For others, THANKS GOD IT'S FRIDAY. But for me, it's OH MY GOD IT'S FRIDAY (OMGIF). I still have much work to do, never ending work that is. What I am looking forward on Friday is the 'MY TOWN SHOOT OUT challenge.
Here's my town/city- ILOILO. It's peaceful but crowded and fun during festivities. Come and join me. Let's
"paint the town red".
ILOILO is the home of the Dinagyang festival. Dinagyang is a spectacle characterized by a frenetic stomping of feet and hypnotic drumbeating. It is a colorful whirl of thousands of people dressed in unique costumes dancing and chanting all day and night.
DINAGYANG FESTIVAL is a celebration in honor of Sr. Sto. Niño, held every fourth weekend of January. The City of Iloilo is transformed into virtual stages as thousands of local and foreign tourists mix it up dancing with local devotees and costumed soot-covered atis tribe members to the beat of drums, xylophones and just any other instruments to create sounds.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead everyone!
