This was my 1st fiesta back in Batangas since I moved to England and I loved it. As well as the usual suspects there was a guest appearance from Ate Jeck(great to see her and she looks great too :)) as well as her 2 daughters, Amanda and Alex, Tita Nepo, Tita Chie, Tita Ems and for only the 2nd time since I can remember Tita Bebe. Great to see so many Aunties again and having family around you, I knew I missed it but never realised how much. There is such comfort to be found in just sitting there while everyone is talking all at once. Don't ever take that for granted and now that Im back here Im refusing to let that go. Its a shame that the the Kuyas could not make it but we have made plans to meet up again and have some fun in Manila :D.
It was actually a pretty quiet fiesta with regards to events but there was the usual mass in the morning, in what felt like a sauna converted into a church :) , then there were 2 bands, I missed the procession unfortunately but managed to catch some very nice dancers at the variety show that was put on at the local gym that night. Then there was the same drumming band with the scary fire breathing bakla dancers that were there for the Tejeros Fiesta, and I hid like a kid who had done something bad and knew that a slipper was destined for his backside…
Finally and most importantly there was the food. What can I say about the food? I feel that I have worked very hard while I have been in Makati to try to lose some of the ‘holiday’ weight that I have been carrying for about 10 years lol and that was all undone in the space of about 6 hours… Thanks has to go to Tita Edith , Ate Remy and everyone else who slaved for so long to put on a wonderful feast that has played havoc on my weight loss regime haha.
