My Rammmpa at the 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

On my second year to witness this exciting and colorful flying event in the country, let me first say BIG THANK YOU to bloggers Eric of Byahilo.com and Jonel of LetsGoSago.com for the free tickets that they gave to me and my friends to this 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta at Clark, Angeles, Pampangga.

This is "the flying event" that we've been waiting for, and despite of an early call time to catch these beautiful balloons color the space above Clarkfield, Pampangga, there were still thousands of spectators managed to be at this 4-day event and let themselves be amazed with the show that the Philippine Air Force has prepared for everybody.

I was lucky to be with a group of cool blogger-friends that day, and despite of all of us lacking some good sleep, we all had a great time bonding together at the last day of 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.

Love is in the Air with Zoocobia Fun Zoo's Wish Lantern Festival

This Love Month, aside from the different Valentine's Day promos and activities that you are seeing all over the metropolis and aside from the country's most attended fiestas and festivals such as the Panagbengga Festival of Baguio City and the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta of Angeles City, Clark, specifically Zoocobia Fun Zoo, has come up with another captivating and lovely festival that couples and even singles can enjoy! This year, let's also join the Wish Lantern Festival!

Who doesn't enjoy that scene in "Tangled" where Rapunzel and Flynn Rider singing on the boat with thousands of lanterns flying over them? It is one of the many scenes in many movies that I will never forget because it was really, really great. The effects, the animation, the colors, the acting, and the scoring, everything is perfect!

And this time, I think I can have the chance to experience something lovely like that with this Wish Lantern Festival. This is like a post-Chinese New Year celebration and pre-Valentine's Day celebration rolled into one.

The 17th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, It's Flying Time Again!

I had a chance to witness the amazing 16th Hot Air Balloon Festival at Clark Airfield, Angeles City last year. It was so amazing that I wanna do repeat this year. But this time, I wanna make sure that I'll be there even before the sun rises up because I wanna see them all fly!

Last year was my first-ever Hot Air Ballon Fiesta, and though some of my expectations weren't met, I must say that I had a great time looking up in the sky watching our brave pilots fly in the air like some superheroes.

There were really a lot of activities to watch out for, so if I were you, you should also be there earlier so not to miss anything. And for your reference here's the schedule of this 4-day long flying extravaganza.
