masskara fever --- literally


The last time I actually experienced Masskara goes back so many years ago. I think it was 2002 pa. Since then, I have been in Bacolod for the past few years during the festival but was always cooped up in the badminton court. From 8am to unholy hours. The worst was probably 12 midnight. Was too tired to do anything anymore and probably had dinner at about 1am already. Never even got to see the plaza, let alone the fun. That was how much of a badminton addict I was. Stress on the WAS.

This year, everything just fell into place and was able to enjoy being there for 2 weekends! Got to do so much and I need the break. A lot of first this weekend, too. The best part about great experiences is that you get to share it with the people who matter most to you. It just elevates the experience to a higher level.


Best parts about this year:
1) Uyyy... unang dalaw. Channeling Sprite at the moment. haha
2) Got to hang out with Mike, Paul, TP, Tonito, the other TP, Malou, Biboy, Paul's boyz (hahaha!), Tina, Joanie, Tita Sonnie. Who else did I miss..?
3) Got to see friends unexpectedly: Andre, Anton, badminton people (who, like me, were glad that there wasn't a tournament this year so we could all let loose and think of other things that a shuttle cock. Pass the Gagita, TP!)
4) Seeing new faces and just people watch. With even more Gagita :-D
5) Can't get enough of Kaisei and Bob's. Inaka, too.
6) Golf cart joy riding around the subdvision.
7) a whole lotta firsts!!!
8) oh yah! and having a doggy crush on hanoi. a handsome german shepherd who i met last friday. almost as cute as his new daddy. ALMOST ;-)

Keeping my fingers crossed for another trip soon with the same cast of characters. Sipalay maybe? ;-)

'Til then, I deserve the sore throat, cough and clogged nose I have right now. Oh yeah, and the headache. But it was sooo worth it.
