day 2 - Sto. Niño novena

Day 2
SINULOG 2010
officially open!

My sister and I attended the 2:30pm novena mass yesterday and we were greeted by the colorful costumes of the dancers along with the number of politicos in attendance. Little did we know, that after the mass was the official opening of SINULOG 2010.

We were so excited that we squeezed in between bodies just to get a better spot and tiptoed to the highest just to get a better view. Only to find out that the dancers were immediately shooed to the streets as the Basilica was just the starting point of the street dancing parade. tsk tsk. After all the stiff neck we got!

We would have wanted to go to the City Sports Complex to see the grand performances but aside from having to worry about the entrance, when we could even hardly pay for the parking!, our little camera's battery died on us, so my sister concluded that it would just beat our purpose of going there. It sucked! Much more when our little camera started blinking battery empty, people with BIG cameras and telescopic lenses stood beside us shooting all their time away. Ugh! I'm not bitter just stating an experience. hahaha.

Anyway seeing all the festive colors of the dancers yesterday made me giddy with excitement . I love Sinulog. It's the greatest event to kick off the year! :)
