"Ramblings in Life Events On and Offline"

Seems I have been on a hiatus (again) but in terms of interacting to fellow bloggers both online and offline , I haven’t blog hopped that much for the past week because of the Sinulog Festival and other stuff XD. Also returned few comments and as a result , well, haven’t interacted with other bloggers that much. Though most of my post are well.. events which is becoming a niche of this blog (yes, this is kinda an event blog but a little bit on the personal side meaning I attended the event itself and make a post about it or a sponsored event by invites from different company in promotion of their products and services (a return of all my blogging XD ).

It is getting to be an event blog or something which is kinda obvious, thought I tried to post events (particularly) all of the time, if ever I was in that event, I always tried my best to interact with my readers (if I have any, lol) and also to fellow bloggers especially those who commented even if it is for the sake of increasing backlinks, traffic, bloghopping or even critics, haha.. Nevertheless, it is still a good way to interact other bloggers.

Just wondering how is your blogging life so far?, seems this is one of my random and useless ramblings but who am I to judge my own blogpost ,haha.. Maybe I can get back on track starting this week or maybe getting a bit of momentum of bloghopping, updating blogpost and post interesting and helpful topics (easier said than done). Cheers!

Sinulog Photo Contest ID

First of all, Happy New Year to all the people out there. Since it is the first day of the year, I will start this year by highlighting by nothing more than the Sinulog Festival 2012 as my first post.

Though the holidays are all over for some. Here in Cebu , the party extends up to three weeks for the various events and celebrations for the Sinulog 2012 mardi gras. Yes, there maybe few days of rest after the holidays but this probably the biggest event here in Cebu and even as we speak, lots of preparations are already on the way like hotel reservations, school dance practice, food, street parties, contingents from other cities and many more.

This is also a very exciting event for me (not only as a blogger) , but also as one of the contestants in the Sinulog Photo Contest. It is my first time to join a photography contest so it is kinda exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Though my purpose really is not to be in the first place but to gain access to some of the spots to get better shots. I am always hopping to have a shot (lucky shot that is lol).

The contest is open to all professional and amateur (me) photographers and you will just have to register in their Sinulog Foundation Office located in Abellana school where it is also where the grand parade and stage performance will happen. The application fee is not really that cheap for 1000 pes0s 0_o , and the limit of number of contestants are 2000 which is similar to last year.

The fee includes a Sinulog ID Pass, a Canon ID Strap and the Official Sinulog Photography Contestant t-shirt (I really thought it was a vest or something)

Here are the guidelines if you are in Cebu want to join the photo contest.

1. Modes of Picture Take being considered.

Film Category – Any analog camera film size/format can be used, as long as the final entry must be a printed (5”x7”)

Hotel Elizabeth Cebu Turns 1

This is the third hotel I have visited this month so my mind is still very fresh in terms of reviewing and writing about hotels here in Cebu. This time, we got the chance to tour around the rooms with its amenities. They just celebrated their anniversary and we were invited to celebrate and have a tour around their rooms.

First we went to their most expensive Executive Penthouse Suite which roughly cost 13k 0_o , really cozy place with almost perfect amenities , state of the art and clean comfort rooms comparable to 5 Star Hotel.

Then we went to their Penthouse Suite, Executive Suite and Deluxe Rooms. Also like the theme of their rooms which has the mediterranean style setting. Though it is kinda expensive (personally lol ), the service is really very good for a new hotel. The location is also very ideal for those who want to be at the heart of the city, just a few meters away from Ayala Center Cebu, Cebu Business Park and also from my workplace :) . The staff are also very accomodating and our tour guide XD did a great job in showing and elaborating us each rooms.
