17th Hot Air Balloon Festival

Mas madame pang Hot Air Balloon sa template ng pictures ko 

Sayang... hnd ako nakasakay sa dilaw na bulaklak..

aliens!

sabe ko na eh! makakabili din aq ng sarili kong hot air balloon!

Happy Birthday!

At dahil hnd kme nakasakay sa Hot Air Balloon... Wall climbing na lang!

Lost ang mga tao ng Pampanga... we asked how to go to Clark and each one gave a different direction... yun... 7am na kme nakarating and ma-traffic na.

I expected a lot of Hot Air Balloons because it was aFestival but I was disappointed to see juts a few... mas madame pang tao at kites kesa sa Balloons. Sana gnwa n lng nilang Kite Festival hehhehe.

Aside from watching the children from flying there kites, we had explored the area. Wall Climbing is a must because that's the most exciting (?) na andun. There was also the "Close up Challenge where they ask you to brush your teeth. After, they'll ask you to sit on a chair (Pinoy Henyo type) and blast you on your face while you're smiling thinking they just want a photo of you!

Sagada

The Bomod-ok Falls

To get to the Big Falls, one must hire a guide from the Tourism Desk at the Town Hall care of the Sagada Environmental Guides Association (SEGA) or the office of the newly-established Sagada Genuine Guides Association (SAGGAS). For the former, the charge for a group of 10 people or less is a pretty affordable rate of 600 pesos (~15 USD). 

We made a friend in the process. A Chinese guy named Sam from Hong Kong. This trip was just after 8 Hong Kong Tourists were killed in Manila. I asked him if he was afraid. He looked at me for a while and said no. Weh? =D

What am I doing? Pretending to be Samson?

My Pearly White "I conquered Sagada" Shirt became dirty white after my tour @Sumaguing Cave. Wrong choice of shirt.

The water was so cold that we couldn't take a swim. What a shame. 

the piled coffins of Lumiang Cave. Even the nails are made from wood. There are some opened coffins but errr I don't think you should look at them.

You can text John Justo @ 09053288492 as a tour guide. Very nice and patient. He's also a nursing student that time so he could help you in times of emergency. =D *knock on wood*
