Highlighting 2011

What do calamities and tragedies do to you?

Sometimes they shape you up, sometimes they just plainly turn you callous. When Sendong hit my beloved city, I am embarrassed to admit that it was probably the only turning point that made me rethink my priorities. But before I delve into that, I just want to round off my 2011 with a few summaries of what had taken place since then: Continue reading »

I wonder how Sinulog 2012 will be like

Because it is tradition. Because the venues are random. Because the people are a trifecta of creatives. Because the ending is always, always pure adulterated fun.

What I learned during Sinulog 2010

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 stampede 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 goes to work.

This is my bad ass look. Trying too hard.

Boyfie pissed at being late. Teehee. Headed straight to Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) to watch Tom Woodfin’s “The Hawk” fight.
