PASAYAHAN SA LUCENA 2006
June 4, 2006
Summer is about to end, and May showers started to drench flower beds and rice fields all over the country, but before we end our Summer Fun, me and my brother decided to visit Lucena City to witness their fiesta called Pasayahan 2006.
It was some sort of a reunion with our cousins, and a weekend full of concerts and celebrities. I was one of the boys for the whole weekend, but I don’t mind.
GMA channel 7, the Kapuso station, graced the event which is sponsored by James Cooper. Bands and celebrities were in every corner of the city, including the malls -- SM Lucena and Pacific Mall. Our weekend nights were spent watching concerts and food tripping. However, it was also a tiring weekend as we walk from one location to another. The streets were closed due to street parties, and parking was a total headache.
For the first night we watched the concert of Aegis, but halfway through the concert there was a commotion. A group of civilian started to fight and the audience started to run away from the venue. So we decided to move to another location and go to the heart of the city, where the main street was converted to a tiangge. When all of us were tired of the endless walking, we decided to go home and watch the Da Vinci Code in DVD. It was quite a boring flick. After the movie we went to bed to get some sleep, because we needed a lot of energy for tomorrow’s grand parade.
For the second day, we got up early to watch the grand parade which includes the cast of Captain Barbell and SOP Gigsters. Here are some of the photos from the parade.

After lunch we decided to go to the parking lot of SM Lucena to watch SOP Gigsters Live. But the scorching heat of the sun was unbearable, so we decided to go to the backstage. We saw Camille Pratts, Sunshine Dizon, Richard Gutierrez, Ryza Cenon, Nicole Anderson, Rainier Castillo, and Mark Herras in person. Richard was not snobbish and he was really handsome. We stayed at the parking lot in less that 20 minutes, and went to the food court for another session of food trip. After eating we watched X-Men: The last Stand. It was a great movie! Though I was never a die-hard fan of X-Men, I enjoyed the movie and I demand for another X-Men flick. The end of the movie marks the start of another endless walking through the streets of the city as we watched different concerts. Even the channel 2 stars were there. Sherri and Eric Santos have a concert along with Parokya ni Edgar and Rocksteady.
But on top of it all, what I enjoyed the most was the quality time I spent with my brother and cousins, which is ultimately PRICELESS!
