Marchas de las Mujeres

For the International Women's Day Celebration, women employees of all local agencies joined in the parade from City Hall to Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Sports Stadium.

Purple filled the streets:


(Purple ribbon round the hat)


 (Purple knitted scarf)


(Purple polka dot umbrella)


(Purple pop art graphic on shirt)


 (Purple sprinkle effect on pink collared shirt)


(Purple striped cardi)


(Purple flats)


 (Purple and white balloons)


(And more balloons)


(Purple flags)

I found myself waking up at 5:30 in the morning because my Mom and her office mates were required to join the parade. And there I was, also wearing purple, marching next to my Mom. And I was the obedient photographer-daughter.


(Mommy and her friends from work)

So I tagged along with my Mommy and her office mates. She told me that all of her lady-friends attended the parade and left all of the men and feeling-lady in their admin building, and that her friends will be bargaining for a day-off, today being Women's International Day and all. Hehehe.

But the walking from City Hall to the JEM Stadium did us some good exercise. The weather was humid although the weather forecast last night said that there will be scattered rain showers.

Of course I had to split and return to our studio after getting some video support for our footages, the material will be aired on the weekend news segment this Saturday, and Mom and her friends will be waiving at the camera (talk about biased).

This is all for today. Maybe tomorrow I can share a little something from the piece I wrote this morning.

Happy International Women's Day ladies! =p

      Tama Ced! =) Women have gone through a lot, and it's just fitting that a day, or month even, should be dedicated to them. =)

      Hi Karen! I think it's a delight for someone who loves the color purple, hahaha. Goes to show that some women are really up to a dress code, if there was one. Thanks for dropping by sis! =)
