province fun

and so, after arguing with myself for years, i've finally accepted that iloilo IS A province. my province. it will always be the hometown address i'll be putting on application forms because there will always be a current address in contrast to it. :) and i've been asking pinky where else should i go here in iloilo, because in manila, there's zipline in tagaytay, batangas, there's malls, eco parks, intramuros, enchanted kingdom, etc. at least, here in iloilo, the beaches are about 10-15 mins away. (that's minimum. haha) aside from new restaurants, new hangout places, there's nothing new in here. IF you're a resident. but of course, if you're new to iloilo, then welcome to some town-y adventure!! :)

one of the things i like (well. not really like) here is town fiestas. :) i've only been to 5 in my life. La Paz (that's where i live), Jaro (that's where everyone lives. haha), Mandurriao (hey arren! haha), Pavia (hey Mahj and Maliz!) and Pototan (hey Meimei's tita's house!) hahahaha. The only Pototan fiesta brings back bad memories. HAHA :) during fiestas, people bring their whole family and go to their friends' houses to eat. :) (as long as you're invited. hahA) there's usually a perya in the town plaza, so there's ferris wheels, merry go rounds, popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream stands, shakes, and pancakes!! wooh. :)

when i arrived here in iloilo, it was La Paz fiesta, but we don't do fiestas. haha. but my brothers and i wanted to see La Paz plaza, so today, May27, just 3 days after the fiesta, we headed to the plaza. :) and here's what we found. haha
forgive me for the crappy quality of the photo. it's from my brother's phone. :) no one really cares about who MARIELLE is. i didn't even notice it until i saw this photo. haha. no one was there, and the people were already packing away (aww! pack away! i miss pre-school!) the rides and stalls!
merry go round. haha. i really wanted to go ride. booo.
there were two ferris wheels!!! booooo.
this is the perya part of the plaza... roletas, and videoke tents, pula o puti tents, etc. HAHA. we only play for the prizes. i especially like the pellet gun tent. HAHA. booooo.

so instead, we ate popcorn and drank softdrinks, and ate tasteless pancakes! but they're yummy!! (for some reason. hahaha)

it was fun. we walked back to our house. long but nice walk. hahaha. we passed by a super huge lot just a few blocks away from our house, josh and i imagined what it would look like if it were ours. and we'd be free to build anything we want. this is how our house would look like on that lot.


HAHA. swimming pool on the front, and a castle/palace like structure just behind it. HAHA. we heart taj mahal!!

that's all. :)

oh, and i just wanted to share our youngest brother's pictures. BWAHAHHHAHA this is too funny not to share. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.
HAHAHA kidd. that's kaylle. HAHAHAHA. wearing josh/siv's jersey. HAHAH!
pare. HAHA. you're the cutest thing ever. love you kaylle! HAHAHAHAHAHA I also used to do this to my brothers when they were younger. i dressed up josh in a wedding gown, and siv in my uniform. HAHAHAHA.


au revoir!
