Enchanted Kingdom, 5/9/09
First, I am sorry I didn`t write about the bloggers' event I and my Dad attended in Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna last Sunday. I was busy! And the story of this 'I am busy' excuse is here.

I and Dad arrived at the meeting place at 10 am. He went here and chatted with some bloggers there. He checked the time - 10:30 am. So apparently, I was standing beside him, tagging along - completely silent - for thirty minutes. I wondered if it could have been different if Rofly was with us or if I was listening to Fall Out Boy or if I was fiddling with something. Or if I myself have been chatting with some people.

After a few moments, a lady called our attentions and told something about... well, I didn`t know, really. Everyone settled themselves in the buses (as my dad told me) after that anyway.

So when we arrived at EK (as they call it. Very nice, huh?), we first watched this short movie in 4D.
We wore this glasses you wear when you watch 3D movies. It seemed real. I even tried to avoid the piranha I thought was going right to my face :)). When the wind hit hard in the movie, I felt wind beneath my feet. If they were sliding on a rocky surface, you might feel as though you're sitting on a chair being dribbled like a ball.

Note: They will tell you to keep your gadgets. Do keep your gadgets. Believe me. && I will not tell you what`s with it.

We had lunch after that. They announced that the pretty hankies they gave us were to indicate which group we will belong for this contest they call Magicalympics. I realized later on that I`m lucky I & Dad are both in the same team.

The first challenge - bump cars - went okay. Actually, I thought I would have bruises because our car often bumped pretty hard into the other cars. But it was fine. We were to get the flags at the end of the field with blockers starting from the second round.

I was bewildered when I saw the Ferris wheel we were to ride next. I & Dad were forced to ride here, of course. But it turned out that it wasn`t as scary as I thought. We were given a sheet of paper to answer while riding. I think that was funny.

Then the Flying Fiesta ride. It was kind of crazy because teams gotta solve a puzzle, dizzy, after riding this ride. I, of course, would not ride in here if I had a choice, but, it turned out to be fun.

Then came the time when we were to ride in the Jungle Jog Jam.
Well, I, didn`t know that we would be falling from such height.
Another funny thing is that, we wore this head band with a glued plastic cup on it. They filled it with water and Dad didn`t know if he should hold on the bead band or on the railings :)).

There were ten challenges in all. I`m relieved we didn`t have to ride the Space Shuttle `cause it`s closed. Dad described it as insane :)).

And then we were the fourth place. So we took a picture with princess Victoria and the wizard. Gosh, princess Victoria was so pretty! There were also guys in princely clothes. And oh my gosh, they indeed, looked this princes!

We took pictures of here and there during the free time. Then we ate Hot Shot burgers for dinner and watched half of the musical. They reminded me of HSM - the performers.



Dad got bored and I bought a bag of candies. And finally watched the fire works - which I didn`t get a picture of, damn.

It was very pretty. And even though you could smell the smoke, all you'd do is gaze at the sky.
