Adventure on Valentine's Day!

How do you celebrate your Valentine's Day this year? Romantic dinner date with candle lights? or Watching movie with popcorn and drinks? Ian and I try different kinds of celebrating Heart's Day!
We are both excited to celebrate again the Valentine's Day together. I remember the first Valentine's we celebrated was way back 2007. Since Valentine's fall on weekday that time, we celebrate it with a simple dinner at Aristocrat MOA and have some picture taking of course.
I also remember when we joined the Close Up Lavapalooza last February 10, 2007 at MOA open ground. It is an event where the Philippines will try to win back the world record of the most number of couples kissing together. Here is our official couple's number and some kilig moments during the said event.

On the year 2008, we celebrated our Valentine's Day in simple but memorable. We dined at The Red Crab, Greenbelt 3 with a pianist that will play your requested song. It's so romantic I swear!

On the year 2009, we did not celebrate it together since he stay in Japan from September 2008 -March 2009. So sad...

This year, we both decided to celebrate our Valentine's Day in a little bit exciting. Our friends planned to have an out of town trip last February 13 - 14, 2010. Our destination was to watch Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Pampanga then straight ahead to Zambales for our Anawangin - Capones Trip. We are both excited since this was our first time to celebrate the special day out of town and also our first time to visit Anawangin which I think the popular place for Landscape photography. A week before the said event, Ian and I busy doing shopping spree for the foods that we will bring on our trip. In our list are the following: Junk foods, Biscuits, Candies and Water. The day has come, the day that we are all waiting for, February 13, 2010.

Day 1: Hot Air Balloon Festival at Clark Pampanga

Then after a glimpse and picture taking of flying balloon, we then headed at Jollibee Clark to have our breakfast.

Then, we travel for about 1.5 hours to reach the city of Zambales.

Check in at Wild Rose Beach Inn then straight ahead to Anawangin to have our lunch and start our adventure.

2nd Day: Happy Valentine's Day (Capones Island)

We wake up early to have our 2nd adventure. Breakfast served around 7:30am, then we all set and ready on board by 8:20am. We reached the Capones Island around 9:00am and start our photowalk and hiking to reach the famous light house. I think we consume 30 minutes just to arrive at the light house. But when reach the peak, all you stress, worries, problems and even the pain in your heart will sweep away.

all girls.. ooppss.. sorry grape andyan ka pala.. hehe

before our trek..
