OVERDUE: Its been a while.. And I'm back!

Hello guys! It's been awhile seen my last post here on my blog.  Well, that has to stop. :)

So, here's a short update on what I did for the past months:

For January, I've been on a lot of gigs with my friends.  As  member of the Unlisted DBC (a Southwestern University Alumni drum and bugle core), we've been lucky to get a chance to be the instrumentalist of one of Cebu's best dance group, Sandiego dance company (headed by Mr. Val Sandiego), a grand slam champion and hall of famer of the Sinulog Festival.

Our group had been to different events and places with the Sandiego dance company.  From hotels, to fancy restaurants, to parties and even to some provinces in Cebu.  Really is a fun filled experience, priceless.

The group only had the chance to practice for a week, before the Sinulog Grand Marde Gras.  Talk about pressure huh?!,

We had the chance to be a part of the "Halad" held after the Fluvial Parade (Usually held a day before the grand parade) in the Basilica del Sto. Niño.  We get to play the Sinulog beat for the Sandiego Dancers.  It's great to watch them dance, they are really good performers.

Then on the 3rd Sunday of January, the celebration closer - the Sinulog Grand Marde Gras.  For a whole month long of Celebration for Senyor Sto. Niño, this has been the shout, "Pit Senyor!".

Despite getting soaked up under the rain, the celebration continues.  Sto. Niño devotees gathered in the streets and the grand stand to watch the street dancing despite getting wet by the rain, and that includes us.  Not even the rain can stop the event, we just think of it as a blessing.

So much for the first month of the year.  A jam packed experience, something worth to keep.

The month of Love, February, the month of Valentine's.  How did you spend your Valentines Day?  We got ours on a delay, due to work.  However, it's the moment you spend together that really matters, then that for me is an everyday Valentines.

A date with someone special would do for me.  As long as I'm with her.
