my first lantern parade was a memorable experience. =)

see, it was so fun that i couldn't say anything negative.

those higantes were really disturbing. they looked like some senile cabinet secretaries and when they stopped by eng'g, these freaky massive paper maches danced to 'itaktak mo' and started canoodling each others' papery flesh. morbid.

i wasn't able to take pictures of the lanterns thatwere paraded later since it was already too dark and my technologically-deprived camera cannot even capture a single dot of light in the middle of blackness.

some of my floormates and i filed late night permits up until 11:30 in the evening. the lantern parade ended by about 9pm and so we decided to sit on the grasses in the middle of sunken garden, frolick by the amphitheater and take pictures of the oblation. i kinda felt shutterbuggy-y and took a few shots.

this is a literal take on 'masarap ang UP'. i learned this from my class, Symbolic Desecration 101.

lately i have been good in developing my unique 'false-ecstasy' pose. i told john dale to take some pics of me and quezon halls' elusive tiles. i could almost imagine how many head of states have set foot on where i was rubbing my ass on.

perhaps the fireworks display during the ending ceremony was the best one i have seen so far. i guess it has something to do with the uniqueness of the occasion. we were literally looking above with our necks perpendicular to our spine as the fireworks erupted directly up, like glaring wraths from heaven above. it kinda gave me a visual hint about that nonexistent meteor shower everyone else was raving about [bitter lang ako].

yehey. hooray lantern parade.

since leya is a blogreader of mine, i feel compelled [wahaha] to thank everyone who gave me gifts. to leya who gifted me with a very unique and special non-mass-produced gift, to ate wennah who had the guts to give me her autographed picture, to habonbon for his china-made CD case, to j@*~~ for the nice book and gtec pen, to bj for the planner and to everyone else.

merry christmas. [btw, our literary folio has been successfully released and everyone is RAVING about it. overstatement but you can say it like that] too bad only leya had pictures of us selling 'Bulong' on Kalai's new, poshly renovated lobby. mabuhay!
