It was indeed a different experience to join a Filipino Feast, like what i did last February 15., It was the feast day of San Roque in Caloocan. Caloocan is a historical city like what their logo says " Ang Makasaysayang Lungsod ng Caloocan." Caloocan has two District the North District and the South District.. I just joined my friend who live at 10th avenue, of course the usual way in feast is to have salo salo... we ate our lunch at their house... wow Lengua (my favorite), there is also pancit, biko, menudo, lumpiang shanghai, lumpiang hubad ( it is the lumpia of vegetables that is not wrapped in a lumpia wrapper), chicken strips and lot more.. In filipino community it is a tradition or i should say usual to celebrate feast with lots of food, i don't know why.. The event that caught my attention is the "Palarong Kalye" which is organized by their baranggay chairman.. Hahaha as i watch the games i feel that the people are enjoying.. hehehe... there is "agawang buko" wherein the aim of the player is to grab the buko with a lots of greese from his opponents. The next game is common even in birthday parties.. it is the apple eating contest wherein the pair of player needs to finish the apple hanging w/o using their hands.. hehhe the third game is the "basagang Itlog gamit ang Talong" its kinda weird game but it went smoothly, 4th game again common in birthday parties is the pabitin... but here theres a twist... you can see in most pabitin toys, candies, chocolates and other thing that make kids happy but at this fiesta its not the kids that is happy its their moms because the prizes in the pabitin are coffee, creamer, chocolate, sugar, soap, toothpaste, dishwashing liquid, even sardines and noodles... gosh what a game? hehehe but the last game is kinda boring and it is the PISO game where in the aim of the player is to bring the peso coin from his forehead to his mouth without using anything even hands... at this game you will see the different funny facial expression... what a face? by the way i think its time to go now... just see yah on my next article... bye...
