August 14 - ABC Night
August is here and so as the busy days for the preparation of our incoming town fiesta in honor of Our Lady of Fatima and Sr. San Roque. The Town Fiesta has been celebrated every 15th-16th of August that is why every working committees are very busy preparing and fulfilling their assigned task.
At the start of April I observed that many barangays in Calubian and even in the neighboring towns started celebrating their fiestas. In the barangay where I was born, we celebrated our Fiesta in April 3-4 instead of 4-5 since 5 was the start of the Holy Week which is the Palm Sunday, hence barangay fiesta was celebrated in advance. Celebrating fiesta is sometimes advantageous especially if we are already living in far away places. This is the time where we can visit our home place, meeting old friends, reviving old ideas and introducing something new to the minds of others while passing a few glasses of the favorite filipino wine or beer or whatever like what we had been doing in the picture, we're still ordering beer anyway (Upper Photo:From left to right: Ricardo "Ricsan" Sanoria, My Brod Romy, Myself and my Pare Arnulfo "Ebe" Sanoria, Ricsan's older brother, Photo above; Baby Leann, Mommy, Daddy, Ninongs and Ninangs after baptism ceremony).
In my present homeplace, we celebrated also our Barangay Fiesta in April but in later date specifically April 20-21. It was not just an ordinary occasion since we just simultaneously celebrated the baptism of our new member of the family, my son's daughter and my first Apo-Baby Leann. It was really a very happy occasion, although quite showering the singing and merrymaking even extended till dawn. In behalf of my family, we were very much thankful for all our friends, kumares and kumpadres and friends who shared our happiness for the said occasion.
