VACATION!!

Ok so I really don't have anything to say except that it's a Wednesday here and tomorrow i'm off to the pastry capital of the Philippines, Bacolod for their annual MassKara Festival. This is one of many prestigious festivals in the country, Considering the fact that we have 7107 islands and at least 1 out of 20 islands have their own Fiesta (that might be an exaggeration or an understatement, not really sure lol)
The festival was established to battle against the depression of low sugar prices a few decades ago.  Bacolod's main revenue comes mostly from the cane industry so MassKara, which means many faces, is basically a big party to say that even though they're under economic crisis they should still put on a happy face, or something like that.


Anyway that is all

QOTD: what Festivals do you have in your country?



Hear from you guys soon,

    Well, where I was born we have the corn ad apple festival every year it take place at the end of august and is a sort of harvest festival. Lots of small towns in Manitoba have similar festivals like the sunflower festival and the maple garlic festival. Winnipeg has lots of smaller street festivals during the summer and the Festival du Voyageur in the winter where there is snow sculptures and maple syrup and lots of music it is basically a celebration of french Canadian culture and its huge.
