Festive Mood
From where I am, we are having festivals left and right. Iloilo City will be celebrating Dinagyang Festival 2007 starting tomorrow. We celebrate this every 4th week of January every year. Highlights on saturday and sunday next week. This is the time when parties are thrown everywhere.
It’s not only Iloilo City that experiences the festive mood. Our neighbors celebrate their own unique festival. Actually, in Iloilo, I get this feeling during the first half of the year. Next month towns all over Iloilo province will start celebrating their patronal fiestas. This continues until the month of May.
I would love to have fun. But there are things to do. There’s work. We’re launching another site, another tool. There’s family. The kids are growing up. They’re getting more demanding in terms of attention. There’s this blog to update. There’s a plugin to upgrade.

I can’t remember the last time I watched the Dinagyang in Iloilo but I can still remember the first time. I was about 5 years old and seeing those dark-skinned people dancing and shouting scared the hell out of me. Hehe

[insert Filipino vulgarity here], another surprise. Just a few seconds ago I commented on your “Habari” posts. It seems you’ve got another Jaypee roaming around your blog.
Anyway, I forgot to mention in my first comment so I guess I’ll do it here. I hope you don’t mind my including your blog to my Blogroll. I’m a bit of a technojunkie myself and it’s not very often that one comes across the blog of a fellow Filipino programmer, after all.
