Ati-Atihan (Kuno)

Early on the last Sunday of January, I went out for my usual early morning jog. Usual...haha as if matagal ko nang ginagawa eh no? hehe pero one week pa lang talaga. But last Sunday, i went to a different place, kasi sawa na ko sa sementeryo dahil panay mga senior citizens at jologs ang nakikita ko dun. I went to Island Cove in Kawit.

I planned to shoot there to "test" the lens which i have been wanting for a long time already, which i finally, and painfully, got last friday teehee... So, i got Danica, put on my running shoes and off i went. Kaso when i got there, ayaw nila papasukin sasakyan ko. so ayun di ko din naman madala si danica sa loob dahil mahirap naman tumakbo ng may nakasabit sa leeg noh? in case you didnt know, tatawid ng tulay across a wide river yung island after the entrance, so medyo may kalayuan din ng konti and i didnt want to go back to get the camera naman. sooo tamad of me hehe.

Then after about 3 miles (naks! miles haha...eh 1 mile daw kasi yung jogging path, naka tatlong ikot ako. so 3 times 1 is 3! LOL!) umuwe na ko... pero after the binakayan bridge going into bacoor proper, hinaharang na mga sasakyan... nakupo! may parada for sure! inintay ko na makalingat yung mga bantay at derederecho na ko. malayulayo din yung iikutan ko noh... padating sa Banalo, stop na. Nagstart na ang parade at buong kalsada ang inoccupy. susme! perwizyo!

Then I realized na Sto Nino pala kaya bumaba ako dala si Danica and then fired some shots (hmmm camera lang eh, fired??) pero i was at the tail end of the parade. so i waited until makarating sa bahay para maiwan ko sasakyan at pagkababa ko takbo na uli ako hanggang sa unahan ng parada. literal yan, tinakbo from bahay to bayan. non-stop. bitbit ko si danica.

Sa parade may 2 lalaki on stilts, kiddie dancers and ate-atehan (kaya pala ganyan ang tawag kasi mga bading...nagkukunyare na mga ate ahaha). dun ko ito nakunan.

fish to the world,
