Philippines International Pyromusical Competition

This weekend, Alan took Tyler and I for a treat to see the PIPC at Manila Bay. Others warned us about the crazy crowd that will be there. We decided that we can take it but for precaution, we decided to leave Cody at home with our yaya.

Anyways, the crowd was indeed CRAZY!! But luckily we got the more expensive seats, so we were spared from the mob! As we waited for the fireworks to start, Tyler was very much entertained by some lion and dragon dance as well as the fire dancers!!

This weekend, the competitors were China and France. China went first. It was phenomenal!! I love fireworks, so for me, it was just soooooo beautiful!! Even Tyler was cheering and shouting. And then it was France's turn. Maybe because we were so blown away by the first performance, we found that the french fireworks lacked of oomph.. and was a little too clinical. Too much symmetry even for me!!! But it was great nonetheless!!

Now, it's really going to be really hard for me to be impressed with just any July 4th fireworks show!!

Before the start of the show


Photos from our crappy camera can never do fireworks justice!!
