Fourth of July celebration today. Went to see the parade. Lots of goodies and freebies for children, as well as for adults. Amusement rides and playkits, free meals, kiddie games -- these are just some of the things I saw during the celebration for Independence day. I would have taken some pictures so I could show you guys how Independence Day is celebrated here but alas, I didn't have a digicam then. Anyway at 7pm we went to this high school baseball field and waited for the fireworks display to begin. But before that, let me just tell you that I bought my digicam that afternoon -- that's why I wasn't able to take pictures of the parade but of the fireworks instead. Yep you read it right. Hehe. I just hope my mom and aunt won't see this or else, I'm good as dead. Here are some pics I took during the wait for the event:



And here are pictures of the fireworks itself, these ones taken with a 3D sunglasses (hence the additional rainbow lights hehe):



And these are the ones seen by my naked eye:



Ganda noh! I should have bought a SD/MMD card so I could at least capture even a 15-sec video clip of the whole display. Ah well, at least I was able to take some pictures. ('Twas hard watching the display at the same time sneaking to take some pictures when you're not supposed to have a camera. Hehe.)
