Travel | Sinulog Festival + Cebu Chillin'

- May 13, 2015

Day 01

We arrived in Cebu on the weekend of the festival so the traffic was heavy and most roads were closed. Me and my friends had to get out the cab and walked to our hotel, counter-flowing the parade and the massive crowd wasn't easy. When we finally arrived at the hotel, we met up with the rest of our Cebuano friends, settled for a while and prepped for our first night out.

We checked out La Vie Parisienne - A wine bar at the heart of the city.

The architecture and decor was really pretty with all the lights and fancy music.

at the wine cellar.

Yes. People got drunk that night but we won't talk about that hahahha

Day 02

Once the drunk kids were up, we started preparing to join the event.

We printed our own #retardconsinulog2015 tshirts to wear during the festival.

Why white? Because it looks great with paint on hahaha Paint smudging is a modern tradition during the festival. Of course we wouldn't want to miss that!

This was taken earlier that afternoon, what I looked like after the paint smudge-apalooza is far worse though. haha If you do not want to be randomly painted by people stay at home! But experiencing Sinulog ain't complete without a single paint streak on your face. It's the perfect time to let go and let me tell you panting strangers on their face on the street is kinda liberating. Everyone is cool about it so why not join the fun!

We stayed over at a local bar to chill out after that crazy afternoon. As we wait for the night parties to start.

Endless stories, Billards and Beers.

Me and some friens went out to get stuff at 7-11 when we saw this outdoor bar with soap bubbles flying everywhere. And we're like "let's check it out!" turns out it was an open party and we just need to pay 150php to get in and we also get 1 free drink.

Best decision ever!

After a few songs, we went out to call our other friends still at the drinking bar to join us.

We party'd like animals all night!

Here's my short video of that day.

It was an endless night of music and soap.

Day 03
Well technically what's left of our day three since most of us were lazy to wake up since we slept really late in the morning post festival.
