Save Mother Earth at Makati's Caracol Festival 2011

I've been working here in Makati for how many years now, and believe it or not, last Sunday was the first time to witness and experience Makati City's Caracol Festival - and 'twas so fabulous!

With a theme of "Save Mother Earth", participants for the parade and street dance competition were dressed  in different attractive and colorful earthly attires that gave this festival a wonderful and very festive look.

I got a chance to see the parade and street dance competition, even their preparations and here are the pictures:

18th Travel Tour Expo 2011

Dubbed as Around the World in Three Days, this 18th Travel Tour Expo 2011 was brought to us by Philippine Travel Agencies Association (PTAA) in cooperation with a dozen of travel agencies, airlines, cruise lines, international and local tour operators, hotels, resorts, some government agencies and travel shops last February 18 to 20 at SM Mall of Asia - SMX.

It was first time to attend such exhibit of wonderful offers and I'm honestly saying that if it happened that I have a lot of money (or my credit card can afford it) that day, I think I booked like five trips that day. Hahaha. But since I'm already booked for a Bacolod-Iloilo-Gumaiaras trip on the second half of the year, I only went to this expo for the mere experience and to get some free infos about those three places that I'm about to discover.

The entrance fee is Php50.00, I think its the same as last year. 

It’s Panagbenga Time!

Dubbed as the most colourful feast in the country because of its natural colors from the flowers used in the costumes and floats during the grand parade, which is always on the last weekend of this month-long festival, the Panagbenga means “season of blooming” in Kankanaey.

Every establishment, company, school and community participates in this very lovely festival in where they showcase their wonderful crafts and talent for designing and dancing.

And this coming February 26 and 27, the most awaited and anticipated Grand Festival Parade and Street Dance will be held once again on the busiest road of Baguio City - Session Road.

I’ll be out of town that weekend, but unfortunately, I wouldn’t be in Baguio City.

It is kinda sad because the first and last time I witness this grand event was last 2008, and it’s been three years now… It’s been a long time.

The 16th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival

Packed with love for balloons and other flying objects, some food, money and shirt, I and two of my superfriends went to Clark Field, Pampangga to co-celebrate and witness for the first time the 16th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival.

We’ve been hearing a lot of great stuff about this event, and so, early this year we decided to see it with our own two eyes and enjoy the said flying objects up-close and personal.

At around 9 a.m., we took a Philippine Rabbit bus at Recto Avenue, Manila. This transpo costs us Php120.00 each. It drove us from Manila to SM Clark where we took our next vehicle – a jeepney ride that will take us to the main gate of Air Force City, Clark, Pampangga. This jeepney ride costs us Php8.00 each.

Upon arriving the busy road to the main gate, I texted Miss Kankan, who’s been so nice to give me tickets to this event. The ticket cost Php150.00, so I’m really thankful to Miss Kankan because it saved us some money. :-) Thanks, Miss Kankan and Sir Laszlo!

Zipline at Residence Inn - Tagaytay

Looking for a place where you want to spend the coming Valentine's weekend? If you are looking for a place that is cold and gives you a breathtaking view with some fun and exhilarating activities to enjoy, why not head to Residence Inn - Tagaytay! It's just some miles away from Manila....

When I went there last summer, they are just starting to build their Zipline. And now... Now, they now have a Zipline with Taal Volcano as the background!!! Wee!

I saw it with my own two eyes, and by just looking at it, I can feel the excitement and fun...
Though, I'm not ready to take the dare yet. Hahaha!
