Well, I just
wanna share my staycation in one of my friend’s house in Cavite . That was an unplanned trip which made
me more excited. Aside from having a short staycation, I got excited since that
will be my first time to witness the barrio fiesta ala Amadeo.
July 25th
after our shift we went right away to their place. It took us more than 2 hours
of travel time.
I promised
myself that since this a short staycation, I’ll forget first my diet. Plus the
fact that was a barrio fiesta, it means a lot of food will be served. Bwahahaha…
The following
day, everyone in the family (except my friend… LOL) was busy preparing the
food. They were expecting a lot of visitors. We waited until 3PM for the “Karakol”
to start.
TRIVIA:
Karakol –
Philippine street dance. It is being held during town and barangay fiestas in Cavite and most rural areas in here in the Philippines .
This tradition started back from the Spanish Colonial Period and still being
practice up to the present.
Surprisingly,
it did not rain on that day. It was a trend that rain will always be part of
the celebration that’s why people who would want to participate in karakol would
just wear their comfi shorts.
I’m into
street dancing but Karakol is a different thing. We had 5 mobiles with big
speakers playing non-stop folk songs.
My friend and I had fun dancing and goofing around. Hehehe… |
The falls
is small but it offers visitors a nice area to swim. It looks interesting
because of a deep tub or pool that adults could enjoy and a shallow section that
can be enjoyed by kids. Locals have put up a few huts around the waterway for
visitors who would like to have picnic of sorts.
Thanks to
my dear friend for sharing this experience with me… ^^
