The Carnival, Year After Year
The annual 2-week Pamulinawen Festival carnival in Laoag is the only thing that hasn't changed over the years. It is still the same old vision on the same dusty spot close to the Padsan River... the same old rides... the same feeling it gives me -- yes, I'm getting older... YEAR AFTER YEAR.
“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...
...and you finish off as an orgasm.” ~ George Carlin

Nice photo. Funny quote but I think they already made a movie like that, based on an old story by F Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. :-)

love the texture sis,
periahan ba yan?
naalala ko tuloy sa amin noon kong may fiesta may periahan lagi. mga sira sira pang sasakyan.. syempre minsan lang ang mga tao maka sakay.. hala pati kami nakipila na rin... enjoy din naman.

Very nice texture work. Dreamy and vintage feel.
And your story made me smile. You should watch the "Benjamin Button" movie.
