Sinulog!

one of the most popular, exciting, incredible, fun-filled festivals of the year!


...and i choose to stay at home, thank you very much.

This festival supposed to be in honor of the child Jesus, we so fondly call Sto. Nino. And yet, it seems that the festival has lost its meaning. Maybe not for everyone, but i don't see how getting drunk out of your mind exalts Sto. Nino in any way.

What awaits me if i enter the world of the unknown? For one thing, crowds. I cannot stand them. And crowds of people rubbing against each other bring about a certain... odor, and a nasty one at that! The putrid smell of nicotine will drive me away faster than cheetah having an adrenalin rush. (Gosh, bad metaphor, but i've no time to think right now.) As i mentioned above, drunks who have lost their mind, and that just isn't good for anybody.

Well okay, i probably shouldn't be so bitter. It is a festival after all. And i guess today i will brave the outside world a few times, just to not be anti-social, but will retreat back to my homely haven.

Hmmm... i love what this celebration stands for. We ought to give thanks to Sto. Nino for the wonders He's done for our city. I just think we should give Him due respect by not doing the things we know he'd disapprove of. Nothing is wrong with having fun. And i don't wanna come across as some sour kill - joy. (Which is difficult to do since i feel so strongly about this) It's just that, well, everything in moderation. Yes?

PIT SENIOR EVERYONE!

cheers!
