UP Lantern Parade 2011

There's only one word to describe UP's recent lantern parade = AWESOME. (Well, that was based on the pictures I saw, which are mainly from FA)

And because I'm a fine arts student, let me talk to you about or floats and costumes shall we? To start of, our theme for this year is "Pinoy: Noon at Ngayon". Pretty tough huh?

We've had a hard time brainstorming possible entries of what we could make out on the said situation. We voted and voted and voted and viola! Our block (VC-W) decided to do Philippine Cinema. Rough choice. Of course we had to make our costumes as recognizable as possible! Bless you, whoever suggested this idea. But on the bright side, we did manage to do it. It was pretty fun actually, playing with rubber foams and skin-sucking Greco. Oh yes, no one will never forget the sweet and spicy encounters with the one and only Greco. The blood-thirsting smell of rubber foams... (okay, I exaggerated)

Oh yeah, before I forgot, here are some pictures of our masterpiece, in case you wanna see our awesomeness:

And last but not the least!! My very own ALWINA of Mulawin. :)

by the way, I'm not the girl inside the costume.

Being someone who is not allowed to participate in any christmas occasions due to religious beliefs, seeing these pictures urged the green eyed monster inside me. It seems like they've had lots of fun. I don't wanna miss any fun!! But fortunately, I managed to keep the monster calm. Thank you conscience! :)

Footnote: I would like to thank Therese's cousin, who paraded my super heavy costume! I'm sorry I didn't even give you anything. But I will, just wait and see. :D You are both life-savers! I owe you a lot. xx
