Regada Festival
June 22- 29 : Cavite City (Regada Proper – June 24th)

It has been a yearly tradition to celebrate the Cavite City Water Festival more popularly known as “REGADA” every June. The annual tourism oriented festival has evolved into a combined environmental, religious and cultural activity. More so, the month of June is significant in Cavite City’s history for its lasting contribution to Philippine independence and history.

“BE PREPARED TO GET WET,” warned Cavite City’s local officials to the guests and visitors of their Annual Water Festival. A wet and wild festival awaits tourist and other visitors when they come to the historic city to celebrate the feast of St. John the Baptist.

“Regada” was derived the spanish word “regar” from the chavacano speaking Cavitenos, which means water or to sprinkle. In a bid to hold the biggest water festival, Regada, will be staged in the one kilometer stretch along P. Burgos Avenue. The main thorougfare will be rigged with sprinklers and mobile sound system to transform P. Burgos Avenue into what could be the biggest wet party in the country.

Students and townfolks will fill the avenue to participate in the wet street dancing dubbed as “Basayawan sa Kalye”. The participants will interpret the essence of the yearly water festival through colorful costumes and body movements and dance to the music provided by the giant mobile sound systems installed along P. Burgos Avenue.

The festival culminates with the holding of Caracol ni San Juan Bautista at around 11 o’clock in the moring, a fitting climax to the festival’s origin in honor of St. John the Baptist in which people celebrate for the blessing by joining the “Paulan”.

Regada started in 1996 during the tenure of the Mayor Tim Encarnacion and from then on, was held every year thereon during the month of June.

i always get the feeling of being sluggish every time I try to get back to something after a break (vacation break that is). In short – hangover.

Still have have a lot to blog about but meantime, enjoy my yellow dyed hair while I’m trying to recap what has been going on for the past few days: Juniper’s controversial nip slip at wowowee last 12 , Vodka, Tequila, GSM Blue mixes, Election 2007, Pahiyas Festival & Francine Prietto, acquaintance with old and new found people: nika, jen, len, eds, anna, carlo yet still holding on.

More, more & a lot more.

Still feeling gloomy, confused, wasted, depressed.

Sampler magazines FB World, Golf Digest, Negosyo and Mobile Philippines. I just love freebies. Freebies with our pics on it

Who wouldn’t be fired up when the new line of titles Adobe has to offer for CS3 was well unveiled by key people from Adobe Asia Pacific itself. One of Manila’s favorite (and I guess the other asean countries’ as well is Ms. Marianne Young Ledesma, (Philippines Pride) Singapore-based Applications Engineer for Adobe Asia Pacific who carries the show onward to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, & The Philippines.

T’was my 3rd time to attend Adobe’s road show. The last of which is the Indesign World 2006 (same venue) & the very first is during the Adobe CS 2 Launch at Greenbelt onstage last 2005. The only thing you can whine about between the 2 launches is : at CS2 Launch, we were indulge with expensive morning & afternoon snacks, and at CS3 – only coffee & water was served.

I need not to cite specifics about the CS3 launch. All in all I give them A+. Who wouldn’t, you’d be astonished to see magical features from Adobe & Macromedia that you haven’t seen before presented smoothly by people of Adobe.

Just read the feature booklet in your loot bags if you have any. Or watch them at Adobe’s Design Center and see for yourselves on what CS3 has to offer.

Me, Inah (Jivy‘s sister) & Ramsey went there early at 9. Fiona & Fred followed after lunch. We envy Inah’s experience since we we’re like 2nd or 3rd year college when we started to expose our self with this type of road shows, but Inah, she’s just a fresh high school grad who’ll be taking Computer Engineering. What more could she be attending on her 3rd and 4th years.

Furthermore, here’s a couple of captured moments during & post CS3 launch.

Dinner at Mojito Bay, foods by Cafe Adriatico. Mall of Asia. Inah with the baby sitters haha
