Hahaha, I am not sure if you could still remember my blog post about going to the Hot Air Balloon Festival at Clark Air Field in Pampanga last year (link) - that I seriously wanted to be there but I could not join my fellow club members at MDPC (Marikina Digital Photographers Club) anymore since they went there on a Sunday, instead of Saturday as per original schedule.

And this 2012, sumakto na naman ang schedule ng hot air balloon festival sa araw ng birthday ko!
Just this afternoon, my friend Aiee asked me if I’m
interested to go. I almost forgot about it, she gave me an ad via Sulit regarding
tour packages. I am excited! Kahit di ako sigurado kung pwede ako kasi it’s our
church’s anniversary month on February and we’ll be so busy on all weekends.
Hmm... Abangan na lang ang susunod na kabanata! Basta, I dream to take pictures of these big hot air balloons!
Anyway, here’s some interesting photos of hot air balloons
via Etsy and the 2012 Event Calendar for the 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF).
