sayang di ako makapunta :(
ReplyDeleteAlthough sinabi ko last year na hindi nako babalik sa event na to.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I missed it.
Ijust had a bad experience last year, that's all.
But I think there is a reason why a lot of people flock on to this event
Oh my, why this event is very elusive to me? I wanted to attend this event very bad but unfortunate events keep coming my way.
ReplyDeleteLast year did not see a lot of hot air balloons because we are late, hehehe, but this year we will make sure we're one of the first people in the area. :)
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to attend last year's hot air balloon festival. But had to back-out the last minute since I was booked a project. I'm hoping that I get the chance to drop-by, at least this Feb. :)
ReplyDeleteLove to see air balloons in person, sad thing it is too far away, good thing there is a schedule
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the schedule. Bucketlist ko toh, hope to be here this year... argh!
ReplyDeletei miss coming here ... when i was in Luzon , I was able to attend this ... but after that ..wala na ! hope i can see once more the giant balloons ..
ReplyDeleteI might try this one this year if my schedule permits. Clark is also an excellent place to train.
ReplyDeleteI love hot air balloons! We have it here in Gallup and in ABQ, NM (international balloon fest) annually.. but nothing beats that schedule! It's really more fun in the Philippines!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to this yearly event. Somehow, the best laid plans go awry. I'll try this year.
ReplyDeletethanks for the complete info, we are planning to go there with my friends :)
ReplyDeleteFinally going here, Jeffrey! Trying on the 23rd.. hope to see you! :)
ReplyDeletehi! someone said na hanggang sa saturday na lang daw ang flights ng mga balloons? wala na sa sunday?
ReplyDeletecan you verify this? the phone numbers listed are kinda useless.
thanks!
