Where art thou, Giant balloons?

Since I haven't been writing (a lot) this year (BOOO!!), I'll be posting 2012 past events :)

The 17th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Festival - A weekend of everything that flies!

Last February 9-12,2012 at Clak freeport zone, Pampanga

Me & Rence (my prime partner in crime) was scheduled to meet 2:00 in the morning but, as expected we both woke up a little (well, super) too late. so instead of having an early trip to pampanga, we left the metro at around 4:00 AM, which is not a very good idea.

Travel time was around 2 & a half hour (bus to Dau terminal & jeep to the freeport).
we arrived at the event at 6:30 AM. 

WE WERE TOO LATE TO SEE GIANT BALLOONS UP IN THE AIR :(

But, aside from the balloons, there were other interesting happenings going on at the event so we weren't that disappointed. PLUS! we heard that there will be a hot air balloon night glow.

                     Upon arrival.            
Ahoy Matey! 

Spotting interesting stuffs to shoot

Everything that flies daw eh?

Rest. :)

Wishlist: Fly an airplane :)

This, I miss. 

Hey! Don't play with weapons!

Not quite sure what this aircraft is called but it sure is huge!



  GAME FACE ON! (+ Get-up) :)


 Look what I found, An angel. phew! :p

You won't go hungry here! They have a wide variety of food stalls around the vicinityn& tables & chairs are present too.
