love sporting country attire

I live in a tropical country. For the most part of the year, we have a very hot humid season. So wearing hunter boots is not a fad around here. But i don't care! I love boots! I love to wear them!

When i was in Michigan some years ago, i so wanted to buy a pair of hunter wellington boots and bring it home. Too bad, it wasn't going to fit in my luggage anymore and i won't be able to use it here. But it's really a lovely pair that i would want to wear them everyday. Told my friends in MI to buy their own pair since they could use it more often than i'll do.

When i went to Hongkong last December of 2008, i think i saw some hunter wellies on sale. I wanted to buy a pair badly. I don't know but i just love sporting boots. I think they're a cool apparel. These particular brand of boots are interesting because they have a variety of style to choose from. Maybe someday, i get to wear this type of footwear whenever i want to.

long weekend

Ylangurl is bored yet excited for the long weekend to come. It's a short working week for her since last Friday was a holiday - Independence Day. She's happy she didn't have to work that day. Another long weekend she's about to enjoy this coming Friday, Lapulapu Charter Day. Well, the original date of holiday is on Wednesday but the company she's working with decided to swap it on Friday! Hurray! She have no special plans though but just being not in the office is a relief. Don't get her wrong, not that she likes to be out of work but she just wants to be free. She is so lazy these days.

Sinulog 2009

I know, there's much photos and stories about the Sinulog that you can read and view already. But let me share my little post anyway.

Sinulog is the most festive. Most celebrated. Most visited social occasion in the country if i may say. And the most awaited affair by most if not all Cebuanos. It's more than a week long celebration that culminates every 3rd Sunday of January with a grand mardigras participated not only by Cebuanos but by other neighboring provinces as well. New York crowd scene? Hongkong scene? Far cry from the Sinulog scene? Almost!


taken 1st week of January, Fuente Cirle


just striking a pose in the stands... never really watched the parade this year... went out only in the evening to watch the fireworks


Glorie with the Sinulog participants
(they must be tired already, they've been dancing since morning)



watched 3rd String play in The Terraces after the fireworks show

Now, Cebu is back to its mellow atmosphere...

wassup cebu?

Holler to all the Cebuanos out there! Few more days and it's once again the most awaited Sinulog mardigras!

Starting Friday of last week, traffic is exasperating anywhere from Capitol to Fuente to Mango Avenue to Colon down to Sto. Nino Church. Festivity is in the air despite the gloomy weather these days. Hopefully the weather will cooperate come Sunday so that visitors and locals alike will enjoy the Sinulog full blast.

Viva Pit Senyor!

cheers!

Happy New Year! :)
all the best in 2009

Shot On The Spot

I got this interesting tag from my other blog and thought of posting it here too.


So, this is it - an unedited picture (except for the text and not that i edit my photos, no i don't) of me taken just a minute ago. I'm at work, underneath my smock is my tailored uniform (pencil-cut skirt and blouse with blazer). Maklaro na ang nitubo nga kulot sa akong buhok! bwahaha! :D

Here are the rules of this tag:

1) Take a picture of yourself right NOW!.
2) DON'T change your clothes, DON'T fix your hair... Just take a picture.
3) Post that picture with NO editing.
4) Post these instruction with your picture.
5) Tag 10 people to do this..

Come join the fun. Grab your camera and take a photo of yourself on the spot. :)

P.S. While millions of Filipinos rejoiced because Manny "Pacman" won against Oscar, the Golden Boy, on their bout yesterday. I wept because i rooted for Oscar de la Hoya!!! Bleh, sorry guys, maka Oscar gyud ko! hehe! I'm not a boxing fan but i am a de la Hoya fan. ;)
