First, I’d
like to say sorry for posting this a bit too late. Well, being late is better
than never, right? :D I just thought
that this trip deserves nothing but a great blog entry. So I took my Saturday
rest day to come up with something not as great as I wanted, but something that
would somehow describe one of the best trips in my life, ever!
Strange
people to a totally strange place with nothing but hopes and excitement, this
trip is a hell of a total adventure! The four of us: Nona, Faith (who filed a
leave), Che (the ambushed girl), and I traveled from South to North to witness
the 18th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in
Pampanga.

We were in
the most perfect spot to witness the event of everything that flies. Having
said the perfect spot, we didn’t let other people to get in our spot so we
stayed there the entire day and enjoy everything under the sun. Literally,
under the sun! Hahaha! Good thing we’re all girlscouts and we all have
umbrellas. Also, thanks to Faith’s BB Cream for the SPF 30+. Good job!
Let me share
you some of the highlights of PIHABF (On its last day):
Planes
entertain us almost 60% of the day. Hahaha! Activities include: Paragliding
exhibition, Meynard Halili Aerobatic Exhibition, Light Aircraft Balloon
Bursting Competition, Radio Controlled Model Aircraft Exhibition, Microlight
Aircraft Formation, German Glider Flight, Airplane Banner Towing Exhibition and
many more!
Car Drifting
Demonstration in which Che became a part of. The host chose her to be one of
the lucky audience to experience car drifting.
Saraaap!
Uhhhh. I miss Pampanga everytime I see these
pictures of cute hot air balloons. Cute yet huge hot air balloons. Hahaha! Palakpakan
sa naka-imbento sa bagay na ito!

Insert
heart-shaped eyes on here. Hahaha! This is the highlight of my day! Our day, I
mean. The Breitling Jet Team Aerobatic Exhibition! It’s their first time in
Asia, first in the Philippines. Oha! I’ve never seen in my entire life, as
great as their performance. Call me exaggerated, but it’s true. GREAT.
FANTASTIC. SPECTACULAR. AWESOME. BREATHTAKING. AMAZING. Uhh, I’m running out of
adjectives na! Hahaha!
Here’s the
video of their exhibition:
The
teary-eyed moment on their performance is when the leader, Jacques Bothlelin (I
google-d his name, fan na fan lang!), say thank you via phone patch while
they’re still on air. Hahahay. I’m in love with pilots. Idoooool!!!!
The day and
also the event ended with a blast. They set all the hot air balloons, aired it
up for the last time. Fantastic! Our eyes are rejoicing and our hearts are
filled with joy seeing those balloons in front of us. Then a super bonggang
fireworks display lighted up the sky! GOOSEBUMPSSSSS!
Things I
learned in this trip:
- 1. If there’s a will, there’s a way
- 2. Take every risk, everything is going to be worth it of your courage
- 3. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet, if plan A didn’t work, there’s plan B to Z!
