14th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

I have always wanted to go to the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta but I never found the time nor enough people who wanted to go there as well. The HABF falls on Valentine's Day weekend, making it harder to convince people to go.

But since we were all dateless on Valentines, we decided to go on a road trip to no less than Subic!

We left the office at 9pm and were on our way to Subic.

Checked in at Holiday Inn at around 1AM the next day.

We had to wake up early to catch the Fiesta.

Up, up and away!

This elephant is unique compared to the other balloons

Since we woke up early, Prana took a nap in between.

Mini-balloons - CUTE!

Which is nicer? The Goyard bag or the dog's shoes?

Colorful jeepneys, distinctly Filipino

Til the next!

But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
