it's sinulog festival here in here and everybody is enthusiastically greeting everyone "pit seƱor!" raymond, win, roan, honey, pat, bozzing and i went to mango avenue to see the what the people are all going crazy about. we literally walked but not as far as i thought. it was so hot then suddenly rained. the weather here in cebu is really unpredictable.
i enjoyed, yes. who wouldn't??? we watched the dances with raymond and win! not to mention how weird honey was for going to the festival alone early morning! sometimes that girl is really crazy!
the festival was like the opening salvo of our dinagyang in iloilo. they just danced in not so ethnic way. more of an interpretative dance unlike in iloilo where the dancers are dressed as warriors in full battle gear and skin painted in black imitating the itas. the dance itself is not as enjoyable but it seemed like the crowd appreciated it.
i don't want to be biased. but i think the merry making is not as fun as in iloilo. you need to locate your crowd here in cebu. in iloilo we just go to the city proper and everybody's there. no social barriers at all. the best times of my life were during the dinagyang festival and so far the best festival that i've had.
nevertheless, i still enjoyed walking and laughing to the jokes and punchlines of raymond and win. nothing as much to say.
