Sinulog Awards Ceremony

Monday, January 19, 2004

By Sunday evening, after two days of "hard Sinulog partying", I was tired and eager to spend a few days focusing on sleep and relaxation.......but No. Monday morning I went to the Immigration office in Mandaue to renew my almost-expired tourist visa, and then upon arriving back at the McSherry I got a text from my good friend Gary Forbes. He wanted me to join him at the Cebu City Sports Complex to take more pictures, this time for the Awards Ceremony and Repeat Performances of Winners. "OK, but this is really the last Sinulog event I have to attend, right?"
