When the whole town celebrates, it doesn’t really matter who won. Thing is, all have enjoyed. Or maybe, yes winning is also nice for bragging rights? Yehey! When all performance’s over, all this photo-hungry people just flock towards the dancers. Who can blame them, all those dancers were cute. They borrowed the head-dress and props to make them look gorgeous in photos. How cool was that? You crazy people, I don’t do it of course. I just capture some creative shots, while searching some friends I knew. But yeah, they were that elusive and hiding (Kristine Galeno, where are you?).
