What to expect this Sinulog in: Fuente Rotunda

Hello,

So, I was on my way home from work when I, as always, passed by the Fuente Circle/Rotunda and found that it was still full of life at 12 MN! People were eating, sharing stories and having a great time!

In this time of pure celebration City-wide, one cannot seem to help to have some of that celebration to spill over to the days dawning the weekend.

So I, The Incursionist!, give you details, in still photos, on what to expect in and around the rotunda this fun-filled weekend.

Fuente Circle is located here:

Transcript of "How to be Alone" by Andrea Dorfman and Tanya Davis

Hello,

I was planning on doing something very productive related to information dissemination for the upcoming Sinulog 2013 event here in Cebu City. Unfortunately, I was thwarted by my medieval cathode ray tube of a PC monitor. It seems that it was overwhelmed with the resolutions of the pictures I wanted to screenshot (resulting to cropped images, at best).

So, the impulsiveness in me decided on a quick fallback plan: to create another transcript for a YouTube video.

Now, a little history I share with this video. I've seen this video during the times when I was at my bedrock. This brought me to surface, so to speak, and made me decide that wallowing around in self-pity and despair is not a good way to go. This was my catalyst, my junction in the long journey of my quarter-life crisis.

This is a video made by Andrea Dorfman, based on a poem of Tanya Davis. I hope you enjoy!

If you are, at first, lonely, be patient.

Sinulog 2013 Routes

Hello once again, people. As you might have realized, I have gotten back into the 'blogosphere' with my previous post. And with the Sinulog festival waiting to rock Cebu City this 2013 yet again, most of you would want to know some appropriate details.

Whether religious or party-nut alike, you might find this post informative. So, here are the routes of another year of prayer and fun mixed into one.

Sinulog 2013 Schedule of Activites

Last January of 2012, Cebu experienced yet another wet (and wild?) mardi gras which spanned for streets on end.The revelers made use of this with a change of shirts and painting their faces with water-soluble colours that melted with a mix of rain and sweat. Even the festival queens and street dancers had nothing left to do, than to  thank and praise the Niño (boy) for quenching the heat of the asphalt.

This year, I plan to give you a peek of how this festival looks like, from a commoner's point-of-view. Straight from my trusty 8.1 megapixel point-and-shoot, I bring you the happenings of Sinulog 2013. Til then, see you!

For those who wish to indulge in the entire experience, here's a complete list of activities:

Rule for a Better Way to Live # 5

Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you can only find "tomorrow" on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and laurels, and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it, all you have. Make it the best day of your year.
