I almost forgot that the Aliwan Fiesta 2009 will be this week starting on April23 and ending with the much awaited Grand Parade on April 25. There wasn't much hype for the Aliwan this year unlike the past year. I'll try to invite some friends who are also photography enthusiasts like me. And this year, I'm planning and trying my luck in joining the event's photography contest. hehe
