If you are one of those people like me that watches UK X-Factor, you should possibly know the four "pocket rockets" from the Philippines that raised the roof of the Wembley Arena in London during their audition.



Although they were not new to contests, it was still a great milestone to have reached UK audiences. Not to mention that the famous show produces really good talents that are still successful at this time being.

As for me, their last performances were perfect but I was expecting a little more different because I kind of heard it somewhere in some parts of the internet, specially Youtube. Yes it was very polished, but I didn't like the songs chosen. Well I'm no professional, its only my personal opinion.



Lauren Murray on the other hand has this vocal power to really get you confused on who should stay. I guess, that is the same reason the judges were on 'deadlock', leaving the decision to the public's vote. I like how Lauren pulled that 'You don't own me...' song, however I wish there was more body language.



I kind of agree to Cheryl's opinion on how she think the British audience responded that maybe it was because the girls (4th Impact) were too perfect that it felt a little 'perfect'. So, Lauren was spared and 4th Impact was out.





I'm still a fan of the 4th Impact. No worries with their careers because they have already showcased their talents to the world. Opportunity will come their way for sure.

Cebu is one of those cities that I have fell in love with. It is fresh, fashionable, and simply the kind of hustle and bustle that gives you peace at the same time.

One of the city's highlights is its annual festivity to honor Sr. Sto. Niño. People will crowd the Basilica Minor of Sto. Niño in Cebu City, Philippines. They pray and give thanks to child Jesus.

Different activities are held on this occasion. This includes Miss Cebu, which is one of the prestigious beauty pageant in the country. The firework contest and exhibitions from SM and Ayala malls gives night-walkers' their fill.

But one grand occasion defines it all, the Sinulog festival-- the Grand Parade.

Streets will start to get busy, major roads connecting to Fuente all through-out the Basilica will be closed and people will start to fill it to witness the floats and dancing.

Contingents from different part of the country participate in this street dancing competition organized by the city. It was an amazing experience seeing colorful costumes and props turned into art by traditional dances.

People at night becomes more saturated in General Maxilom area where clubs and street parties are raving. This includes a lot of alcohol and casualties. So a tip, be a responsible person and stay away from things that can ruin your experience.

Schedule of activities are usually ready for people to view two months prior of the said month event. Before I usually take the time to reblog the schedule from the committee's website and facebook page.

Now, I'm physically far from my home country. Hoping to get a lot of pictures on facebook to get envy with.

What's your plan for this coming Sinulog 2016?

As a first timer for this occasion, I find it very exciting and interesting on how this country is so proud of their achievements. I have so much admiration to how they have unified and created a very solid ground for growth and prosper for their people and for me as an expat.

Here are some of my shots on my latest on the road exploration of United Arab Emirates. In this post, meet some desert and rocky mountain formations. Please enjoy the view.

And since it is more of a road trip, most of my pictures are taken from view inside the car.
