World Pyro Olympics

Two weeks ago, Karen and I went to the World Pyro Olypics at the Esplanade near the SM Mall of Asia. Selle, Barry and I already planned on going to this event almost 6 months before this and I have to say that all the pain and suffering Karen and I went through was worth it! We were able to see the fireworks displays of the USA, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, China and the exibition fireworks by the Philippines. Although, we were only able to enjoy the displays two weekends ago because the China and Philippines fireworks display was overshadowed by the people who wanted to watch them. We were able to watch the show at the Lvl6 parking lot of MOA. It was a good vantage point for taking photos but the experience we had on the last day of the competition was totally horrible. We left the house an hour earlier than we did, which was 4 hours before the start of the show. Much to our dismay, we encountered the worst traffic going to MOA not to mention the rude (JOLOGS!!!)people who made the parking lot a picnic area and literally camped there probably the day before the show. They laid there behind their parked cars and occupied a lot of space which could already be used by 10 people to see the fireworks. Karen was also not feeling so good last Saturday so I did not argue with them (JOLOGS!!!) anymore and just gave up on taking pictures. Had it not for the other plans we had for that day, I would have already left MOA and watched the fireworks somewhere else rather than be with those (JOLOGS!!!) people. I'm sorry but calling them JOLOGS is an insult for the real jologs because the people who were at the parking lot last Saturday that day were far worse! Can you feel the how pissed off I was??? Aaarrrggghhh!!!


Tropang Tupe (missing Barry and Kathy

Anyway, enough of the negativity... After the fireworks display and what felt like days waiting to leave the parking lot of MOA, Tropang Tupperware namely, Barry, Kathy, Resty, Selle, Allan, CJ, Karen and I went to Tagaytay. I brought then near the communications tower. I was surprised when we got there because there were a lot of people at that time which was about 3AM in the morning. We just talked there while we were almost freezing because of the cold strong winds. Here are some of the photos we had when we were there.




ANG SAYA-SAYA

After the photoshoot, we headed to Leslie's for a much awaited breakfast of Bulalo! A classic Tropang Tupperware way to end a get together... LOTS OF FAT FOOD!Ü
