Tsinelas festival
Every year in Gapan, Nueva Ecija the town people celebrate an event called “Tsinelas Festival” (slipper’s festival). Slippers\Sandals manufacturers in Gapan and other neighboring towns make their own giant slipper models which they line up at the city’s main road to serve as attraction for tourists and locals.
In return the manufacturers were each given slipper stands near the display area where they can sell their products. Not sure how long this lasts, Im guessing from a week to a month.
As a good citizen of Nueva ecija we contribute to the Festivities by doing what we know best … SHOPPING!!! It was exhilarating to walk the long long line of shops filled with beautiful slippers. We look around, fit here, try there and ofcourse my favorite bargaining! If you’re good you’ll get a really good priced slippers starting at 20 pesos to 100 pesos to 200 pesos.
Chuvi’s farewell dinner
My intel circle of friends are getting smaller and smaller….its now Raymunds turn to say farewell. We had 2 dinner in his honor before he left. The first one was held in leslies tagaytay with mike, steve, thien, emir, and one in our usual “Magdaragat” with the rest of the gang. My cigarette budy is leaving …I guess this is the best way to quit the nasty habit. I’ll miss you chuvaness!
