Lady Unveiled: youth

You'll know you're in the right place to be every third Sunday of January, that place is Cebu. For those who may not know what goes on on the third Sunday of January, well it's a little festival called Sinulog which commemorates the Filipino's pagan origin and their acceptance of Roman Catholicism through one Child, Senyor Santo Niño.

All streets are closed, streamers are up hanging on wires, street parade of dancing contingents perform and an endless number of street parties happen all in just one Sunday. Yuhp, the second most awaited time of the year in Cebu, Sinulog 2014.

I took most of my pictures through my phone and paint happened so I only got the chance to take a few. This year my friends and I decided to go on a festive maroon-color for our group shirt. I did a little #CutAndStyle of my own here, although not that visible. Haha!

The place to be at every Sinulog for you party-goers out there who just wants good vibes, check reality off, is Baseline. What's so off-the-hook about this year's party, Quintino was the headline DJ. Unfortunately (and I regret this everytime), I wasn't able to hear him cause I was at a friend's house. *sobbing

But the whole-day party at Baseline never ends so you might as well go as early as you can or if you're that small or strong enough, you shove people out of your way to get in. I kid, I kid.

Shorts from WAGW, Boots from Doc Martens

Here are stills and photos that I grabbed from Spectrum Experience's page. All these photos aren't from me.

The break that I desperately need is here. Hello, sembreak!

Now I get to focus on my blog and take more outfit shots. Here's my long overdue outfit shot way back in September on my parents' anniversary sans dad.

Lace Crop Top from Fash Ion | Sheer Black Midi Skirt from Forever 21 | Turquoise Ring from WAGW

Their anniversary fell on a Sunday so Church was the first agenda to do. I picked out a classic colorblocking outfit of a white laced crop top and sheer black skirt to complement the top. I chose my favorite WAGW turquoise ring to add a pop of color to my outfit and finish it off with ribbon flats. I also tried to test out my makeup skills by putting on myself some Egyptian-inspired eyeliner makeup. What do you think? Needs more practice?

I'll be posting soon where my family and I ate for the anniversary.

Where could you possibly find music, dance, booze and meeting new friends all happen in just one place, in one unforgettable night? Oh and not to mention, it's a "Concert for Cause"? Well, the answer: Univercity 2013 at the SRP Grounds of Cebu. Now, as I promised to you all, here's 5 of the many happenings on what went down to the most awaited college festival of the year.

1. "Sound is half the picture." - bands and djs completed the event

It's never a party or a festival without the upbeat tempo of the drums or the climactic thump of a dj's mix. Undoubtedly, you wouldn't miss the 40-feet high stage that featured Cebu's best bands and djs. We've got bands from Drop Decay and The Ambassadors to djs Mister Mozo, Jom Gonzales and Republiq's very own Mars Miranda (which I had the privilege of meeting and picking him up from the airport, haha!). Sound was definitely the half of the festival's picture.

2. Pyroworks, confetti, stage light and all techy at its best

The very first thing I vividly see, since finishing my working hours, are the fireworks up in the sky. I was literally 3 feet away from the fireworks (if that's even possible), just looking up the whole time 'cause the pyroworks were spot on. The stage was MASSIVE, everything tech-related you can see on the stage. They even got the confettis blown out of nowhere to hype up the party. Talk about massive.

3. Brands, brands, brands everywhere

From Roxy to JanSport, from Islands Souvenir to Rhipstop, you name it. Univercity was the ultimate pit stop to go when it came to a festival of brands. There were games and trivias the people could play in exchange for awesome shoes, bags and what not.

4. The foods and the booze

You don't want to have hungry people for 11 hours without having anything in their stomachs. I wouldn't want to see that. So Univercity got everything from Braddex, Thirsty, Bananarific, Chillage, Chowking and Monster Energy, to name a few. And what's a party without the booze, without the drinks? Not Univercity. Haha!

5. We leave with old friends and new friends by our side

Univercity 2013 was all about bringing old friends to dance the night away and meeting new people from different schools at the same time. It was all about uniting as one, becoming each other's friends, something what college wouldn't offer. Beyond the College Exeprience. Univercity did all of that just for one night, that's what makes this the start of something new. A new tradition that would go a long way.

'Til next time.
