I should have been deep asleep by now, considering its already 1 in the morning of the 9th of December, 2010. I went to bed at 10:30 PM, hoping to get a decent sleep despite the noise outside, in the plaza. at 12 midnight the noise escalated, and it is still blaring right now as i'm typing here. Yesterday (December 8), was the feast of the Immaculate Conception and the whole town celebrated.

This had been a week long celebrating culminating on the eve of the 8th of December, with a live band show sponsored by San Miguel Corporation, right at plaza area, fronting the town's gym. Owing to the good weather, (thankfully, it did not rain the whole day on the 8th), they were able to set up the band at the outdoor stage. The people are truly enjoying the show, much to my chagrin since i still have to work tomorrow and i can't sleep because of the blaring music. The walls of my room seems to shake due to the volume of their sounds. My house is a good 300 meters or more from the outdoor stage, yet i can still feel the vibration of the blaring music.

Right now, they're singing lively songs which i think really made those watching them out there, dance to the tunes. However, it does not alleviate my situation since i can't even sleep a wink! well, my only consolation is that it would end soon. They're not planning to last until the morning don't they?

It has truly been a one of a kind celebration and so unusual for me. I spend the whole day and night in my room, never even bothering to take a walk at the plaza to get a glimpse of the celebration. It's unusual for me since for the past several years, i always spent fiesta time in my friends' houses. Well, for a change, i stayed at home all day, just reading and writing.
