Been extra gloomy this weekend that going to the CCP for Pasinaya was my only saving grace. Although the whole event was meant to be festive and colorful, I found myself gravitating towards dark denims and angst-y pieces. Ha! The rocker chick look will always be my favorite :P

 The whole complex was crazy full of people, it didn't matter what you do. It was really like one huge festival of sorts! I especially enjoyed how my cousin and I got to flop down on the sidewalk without it looking out of the ordinary. Really, rare moments like that are my favorites :)

 Sorry for my background. As I said there were a lot of people in the area and I felt a bit shy to do my "poses", hence the open car door. Haha :P

Cropped top- My Arte Ako (cropped it myself)

High waisted shorts - Taylor & Co.

Denim zip up boots - Parisian

So how was Pasinaya 2011? One word:  uh-mazing! It's like one big school fair difference being that all the performances are top class! 

I especially love how everywhere you go, there's something going on. A dance group suddenly performs on the side street, or you suddenly bump into characters in Spartan costumes or chance upon a fat guy in a dress. It's like being in a circus!-- only, there are no freaks, just incredibly talented Filipino artists! :)

The CCP grounds was like one big fair! People were everywhere and everything was just so festive!

Can you spot the rainbow that formed by the fountain? I was teasing my cousin to dive right in and get our "pot of gold"

For some reason, all the shows I gravitated to were musical in nature. One of the reasons would be the loooooong lines in other venues--and also somehow, I was more in the mood to watch something light and casual, given that it's a Sunday and Sundays to me should always be easy, breezy, beautiful (haha, covergirl?)

Was captivated by the Madrigal Singer's performance! I am so going to see their Valentine's Concert!

Pasinaya was so enjoyable! It helped that there were a LOT of teens there, it really contributed to the "school fair" feeling. Everyone was just out to have fun, no restrictions, no worries ;)

That's CCP President, Dr. Raul Sunico getting his portrait done at the Rapid Sketching booth!

See how the CCP grounds was transformed into a festival area?

I was dead beat from a looooong day of walking around (in heels!) and gushing over world-class performances. But the exhaustion was well worth it. I had so much fun! Cannot wait for next year!
