So, after the uber-haggardic first week. I'm here wasting money just to update things. Ending up losing all the money I have for the week. Hassle kasi. The Pasalubong Festival's done. Buti naman. Haha. Masaya naman 'yun. Kahit maraming nalasing, tapos may bonding kasi per region. We took the time to get to know them better, o di ba senti? Haha.
Of course, I'm from Region 3, and if before I don't have that enough knowledge about my region. Now I think I have learned a lot because of the fest. There are about five hundred people who went in Kalay yesterday, about 4pm. It ended about 9pm with a fireworks display which was taken care by our region. So bongga talaga kami! Samahan pa ng B-O-G-A with an h to positive infinity. haha. BOGAHHH! ahha.
Anyways, the fest was truly heartwarming, also it gave us opportunity to know more about our country. Yet, that festivity won't be successful if not for sleepless nights and the generous people who shared their culture and of course their delicacies to each other.
Here are some points from each region that I went to:
Saudi. The weirdest food! But, their delicacies taste good. The booth was okay. The normal Muslim-Saudi thing is the motif of their booth.
Region IX. The giant vinta! Woohoo! The sardines was so hot! I did not even think its sardines. Napaka-lasa. Its spicy but promise, ansarap!
Region XII. The Davao Region. The best sila sa presentation! Haha. Ang outfit kumakabog. Haha. But of course, masarap ang Durian nila kahit medyo smelly. Hehe. Durian candies and all that stuff. Nag-enjoy din ako sa food nila.
Region VII. The region na parang hindi talaga nakapaghanda although I know that 'sweets' lang kasi talaga yung sa kanila. Masarap naman. Peanut Brittle, mango candy things like that.
Region VIII. Dut. Pastries. More pastries. Another pastry. Plus, suman. Haha. Masarap. Cookies-like things, wala nga lang sila ganong delicacy.
Region I. Sayang, di ko naabutan ang masarap nilang fishes. However, the chichacorn's great talaga. Tapos anganda rin ng presentation. Yung booth nila asteg. Pawid ang lolo. Haha. Tapos ayus din yung ushers/usherettes nila.
Region IV. Masarap yung tenga ng litson. Ayus yung 10 people get-all-you-can in 5 minutes.
Presentation? Don't get me started. Maganda. Pero naiinis lang talaga ako sa kanya.
CAR. Ayus sila. May pine tree. Tapos napaka-ethnic at native. Thumbs up! :{ May rice wine pa sila.
Region III. Need I say more? Haha. Syempre kami the best! :P From nothing to something. Nakaya namin. Buffet style pa, at pinilahan, grabe nasira yung bakod namin. Haha. Ansaya namin kasi we're satisfied. One hour pa lang ubos na food namin. Remarkable: Tusino and Sisig of Pampanga, Chicharon ng Bulacan at sandamukal na Pastillas. Bataan's tinapa at mangga ng Zambales.
Region V. Haha. Nanalo ako ng gift pack dahil sa sinarapan. Ang sarap ng laing nila. Haha. At Bicol Express. Di ko naabutan yung pusit. Pili nuts are good! Syempre si Jason nagtatatalak. Nangangaway pa. Astig din yung presentation nila. haha.
Region II. The region daw na nagset ng standards. Sa booth. Sa presentation. Pagdating sa food. Nipa wine. That's it.
Region X. Fruits. Fruits. Fruits. Ansaya. Hehe. Ayun, fruits.
Region VI. Kyut nung maskara thing tapos blue and pink ang motif nila. Hehe. Asteg. Basta ayun, masaya din sa kanila.
CARAGA. The Caraga region, sarap ng fishes nila. Sarap nung pusit thingy.
SOCCSKSARGEN. Hehe. I enjoyed a lot sa booth na ito. Kaya pabalik balik kasi sila lang nag-offer ng drink na di nakakalasing. Masarap yung Kilawin at yung Tuna grabe! Hehe.
Syempre ang fireworks display namin ang pangabog.
Done. Food trip in just three hours! Hayy. Sa sobrang tagal na pinaghandaan, ganun lang lumipas. After noon, kanya-kanya nang bonding. Haha. Si Robert nalasing sa amin, pero ayus lang kyut. haha. Star gazing. Kwentuhan. Banig. Lahat na. Ayos talaga ang Pasafest!
Haha. I had such a great time. 3 AM na ako natulog.

And when I went back sa floor, walo na ang may Sore Eyes.
Ayoko magkaroon. Ang roommate ko meron na.
Sadya bang mahina ang resistance namin at palaging kapag may sakit, agad-agad nagkakahawaan?
Pakshet.
