Spain's Brunchu Fireworks Experience

If you wish to save, you can just stay anywhere near the SM Mall of Asia and view the sky!

If you wish to find a seat, there are seats costing P300.00 and P500.00 and the special seats with dinner costing P1500.00.

But, if you would have dinner anyway, I would suggest the best view would be from the second floor, along Abe's Restaurant to Watami Japanese Restaurant where you get the panoramic view of the Pyromusical event including view of the ship which would not be visible in the lower floors.

The dinner would still cost about P1300.00 to 1500.00 per person consummable.

It is a very enjoyable experience especially if you are with special people to share it with!!!

CHRISTMAS TREES IN SM MOA AND NORTHEDSA 2012

Since I am into Christmas trees now, I would also like to share about the SM MOA and SM North EDSA Christmas trees that I saw!

SM Mall of Asia.
Just outside SM Mall of Asia...

As we enter SM Mall of Asia...

SM Mall of Asia's theme is Christmas Toy Wonder World!

 

Other Christmas Trees in the Department Store...

SM North EDSA.
I saw the Mickey and Minnie Mouse Tree! Didn't see Hello Kitty there, though...

It is a Mickey-Minnie mouse tree !!!

Donald and Daisy were there for the picture zone beside the tree...

They also had Christmas Trees in the Department Store...

The Peppermint read, green and white tree!

 And on the other side...

And don't forget the Nativity Scene. Saw this in the Department store but didn't see displays of this, though!

Haven't seen the Christmas trees around Zamboanga City yet!

THIRD PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL COMPETITION: SPAIN FEB 2012

Here I am again with Fireworks. Even if I have photographed  Disney Florida, I still enjoy taking pictures of Fireworks! 

I really added a day just because I knew that I wanted to watch the THIRD PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL COMPETITION at the Seaside Boulevard of the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) last February 18, 2012 highlighting United Kingdom and Spain.

This is a tie-up of the Amusement Park with the Pyromusical competition.

I seemed a bit obsessed that afternoon just because I really wanted to find a good position where I would place my DSLR  camera complete with tripod!


I found it in Gumbo Restaurant!


The UK show started at about 7:40 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. while the Spain show began at 8:30 p.m. instead of 8:00 p.m.


This time, here is SPAIN's time to shine!
By the way, I don't take extra time to edit my shots... in fact, I already forgot how to use Adobe Photoshoppe! 
So these are SPAIN's fireworks as I saw them!!!

What caught our attention with the Spain performance was the beautiful music which sounded Spanish also! The other musical accompaniment were also familiar.


It was more difficult to take pictures of the Spanish show because it had lots of parts which were less massive and also with separation between lights which were more difficult to focus.
There were also more white and yellow lights compared to the UK show.

This is what I mean is less massive with plenty fine light particles
which is difficult to photograph

I like this!

After Spain's show, we were really so happy and satisfied because I felt the romance and the flimsy, flittering Spanish character in the music and dancing light performance.

This is what i also mean by less massive 

However, comparing pictures of the Spain and UK's shows, it seems my UK photos are more exciting and strong!

I guess, I still have to find out who won in this THIRD PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL COMPETITION.


For myself, I was just happy to be there among the "millions" of spectators, to take photos of the Fireworks and of course, to blog this!


It is amazing just being there ...especially, for us who are not from the Metropolis!!!
