SUBSCRIBESinulog effect: Paltos!
My feet was sore from walking 6 kilometers during the Sinulog mardi gras which was on a hard cement road with most of the time sunny alternating with light showers that I developed a paltos! Not really sure what the english term is but its a condition when a part of the skin of the feet is in constant friction with a surface that the affected area becomes sort of watery. When it bursts and the raw skin is exposed, its really painful. Other than that, I was sunburnt and just dead tired that I went home at around 1700H without waiting for the fireworks display.
I’ll blog about the Sinulog events this Tuesday Wednesday as I need to rest early since other than the tiredness, my flight back to Makati is 0500H.
Lefthand is right: paltos is blister! Thanx

It seems Sinulog 06 was a tiring experience for you!
