In the end, it was quite entertaining to watch him and his wards perform.

We never thought that going to Pampanga to shoot the festival shall bring about a stress free experience! At some point, the three of us were enjoying ourselves, hamming it up as we posed in front of my camera and Bless' and using my remote control switch, fired shot after shot of ourselves, enjoying it as if we were kids who have not seen a camera before! But when the lantern show started, we got serious and began to take pictures of the lanterns lighted, unlighted and how it looked like from its back. We went back to Manila at around 9:30 pm. Hmm, even the ride on the NLEX was relaxing!

Thank you very much Bless for the ride! Thank you very much Buboy for the laughs! And thank you very much to the both of you for the very wonderful company! If shooting events is always like this, life is soooooo sswwweeettt! c",)
