Weekend Of Everything That Flies

at the 19th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Clark Field, Pampanga

It was held last February 12-15, 2015 and we were able to come on the last day to finally see a hot air balloon up close (it's been on my bucket list since forever!!!), as well as the celebration of my mom's birthday. We left the house at 4:00 am and arrived at the venue by 6:15am, just in time for the balloon flying.

Watching the balloons fly as the sun started to rise seems surreal, complete with a live band singing energetic songs, people everywhere looking up and smiling, the moment was just too beautiful.

Baguio: The City of Pines (Part 2)

This was our second (and my favorite day) in Baguio maybe because I finally had some sleep and was used to the cold weather already. If you haven't read the part one yet, you can check that out here. We ended our day 1 with a hearty meal at Pizza Hut because we were so hungry! Then we got back at our hotel by 9 pm and everyone slept already but I just had to update my instagram first before rest (hahaha).

DAY 2: MORNING

CAMP JOHN HAY
We followed an Eco trail here for like 45 minutes but there was no exit on the other side so we had to go back again from where we started, fortunately the trees were so pretty and the air's clean not like in Manila- I didn't mind the loooong walk again.

Baguio: The City of Pines (Part 1)

December is the city's peak season because of the really nice and cold weather. Tourists flock around the famous landmarks, restaurants and parks all over the city. Since my parents were on their holiday break, we also decided to go to Baguio too and see for ourselves what this city can offer.

I did the itinerary myself with the help of various blogs and websites. And since I can't describe how beautiful the city is, here are the photos from our trip:
