Month: December 2005

This firework scene makes it all worth it to see this hanging lanterns in the sky that lasts for 45 seconds (which is the longest fireworks we have seen!). Imagine the entire night sky, filled will all these dropping colorful balls of light for 45 seconds of pure fireworks bliss! … This is enough to erase the memories of enduring the stand-still traffic that lasted until 2am in the morning, listening to criticism that the Philippines show was just standard for most part compared to the other 9 countries, and watching in agony as some of the fireworks exploded in water.

By the way, just for the record there were only 9 countries competing excluding Philippines since it is home territory and for sure we won’t match the sheer money that Australia and US can muster to have a jaw dropping fireworks.
…What’s so great about it is that its spacious and we were able to secure a spot directly in the break water edge to take the awesome shots of UAE and the La Mancha’s Fellowship of Fire. For P100 entrance fee, you get to watch four (4) awesome bands for the Finale night (Menaya, Tropical Depression, Itchyworms, Kapatid) This is one of the hassles of using portable toilets whether you are rich or poor, you have to use the portalets.

Glorious Heaven My brother and I was able to get a nice spot in the special viewing area where you pay P250 for dinner, comfortable space and directly in front of the barge! Here are the awesome pictures of UAE 🙂

A Date with Fireworks Day 4 of the World Pyro and I’m enjoying every moment of it along with all the other Filipinos who love world class entertainment. … It was oohs and aahs throughout and I’m glad I made it to the show considering I came from a Viaje del Sol tour the whole morning. Here are some more scenes of families enjoying the fireworks show to give you a feel of the ambiance and environment in Diosdado Macapagal viewpoint.

Not a lot of people know Seaside Macapagal Blvd and they mistake this for Baclaran Seaside and got turn off when you say lets meet in Seaside. … Fireworks starts at 7.30-8.00 and 9.00-9.30pm so expect heavy traffic during this time because cars would literally be stopping at macapagal blvd. … At night, the fish is not fresh anymore so if you don’t know leave it to the restaurant to buy it for you.

We were in Diosdado Macapagal and endured the traffic as we saw motorists fighting to get into blue wave with the heavy rains. … Unfortunately, that was the sad story for Germany where its starting to get a lot better than the Australia show with a fountain formation in the beginning. … The oohhs and the aahhs where replaced by aaayyy, (sayang) with a firm resolute to watch it for the last 3 days… sigh 🙁 Bring Rain gear if you are going: Jacket, Umbrella, protective cover for camera..

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Only here in the Philippines and it would be sad if you miss even just one of these 5 day World Pyro Olympics event in the Esplanade (formerly Promenade), in the Bay City Central Business Park, Pasay City . … Literally you would hear aahhs, and oohhs, in the crowd and at first I was not doing it, but the Australia show was so spectacular that the oohhs and aahhs just comes out of your mouth.
…We all enjoyed, but it is a plus if you are a photographer because, the thrill of capturing that perfect fireworks photo is enough for you to payout your P100 entrance fee.
