What I learned during Sinulog 2010

February 2nd, 2010 Kristine Roa Posted in Events, Kristine Roa, Red Letter Days, Sinulog 1 Comment » 295 views

Happy February! Sorry for the late post. Been to Cagayan de Oro again last weekend for my friend’s wedding. Will be posting that soon. Meanwhile, I just have to post my preemptive Sinulog blog.

Have anyone been ready for last month’s Sinulog festivities? Not that it requires TOO much effort to do that but when last year I attempted on  what are the essentials and the must-haves you must tote around with you come the Sinulog 2010 Mardi Gras/Street Parties, I was not really doing so much this year.

1. Stampede-ready shoes. It is highly unlikely that a stampede happens during Sinulog street parties but a stampeded usually means a scream fest because a Kapamilya celebrity is waving at them from their floats.
2. Sunblock. Carry one not wear it!
3. Water. Water. Water.
4. Street-Party light. This means that the lighter, the better. If you feel the need to carry essentials such as extra t-shirts, alcohol, cotton swabs, leave them in the car. Sling or messenger bags help keep you from worrying where you last placed your stuff.
5. Camera! Even if you didn’t sign up for the Sinulog Photo Contest and paid P650 for the PRESS ID, you can still get very beautiful stills even at the sidelines and viewing decks.
6. Lipgloss. Instant retouch, anyone? :)
7. Scholl for a bunion-free life!

Day 1, Friday

Dinner at The Walk with the boyfie before he does to work.

Sinulog 2009

February 3rd, 2009 Kristine Roa Posted in Cebu City, Events, Red Letter Days, Sinulog No Comments » 177 views

What a way to jumpstart your 2009 with a Sinulog cum Mardi Gras festival, you think? Sorry for the late Sinulog post but I’ve been stuck with these memes for so long I guess I just had fun typing down something that doesn’t require an entire paragraph to compose.

Friday was Hed Kandi’s social hurrah brought to you by BIGFISH productions and Nokia Music at the CICC hall and man, that place is huge! And the crowd was bigger! People paid for those expensive 15,000 pesos worth of VIP tables and still people can climb up those platforms. But anyway, thanks to Vudu for the invites, I did manage to enjoy all that cream rave party that Andy Daniels, Johnboy Lee and Peyton Christopher brought down. After watching the Hed Kandi girls, I decided for the nth time that I’m going to be as skinny as them and dance my way to house nirvana hahah!

Sinulog 2007

January 23rd, 2007 Kristine Roa Posted in Sinulog No Comments » 43 views

Belated Viva Pit Senyor!

The feast of Sto. Niño rocked Visayas so bad that Seniang couldn’t even do much as ruffle Cebu’s feathers. If you want detailed documentation with a gallery of photos and text that has nothing to do with me, open this, or this. 

 

Friday  was frappes with Martin Pulgar before dinner with Boy Abunda pre-concert with Nyoy Volante and Sitti   at the ballroom of Waterfront Hotel in Lahug. Thanks to Breakfast Club  for the front row seats. @ Alejandros nothing like Josh’s version of the Cosmo to kiss Friday night adios. Heavenly. Saturday’s  lunch with the Zubiris was heavenlier.
