♥♥♥ thank you ♥♥♥

admittedly, i'm not a good blogger. i write blogs for my own record/story to read in the future (say 10 or 20 years from now) or for me to share  to my future kids... at the same time, i can follow some best bloggers that would somehow inspire me.

as i explore the settings and features, i found out that you can actually check your view statistics; i am truly humbled and overwhelmed to learn that my posts have actually been viewed worldwide..... 

charrrrroot haha

from the bottom of my heart, i say "THANK YOU" ...to all who spend time in reading and those who just run through my blogs. I know no one from Russia but surprisingly, my 2nd most readers/viewers are from Russia. This is so WOW!!! Thank You ♥

also, to everyone from USA, UK, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Singapore, Canada and of course Philippines... SALAMAT!!!

I will try my best to post more in the coming days... including those of my previous trips :-)

Again, THANK YOU!!!     I ♥ LOVE ♥ YOU

Pit Señor, Cebu! Pit Señor, world!!!

Cebu has probably the longest Christmas Season in the world. It doesn't end on New Year neither on 3 Kings' Day. yes, you guess it right! SINULOG it is!!!!... SINULOG came first into my mind when DOT (Dept. of Tourism) released their recent slogan:  "it's more fun in the Philippines,"

AND the kid in me is back. i'm super excited na naman. Never had i missed to join sinulog (except 2009 for our company outing in Bohol and 2010 in Corrigedor)... excited for the activities i used to join: daily novena mass, mañanita, bonggang fireworks, colorful floats and of course the grand mardegras parade. If not all, most of the major streets in Cebu City is full of banderitas, the super alive street market in Colon St. and Osmeña Blvd, street parties (all streets literally in party mode)... don't ever forget the street food yay!

mañanita mass (Sunday - 4am)

street foods (right-left-down): banana Q - tempura, taho, BBQ -sweet corn

street market since December

fireworks

"banderitas" are all over city streets

...AND here we go!!! getting ready for the neverending walk, Grand Parade baby!

colorful floats, unfortunately we're at a not so good "pwesto" to take photos
tsk tsk tsk sayang

temporary tattoo: henna tattoo :-)

our faces from a mini stampede... naipit but "keri" lang :-)

what got me more excited this year... the fluvial parade!!!! yes!!! i'm so happy. it's my first time... parade will start 7am but as early as 4am, i was up and ready (obviously dili kaayo ko excited noh haha). Thanks to the Villa Family who invited us to join and offer free tickets to get on-board vessel Mv Euro Tres...
