Panagbenga - Session Rd. in Bloom

For the last week of the Panagbenga month - Session Road was closed to vehicular traffic.  Booths were setup for different merchandise.  Last weekend - I walked along session and saw food, clothes, handicrafts, and telecommunications booths.

At the top of the hill - there's a stage where different artists perform.

Shing-a-Ling anyone?   There's an upcoming post on these.  Read about it in my next blog entry.

Even schools have booths.

Kebab anyone?

The whole place is packed. Here - I tried to get a composite image of the people who were passing by this lamps store.

Made me laugh.  Then made me scared?  What are they selling?

I got a bunch of stuff from walking around.  Looking forward to next year's Session Road in Bloom

Hello Lulu Skylor Camera Strap

I found a very cute camera strap that I can use for my Sony NEX-5: The Hello Lulu Skylor.   I got a blue strap - that just fits my overall casual demeanor when I do my photo walk-about.

I chose blue.  You can also get it in black and pink.

The strap is made of leather and canvass.

One thing that worries me is the connection to the camera.  I hope this tie-loop will hold.  Note to self - not good for my heavy DSLR.

The strap adjusts ( like a belt ) around your wrist.

For clumsy guys like me --- this is perfect.

My Silver Cambridge Satchel

I got another bag from Cambridge Satchel.  This time it's a 13 inch original design.  The faint of heart will most probably shy away from this color - SILVER.  Yup -- shiny bright silver.  The other option that I had was gold.  I think my skin tone agrees with silver more than gold.  

It's a fun bag to carry.  I'm using it while I'm out and about session road this Panagbenga 2013.  It's not easy to open - so I'm pretty sure the contents of my bag ( wallet, 7 inch tablet, iphone ) are safe.

Oh BTW - I also got this at 50% off.  So I got it for 5,000 pesos.  Very good deal, isn't it?
