Ever since Jem started his 3rd year as a med student, I've been teasing him about the things he'll start to miss out. Because he'll be needing to spend more time doing rounds in hospitals and that it will be harder from here, I told him he'll begin to miss out some birthdays, family outings and celebrations, dates, and whatnot. Add to the fact that I too am planning something big for my future, this reality check had started a mindset that we must travel and spend as much time as possible together.
Because of this, whenever we see stuff on the internet that says "must-visit", "must-see", "must-go" places in the Philippines (near Metro Manila), we try our hardest to check it out for ourselves.
Recently, the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival had been buzzing around the internet and all sorts of media publication. And when my mom said that that festival was something worth checking out, we planned our DIY Trip to Clark, Pampanga.
