One Memorable Balloon

It was a Saturday morning when I found

myself driving through SCTEX heading to the

Hot Air Balloon Festival with two of my

travel addict officemates.

I was super excited for that year's festival

because of the entrance pass we have so we can

shoot inside the area where they prepare and fix the balloons.

This was also a memorable photo because it was my first

photo contest entry and it's for DPP.

I remember feeling awkward as I saw other people's entry.

But with a push from my friends I did gave 2 photos for the contest.

And then weeks passed and I almost forgot about this contest.

I received a text from DPP and Caltex saying that I was

qualified and inviting me for the awarding ceremony one

uneventful work day afternoon.

I didn't won the contest but seeing my photo alongside

the best photos of that year's festival was one hell

of an experience. Felt really good.
