Pahiyas

Every 15th of May, the natives in Lucban, Quezon celebrate the Pahiyas festival. The residents of Lucban decorate their houses with colorful kiping, fruits, vegetables and native crafts in honor of their patron saint San Isidro Labrador. Yesterday was my first time to go to Pahiyas Festival. Some houses were very colorful and fully decorated. There were plenty of umbrellas because of the heavy rain. I didn't appreciate it that much because of the non-stop drops of water from the sky. I wish it didn't rain that day so I could have taken photos since it was my first time and I wanted to have a great photo souvenir from the festival. But unfortunately, I didn't succeed.

After being soaked in the rain, we went to Dalitiwan Falls located at Majayjay, Laguna. The water was very cold but we were able to swim for a while. A lot of hassle happened on our way to Lucban and during the trip but we still managed to have a good laugh.

I wander kung ano yung lasa nung kiping. Na-a-amaze talaga ako kung paano nila ginagawa yung decorations nila.
