THE FLOAT PARADE

Penagbenga Continues.....

The floats are made beautiful thousands of flowers were spent for the float parade. The sponsors of each floats never worried about how much they spent for the floats. The floats are all pretty and i wonder how the judges of the city government rated the floats to 9 point sumthin from all of the 20 Floats presented during the parade..since it was a contest the winners are First: the Sinutab Capsule, 2nd: the Colourful Float, Third: the Tender Juicy Hotdog and Fourth: the Fire Breathing Dragon...

Goodness, it didn't rain unlike yesterday for the streetdancing parade of all the universities including elementary and secondary levels imagine how they performed chillin outside but still managed to be at their best....i salute all these people who never thought of backing out from the parade though rain splashes to the ground so hard.

I called ate Helen to accompany me to watch the float parade we juz have this short ride because the city's jammed and we have to walk. So we walk from the Public market, goin to Burnham Park passing Melvin Jones Grand Stand, the Burnham Lake then the Skating Rink. As we are at the entrance Gate of the Athletic Bowl we need to slow down because all people who wants to watch the program from Athletic Bowl are compressed...i hardly breathe i should have stayed at home and watched T.V. but i wanted to at least try not to spoil my day so i decided to get out from my camp. They have the Band show from different respective colleges of each schools around the city. They all played great with their drums, trumphets and etc...i appreciate their music plus their art of dancing despite of holding their breathe with their heavy instruments.

After the program we walked through the breeze of the pine trees along the park. Walkin the side of Baguio Colleges FounDation to Session Road upto SM Baguio.We went to have our window shopping and get to the Hub Net to rest as im havin an hour checkin my emails. Went down to the ground floor and meet ate Helen's friends who came from Manila to treat us at Star Bucks Cafe. Then we went to the Mandarin Restaurant to have our lunch.

As we parted with her friends passing Session Road closed For the Trade Fair I noticed how the city government cares for the streets along the Session. They sent Garbage trucks and as for the clean and green projects were still implemented to the city during the whole month of Festival. It was really a very promising action of the government wherein you don't notice this being implemented to other regions or cities. We remember that Baguio won for the cleanest city of the Philippines and Palawan where in it is one of the country's pride for tourism.
Went home after to take a rest. Relaxed muh feet had my spa for i had a long walk!!! cooked my dinner and watched "Finding Nemo"....:) well this ends my story for today....
