The signal to light more firecrackers is given.

I was very fortunate to be invited by Mr. Tony Co to the blessing of the newly opened St. Santiago Temple in Barangay Barit, Laoag City last Feb. 27, 2012. A Feng Shui master from China facilitated the ceremonies which started at 1 o’clock in the morning. Anybody is welcome to the temple to light an incense and make a wish.

The sky cleared up and the moon came out on my second night at the lake.

The previous night had overcast skies and gave me a ghost town vibe to the place. But I was comforted by, and surprised to find, strong winds near the water. It kind of told me that the place is alive and I have not slipped into another dimension. No one was around except Tata Pacio having been alerted by his dog. He owned the house near this spot. His neighbors seemed to have called it a night early.

This night was totally different though. There was more urban noise and I had locals accompanying me. There were even kids enjoying a bonfire on the lakeside.
