I
was born in Bacolod
but could not remember watching Masskara events. My uncle and my dad used to
dance and perform for Lopue's. So when the longing to see grandma
couldn't get out of my head, I booked a flight - not to Bacolod
but to Iloilo.
As it was just 2 weeks prior to Masskara's highlight, airfare to Bacolod were either sold
out or the price skyrocketed already. Good thing Bacolod
is a mere 2 hours away from Iloilo
Airport. Or so I thought. Gathering up all the delays and wait time, it took me
roughly 8 hours to finally get there. I left home 3:30AM, I arrived at my gram's house around 11:30AM. Serious.

Met up with Couchsurfing friends from Cebu during lunch and we had batchoy at 21. Service was terrible. It took them an hour to bring our orders.

I opted to just watch the competition at home via live telecast as it was raining hard. I was also booking flights and packages while on vacation. Business as usual!
Thankfully the rain finally stopped, so off I went to Lacson St. for the Electric Masskara parade around 8PM.
