sto. niño // costumes

A peaceful Sunday to all you grand dolls!

 Here is the part two of my Sto. Niño post.

In this post, I'll be showing you the costumes of the dance troupes :)

They were all so colorful and lively.

These two kids are so adorable! They're twins and yes, those are their natural, very curly hair. They were very passionate in copying the dance steps. So cute! :D

Meet Mudra! Hihihi, she's really energetic and happy every time we go to this event.

 

I took a stolen shot from these Uling Boys because whenever they see that they're being photographed, they'd run towards the person holding the cam. Big NO. I don't wanna go home looking like we played in a puddle of black oil!

Lastly, we saw this friendly queer. He was so sweet to offer taking a picture with Mudra.
He was wearing this green contact lenses that looked good on him :D Share lang.

That's it! I must admit, this year ain't as lively and vigorous as the previous ones.
But I still felt the enthusiasm of the devotees. :3

sto. niño // floats

Good morning, everyone!

This is a long overdue post. Sorry :D

Picture Overload ahead, too.

Ever since I was a baby, Mudra used to take me to the Sto. Niño parade.
The procession happens every last Sunday of January starting from the World Trade Center compound up to Rizal Park.

Hundreds of devotees dressed up and arranged their Baby Jesus images. 

 

Creative floats of the Sto. Niño are highlighted.

Look at that! They're very creative, actually.

 

There were 175 floats. And there were even some numbers with "sub-floats" (See that orange float? 68-C, there was a 68-A and B)

And for other floats, there were like 10 images. So many baby Sto. Niños! :D

 

Sorry, I was only using my HTC so the pictures are slightly blurred. The lights on the left float were actually small carousels, they were just so cute. Too bad the picture didn't do much justice :(

 

And that is the float of Our Lady of Manaoag. She's the final float to go.

I always look forward to seeing her, every year.

Well, I hope I didn't bore you that much!

I'll be posting costumes of dance troupes, soon :D
