Tips for Travelers
1. Go to Five Star terminal since they have even have 1am travel from Manila going to Dau.
Schedule of Five Star Bus
Schedule of Victory Liner @EDSA Cubao and Pasay
Philtranco
Philippine Rabbit 530am 30mins waiting time @Rizal Avenue cor. recto
Bus Megamall A - near Toy Kingdom 7am-730pm
2. Don't bring too much foods/chips or else you will have a hardtime bringing it to everywhere you go. Foods are available there at an affordable price.
3. Bring 2 shirts, we got lucky it was not that sunny, neverthless we are human being and located near equator so expect to sweat
4. Going in the venue, it is much easier to just buy the ticket on the event and enter the SHORTER LINE. I wonder why people go to the longer line? (Now I wonder I almost did that too!)
5. Bottled water is 25 pesos there no need to bring water.
6. Bring picnic table cloth/banig/sarong/ for you to have a resting place. You wouldn't want to stay in a tent the rest of the day. Experience the event. Don't stay in food stalls. Believe me lying in the sarong and seeing the kites and clouds and Mt. Arayat is a great experience.
7. Watch all the event, some title of event is boring but it's really nice
8. It is better to go on Saturday or Sunday since there are more events.
9. bring binoculars, I forgot to bring one.
10. If you are going to travel by Public Utility Vehicle after the event is done, RUNNNNNNNNNNNNN so you can ride jeepney back to terminal. Or else you need to walk a long way to terminal/or you'll be lucky to find a trike. If ever you have a lot of friends with you and you found one trike, you can ask the trike to contact the other trike drivers to fetch your other friends, and lastly have FUN ^____________^
If you don't want to bring a vehicle and don't want to walk you can buy a tour from an Agency but do note that they leave Manila at 7am so you will missed the 530am event. For the agency please visit this site

...Balloon, a toy that we as a kid love it. A birthday or going to park wouldn't be complete without it.
I'm a big guy now so I wan't a hot air balloon! Nahhhh it's expensive and where would I keep it? so the only thing I could do is well :D tadahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! go to the 17th Philippines International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta which will be held in Clark Pampanga.
Summary:Another memorable super duper great time with my mountaineer family (Storm Chasers) ^_^ + 1 classmate from Mapua Marco + Shan!
It is mine and lifelong friends dream of going to this event 4 years ago. Every year it's just ALL plans....plans... but we always ended up going to somewhere else hehe :p. I said to myself one day...one day....Then finally, Bry one of the Storm Chasers posted that there there will be a balloon festival this February 9 to 12 2012. I asked my best friends at first they said yes but Anne is sick, the other 1 has just been married, the other 2 in in province, the other on in Korea, and the other one @Mico well tinamad na hehe? In the end I'm glad that Storm Chasers will really go ^_^
A big wohooooooooooo! BUT BUT BUT! whoops at the day we will buy the tickets WHOOOPS no more tickets! WHOA!!! but after a day it's being sold again by ticket net. + I saw Marco's status that he want to go so there you go +2 adventurers wohoooooo!
Then the day finally arrive! we need to leave 2 am from Manila to Clark so we can be there by 330 and be early...WHOOPS !
I'm in the Five star terminal at about 130am. Marco and Shan arrived around 2am. Kevin's camera had a problem so he was late... I went to the first bus and reserve 5more seats HAHAHA. Well until I just went down cause we are not yet complete. It's fine at least I can have some penoy again after 13years.
We arrived in the event around 530 BUT whoops ticket is still with the people who climb Mt. Arayat.
Finally we decided to just buy another ticket and let the other just sell the tickets again.
FINALLY we got in WOHOOO lets the balloon fun begins!
So here are the fun things you can do to the event:
*** Hot air Balloons*** (you can see strange shaped hot air balloons, a cake, car, panda, I think 2011 had better lineup) but todays weather might not permit it. Other balloons actaually wasn't been able to fly at all.
***Kite****We we're able to fly a kite!
You could try buying kites ahead of time so you can have a better kite for a better price, you can try Divisoria for that.
There's also a kite exhibition :D
***Marine Helicopters/airplanes and war vehicles***
you can even ride some of the war vehicles and get some photo. They even have soldiers inside :D

Food tripppppppp - penoy,shawarma, snow ice, scramble, hongkong noodles, chicharap

NOTE: Trekkeras are so hardcore they climbed Mt. Arayat and went to Balloon Festival WHOAAAAAAA!
Even going home is FUN! nag Pinoy henyo game before going home UNTIL :( someone stole my phone :( BUT it was still fun ^________^ it's just a phone I can buy again next time. BUT the fun memories :D can't be bought by money.
