We didn't celebrate Sinulog festival like others did, and I think we got cursed.

For how many years now, we haven't really been joining the rest of the town in celebrating the Sinulog Festival. It's because, we have small kids and it's hard to bring them around crowded streets, and even during novena masses at Sto Nino church. So, last Sunday, on the day of Sinulog, we traveled south of Cebu to a nice beach resort and found our retreat there. We missed mass, too, because there were no masses held in the 5 churches that we passed by on the way to our destination. We had a great time when we got to the resorts. It's in Moalboal, Cebu. Fine white sand and clear blue waters welcomed us. We brought our 2 babies, and my 6year old niece. We really enjoyed the place, because there weren't a lot of people, because I think most of the locals and tourists are in the city for Sinulog. It was unusual to not have a lot of people in that beach. The next day, though, my eldest daughter started vomiting, and had fever and wasn't able to join the fun for the rest of the time before we checked out. She even got confined in the hospital for 4 days. My baby also got colds and was feverish, 2 days after the vacation. And, my niece also caught a virus and missed her exam day. I felt sorry for the 3 kids. I didn't want to think that not celebrating the festivity took its toll on them. I hope it was just coincidence. Poor babies.
