We just had a recent road trip in the northern part of Luzon. I love taking pictures while in the car. Something different to look at especially when you live in a city for almost all of your life. I was just so lucky that even my aunt would drive as fast as 100-140km/h there were still a lot of decent pictures in my camera phone.
We started our trip in Cubao and been planning on where to go first. Shall we go to the farthest which is tarlac or enjoy the nearer city of San Fernando.
While in NLEX, the road is narrower than in SLEX so there are a lot of cars on the highway. Still no great view to take a picture with. Been playing with my aunt's camera and my phone to check which can take a better picture with. :-) Here is one picture using her camera.
We met her boyfriend first at SM and also to shop for some items. We spent another hour going to Floridablanca to take some pictures inside the BASA Airbase. We saw a lot of old planes that our country used. Most of it are no longer working. Was even more disappointed after knowing that if ever that we encounter a war, we don't have enough planes to defend the country. tsk tsk...
It's just sad also that the security in that area was too tight also. Can't take much pictures or post it online. But all i can say about the Air Base is that the scenery is beautiful. you could clearly see the sky. You would even appreciate the nature with the beautiful mountains surrounding it. If I could only catch watching the sunset from there maybe I can get a really good picture.
Next Trip was going to Clark for target shooting. it was more than an hour drive but I really like the view in SCTEX. So many nice sceneries. What made it better is at that time of the day, the sun rays gives dramatic effect to the mountains. I also like the part of the highway wherein you will pass a mountain which was aplit in two. And again its another picture perfect moment.
As we arrived in Clark the place was somehow peaceful. Maybe it helped that it was a former military base and not so many people lived there. We reached the target range and proud to say that it was easy for me to learn how to use the gun. :-) first shot, Headshot!!!(BEWARE!) then the next shots were bull's eye. I'm already trigger happy but this made me happier. :-p. It seems like 50 bullets were not enough for me and for my aunt. We should have gone to 100 (each) \m/. I really hoping that we can do it again(minus the travel time).
As we travel back to Pampanga, we made a stop over at convenience store to buy some liquors. Its just so sad that we got lost on our way back. The designated driver not aware that we already passed the elevated U-turn slot. That situation had added 1 or 2 more hours in the travel time. We were already hungry. I was dissappointed that he didnt want to stop over to the nearest restaurants because they were not serving filipino foods. In Clark, most of the restaurants there are serving Japanese and Korean food. We are almost near floridablanca when we had reached the nearest Jollibee. Seems like you won't be able to talk to anyone of us at that time because we are all tired and hungry. Somehow that had been an interview session for Jepoy and Ate Cel.
Around 10pm we finally reached Jepoy's house and this is where we will have our sleepover. Had a little drink first. We are already planning the next activity. About to go to sleep but we experienced a problem. BLACKOUT! It's really hard to sleep when you are not at your own home but it's harder most especially if its hot. It came back after 15 minutes. Took a few hours sleep and I was so excited to start the day because I'm looking forward for our next destination, Isdaan Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac. I wish I'll have time to post the pictures soon.
See you on my next trip!
