How to go, What to do, How to go home -Pahiyas Festival - Philippines
"Lucban celebrates the Pahiyas Festival every 15 May in honour of the patron saint of farmers, St Isidore the Labourer. This festival showcases a street of houses which are adorned with fruits, vegetables, agricultural products, handicrafts and kiping, a rice-made decoration, which afterwards can be eaten grilled or fried. The houses are judged and the best one is proclaimed the winner. Every year, tourists roam the municipality to witness the decoration of houses"

Keep track of time or else you will be stuck :p Batang Lakwatsero experience this one
"When we found them, we hurriedly rode a tricycle to the terminal of jeep bound to Sta. Cruz, Laguna where we again saw the long line of passengers. We patiently waited, burned the time with cool stories and gossip, until we finally boarded the jumbo jeep around 8:30 PM. Marco and Lauren once again did a top load ride, Gael, Darwin and I wanted to sleep so we hopped inside.
By 10:00 PM, we reached the town plaza of Sta Cruz, Laguna. No more buses bound to Manila, the last trips were at 8:00 pm. OMG, the Pinoy Travel Bloggers were stuck in Sta. Cruz. Our last resort was to take a jeep bound to Calamba then ride a bus to Alabang, unfortunately jeeps were scarce that night." [ivanlakwatsero]
With our experience we left the next day so we can still buy some lucban longganisa, halo-halo and buy what local delicacies we can find. By the time we get home wow I have otap, puto seko suka in my tampipi. Ohh I also bought local bag and a hat at a very cheap price ;) nakatawad pa hehe .
After this we still have time so we went to Lucena Quezon for the Kwebang Lagpas (Puting Buhangin).
