The way we were
By Rudy Arizala
We have been discussing in the past up to now, the old customs, traditions and habits in Infanta which have disappeared.
Is it true that according to reports the latest to disappear or to be prohibited is the participation of the saints (images) in the town procession during the Good Friday and town fiesta? And speaking of town fiesta, the traditional "komedya" is no longer held?
So, allow me to send you a copy of the song "The Way We Were" by Barbara Streisand. If there are words I omitted or failed to consider (I merely based it on what I heard from the CD I resently bought from a local store), please send me the corrections.
The song could be re-titled. "The Way We Were in Infanta." Most of the customs, traditions, and practices we used to know when we were growing up have disappeared. They now merely exist in our memories.
Regards and happy reminiscence of your youth in Infanta..

THE WAY WE WERE
by Barbara Streisand
Humm. . humm. . .humm..
Memories, like the corners of my mind
Misty mode of kind of memory
All the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
That is be that is what is all so simple then
All then one time of every life
If we have the chance to do it all again
Tell me, won´t we?, Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What to pain for two, remember
We simply choose to forget
Though it´s the last time, we will remember
All that what we will remember
The way we were
The way we were!
