Moriones Festival

The festival takes place in Marinduque during Holy Week and culminates in the re-enactment of the beheading of Longinus. Entire towns are converted into huge stages as the story of Longinus unfolds.

"Morion" means "mask" refer to the colorfully garbed and masked soldiers and centurions during Christ's Passion, a part of Roman armor which covers the face. Morion serves as the focal point of the Moriones festival and celebrations.

The festival is a long week celebration and characterized by colorful roman costumes, painted masks and helmets, and brightly-colored tunics.

 

Thou the trip were a bit sickening but the experience was all worth it. I’ll definitely be back to explore more with this beautiful island. I guess true to its description the heart of the Philippines!

I have so much to be thankful with this vacation. To Ray for the wonderful and almost like hotel room I stayed and best of all its free and to Christine my travel buddy  for the funny segment and photography.

Love you guys and we still have alot of  Philippines festivals to watch!

Life is good!

Summer Love-photo diary

As the sun dance to its own music and the sun worshiper trance with the joy it brings .I finally started my own way of sun dance. I packed my bags and armed myself with sunny attitude to start my summer love sweet escape.

I’m such a sun worshiper. I love the heat as it envelopes me as I walk outside. The sound of waves, salty air, the clear skies, blazing sun, the gentle summer breeze, and the lazy afternoons flavor the season with passion and warm love. 

This is just the start of my summer adventure; so much wonderful things happened to me with my vacation so expect a part 2 of my summer photo diary and next week I’ll be visiting old churches with a good friend and mid of this month I’ll be heading to Pahiyas Festival- a thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest with a grand display of colorful rice wafers, fruits, vegetables, and handicrafts adorning every house in the town…perfect for my lovely camera:)

A life without summer is like a life without love…so life is short and life is good so grab your summer essentials  and sun basked!

Let the fun toast of summer be with you!
