we went to clark air base over the weekend to get a looksie of the hot air balloons and also do some partying on the side. we decided to drive friday night and squeeze into raf's house in pampanga. the drive was surprisingly easy - not a whole lot of traffic going to the shell station at the north luzon expressway. jowell drove ate mel's car while raf & myself drove our cars. there were 10 of us : iam, jason, dj, van, jowell, ali, me, mel, trixy and raf. ice & ria couldn't make it cause my godson jakob was still under the weather.friday night was pretty tiring. jowell, van, ali & trixy were unusually in high spirits. partly maybe because of the caffeine they had at starbucks after dinner. me, because of the revicon i-on trixy gave me and the venti-sized cafe mocha i had back at the medical city. short to say, we didn't get a chance to get a really good night sleep cause we were tossing and turning and laughing hard that night. if laughter could kill, i think we would have already been dead by now. van accidentally locked the bathroom door which raf didn't really have a key to so i had to show them my ala-alias abilities using an expired plastic card.
fast forward to saturday morning where we woke up pretty early to get to the balloon launch site. it was pretty early and the weather was bitingly cold. we patiently waited for the hot air balloons while we started to take amazing pictures of the slowly brightening sky. the balloon launch was not really disappointing, it was actually pretty cool watching them inflate them and see them soaring in the sky. there were a lot of people and they were all busy shooting pictures as the balloons rose to the sky one or two at a time.
we decided to wear out intel "leap ahead" shirts to this event because we wanted to take some leap ahead action sequences for our video. here, we managed to explore the continuous shooting mode of our cameras. mahusay. we decided to ride the octopus and g-force amusement rides and honestly, i thought i was back in high school again.
the place where we stayed "villa alfredo" was quite nice. there were a also some folks checked in but it wasn't really packed. everyone loved the karaoke machine - leave it to jowell, dj, van and trixy to hug the mike. me, i'm not much of a karaoke singer. i only sing for myself - its just not my thing. i love to listen to them though. we did the tequila and the beer that night but i retired to bed early because i wasn't able to catch a lot of zzzzz's from friday to saturday afternoon. i was feeling dizzy around 11 to 1130ish so there was no point in trying to stay up.
sunday morning was quite nice. we left the resort before noon and had some belly-filling lunch at jollibee. we dropped by this private residential community "the lakeshore" where we took some really nice pics with the man-made lake, lighthouse and with the nice foliage as background. i think we had like 300+ pictures all in all for this trip. that's not even counting the hours of videos we took.
i hope everyone had fun that weekend. if they didn't, well i can't help them with that. basta ako, i plan to make this summer a really happy one.
