Regada 2008

We just came fresh from REGADA (Water Festival) at Cavite City... Had so much fun with friends, dancing, drinking and just making the best out of the celebration! Saw Uma Kuni and Kat De Castro of Trip na Trip (being aired at ABS CBN)... anyways, that REGADA thing started out as just one of those street 'basaan' party being held every June 24 a celebration of the feast day of St. John the Baptist, until it was given a hefty amount of budget by the local government that various events were added to spice up the said event. Imagine shower sprinklers lined up and powered by the city's fire department in a one kilometer stretch of the main avenue, plus the number of entertainment stages in every block boosting with dance and rock music to jive with the groove of the wet and happy party people.
No clear pictures to post here since bringing a camera would mean one thing... stupidity. So we just opt to use our camera phone -wrapped and sealed in plastic to prevent it from getting wet.
more infos here.


'basaan sa kalye' let those pails and dippers and the uber wet peeps do the talking

groups of people are heading the same direction -- to the city's main avenue where the real street party is happening! this is around 8am

one of the events highlights are the street parade and costume parade contests, that were participated by different schools of Cavite City

our friends -- yes, we do have our uniformed shirts, but ours were left at my friend's house, thus we are in civilian! lol
