Happy Thanksgiving from Philadelphia, Part 1 of 2

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Maganda si Reyna senyong lahat mga kabisyooooo!!! Kahit na umu-ugak ugak ang kahol ko, may I go ako sa city at nag-kunwaring professional fotographer at mapiktyuraka ang Happy Thanksgiving Parade sa shudad para naman ma-share senyo kung ano ang drama dito! Welcome to Philadelphia! Kung saan daw nagme-meet ang yong nakaraan at ang yong kasalukuyan! Kaya kung gusto nyong makalimutang kayo eh magsasaka nung panahon, wag po kayong pumunta dito, dahil ipa-pa-alala senyo na kayo eh magsasaka.

It’s Thanksgiving Day chuvalinga po dito at eto eh big deal ever sa Estados Unidos. Medyo late ang lola sa parada kaya dito tayo mag-start . . .

Gaya nang mga sikat na shudad sa Yuropa, me mga mapa ang mga street dito sa Barrio namen. At tong parade na to eh nasa Benjamin Franklin Parkway, sya po yong nag-imbento nang buradol. Di ba? Di ba? (buradol: bikol for kite).

2.

At dito sa Parkway nakalinya ang dose-dosenang museums at dito mo rin makikita ang lahat nang flags nang mga immigrants nang Estados Unidos. Gaya nang flag sa likod nang kwagong to:

Gaya na nga nang sabe ni Malen: Trivia po to: Everyday of my life, papasok sa work, nasa kanto po to nang Parkway and 21st Street where I make a right turn papuntang office. At gaya nga nang sinabi ko, this Parkway is lined up with flags like:

Miss South Korea!! para naman sa mga avid readers ko dyan!

Kundi ko man po nalitrato lahat nang mga rainbow flags nenyo, sorry ho! Dahil the rest di ko po mapuntahan dahil sandamakmak ang mga les gens na nanonood nang aking kagandahang nag-lalakad sa Streets of Philadelphia.

Madrama ang Thanksgiving dito samen. Para syang Pyesta sa Barrio. Kaibahan lang, Pyesta sa Amerika to. Dito nag-sasalo salo ang lahat na dysfunctional na tao. Trust me, I hear this from my officemates a lot! Hahaha! Kahit daw gusto na nilang saksakin sa galit ang kapatid nila, and whoever is in the table, plastikan na lang daw ever! I’m telling you! Puti sila, pero Pinoy pa rin ang mga drama talaga! Hahahaa! Did I hear somewhere that were all the same anyway?

Eto na po ang parada:

Because it’s tough to navigate the parkway sa stage to watch the presentation, you can also watch from these monitors sa gilid nang Parkway…

Ganito kadami at kapal nang mga tao…

41.

1-030.jpg

The activities and the stage eh sa tapat nang Philadelphia Art Museum and it looks like they’re showing Renoir Art Collection. Last month, King Tut na pinuntahan ni Chuva.

47.

Nagkalat po ang tao sa Parkway…

Been there done that na ako sa Europe (indi lahat) pati sa Eastern part. But, am telling you, I always have a blast pag sa Pinas, besides, cheap ‘day! hahaha! CHEAPPPP!!! Indi gaya senyo, Euro!

    @mogli @JHV and @pusa,

    kaya nga gusto ko nang umuwi nang pinas kasi dyan me driver ako nang karosa kooo! hehehe! dito? WALLLLAAA!!!! pangit naman yong i have to drive myself diva? halata na masyadong me ADD, to kasing mga buang kong prends, alas nube pa lang bangag naaaaa!!! wala kang maasahannnn!!!

    @JHV,

    you’re right. eto na nga yong Rocky’s Steps and at one point, yong istatwa ni Rocky eh nilagay ba naman sa tapat mismo nang Art Museum, susko, nag-kagulo sa Philadelphia! Batuhan ever! So, ang nangyari, ginawan si Rocky nang sariling lugar nya at pina-uwi sa South Philadelphia. Ang naiwan sa Art Musuem is like some footstep marker gaya nung ki JFK, Sr. sa Independence Mall.

    @mogli,

    Thanksgiving is a 4 day holiday dapat - except saken dahil papasok pa ako sa work ngayon, pasasalamat after the harvest season… alam mo na, pyesta, gaya sa barrio,.
