Of Rainfalls and Flower Floats


It has started to rain here in Baguio. Quite early, my folks think. Last Sunday was the year’s first rain for me. We were being treated to a meal at Baguio Country Club then and it was wonderful watching the rain while enjoying the ambience of what still makes people from the lowlands or all over come back to Baguio. A Korean movie Clark Kent and I recently watched had this line: “Does the rain fall in drops or in threads?” It seemed like the rain was falling in threads during that time, but what do you think?

Baguio Country Club had its Flower Festival entry float parked front of the main entrance. It was pleasantly surprising to see that the flowers used for the float were not yet wilted or dried --- the cut flowers have actually lasted the week or more since they were tacked, glued and arranged to make what was one of the more eye-catching floats during the parade --- although it cannot be helped to compare it to Cinderella’s Pumpkin Coach – because there was indeed a Horse (although not real) attached to a carriage like structure. I’m surprised that it didn’t win any award in the float contest though.

More next time.

Ciao.
