paperdoll's closet: Enchanted KingdoM! ~the magic stays with YOU!

DAY 8
+after graduation.

(++click the pics for bigger version++)

The first time I knew we’ll be going to Enchanted Kingdom, I’m not even excited about it. I wanted to go to Mall of Asia rather than an expensive incident in EK. But, for the cost of being with my friends and I know would be fun, I agreed to the idea they proposed.

Months passed and I was informed that Yna’s group will be joining us, and that made me excited about the event. We’re two cliques combining as one; surely, it would be fun.

We conducted a lot of plans, a lot of after gimmicks and all the expenses. But, after months and moths of planning, one by one, the group deteriorated. The thirteen who would come to the park was down into Xai, Gem, Jers and Me.

When we arrived in SM Santa Rosa for EK only opens at 2pm, I thought, initially, we won’t have a good time. First, we were so bored killing almost four hours in the mall. We surf the net for a 40/hour rate only to kill boredom. Ang mahal!

Arriving in the EK isn’t easy; we encountered riding in the same vehicle with a crazy woman. She’s so scary and as we go down, she would hold us and shout, “Posasan!”

When we finally arrived, we piled up in a line and I was the one who bought the tickets. We used a “suki card” in mercury drug store to have a one free. Then after, we went in and Jers told us that there was a group of girls trying to discriminate us. She said “Look at her shoes, mine is 50 dollars.” Hell. Even her shoes cost that much, her personality don’t even be charged as a single centavo.

When we went inside, we just sat there and I felt that we won’t have fun. Not with the burning sun that makes my skin dull and itchy.

The first thing we tried is the flying fiesta. It may look like very easy, but it wasn’t. It made me dizzy and wanted to puke. And it was like you’ll be thrown out of the circle while you’re hanging there.

^magaling ka pag nahanap mo kme!:p
pero, nandyan tlga kme!:p

Because the sun is so extreme we decided to try watching the 4D first so that we won’t have any hard time outside. The title of the 4D is “Pirates”. It’s really made us laugh because the chairs are moving, you could be wet and it’s so realistic that as if you’re really there. When we went out, I told them, “Tara! Uwi na tayo!” joking. Then there was this guy who said, “Ed, umuwi keo!” then we looked at him. Funny, kc, akala niya, I was one of him company. And they all laugh as they realized na nagkamali xa. HAHA!

^nice shades we got there!HAHA!

We tried the “Up, up and away” and this time, Xai rode with us. It’s not thrilling. It’s so safe, and so boring. HA-ha. The next ride is the rollercoaster, I told them that it was so slow but when we’re already there, my gosh! I’m screaming at top of my voice, I thought, I would fall of the chair any moment.

^up, up, and away!HAHA!nah!not yet up yan.

^rollercaster!Me and GEM!

Jers said, Anchor’s Away is good and I felt it was, because we would be together in one chair. But, when it starts to move, I felt like shacking while going down. It was so scary! It was like my liver would be going out of my system. I was shouting and hoping everything would end especially when Xai starts to cry.

^ anchor's away! HUHU! no...

Because of that, I became so dizzy. I wanted to puke. I wanted to go home and rest. It was trauma for us. So, what we did is, we ate pizza first. Ha-ha! Yummy. It was so big, and so delicious!

^pizza!pizza!pizza!

^jers grabbing some pizza!

After that, we don’t want to ride hush rides anymore so we tried the bump cars that was really enjoying and the relaxing Carousel. And to kill the bad feeling inside, we did our therapy—picture taking. Ha-Ha. We fooled in front of the camera all over the place and even at the souvenir stalls and the arcade area.

^ i want to bring this HOME!HEHE!

^yey!we're in carousel!

After longer period of waiting, we finally rode the “swan”. I thought it will be very relaxing, but it makes my legs ache for moving it over the water. But, it was fun.

^swan lake

Beside that Swan Lake is the Wheel of Fate. We rode in. And the slower it goes up, the more it scares us. It was so high. We could see everything and when we’re about three minutes at the top, we saw a huge fire. It was so near. And it was so big. But when it starts to spin around, it made us smile. It was great.

^ a snap shot at the top of the wheel of fate. yebah!

We went back to the bump car and do it over and over again! It was the most fun, I wanted to bring it home!HEHE! And also, we rode the carousel again.. The most thrilling ride..ever!HAHA!

There was a big problem that we realized. When we sat down in one bench, we looked for it al over our bags, but it was lost. My slippers are lost!

Okay. I was wearing slippers on the way to EK. Xai brought 3 doll shoes, so each of us had one. Then, she gets tired of her hills, so, she wore my slippers and in the other circumstance, she put back the doll shoes. She didn’t realized, she left the slippers somewhere.

Can you imagine that? What could possibly other people think? I left my slippers and I walked bare-foot?

We all separated way and looked for it. In the end of the quest for it, we saw each other again in a place and I thought it was already gone. Xai surprised me, she has it! It was in the “Lost and Found” stall. And she needs to speak in English to be entertained well. HAHA!

It was already nine. And the rides are down to two—the “jangjamjang” HAHA! I don’t know what it, but jers pronounced it that way. And the Rio garnde.

Since, the rio grande is always full, we went to jangjamjang. It was so exciting. We got wet and felt like out stomach was left behind every time, we run down in a cliff. After, we saw our pic, I looked so devastated, but, we bought it anyway.

The Rio Grande is the best! It was like you’re in a stream and you‘ll just go with the flow of the water. But, before riding, the Santa Rosa candidates for the pageant really annoy us! Ang yayabang. The girls aren’t that pretty but boasting in our faces, because we’re sandwich in the line. The guys are Feeling pogi. The other one, bugs gem for her number. But though, the ride we lined about was very exciting. I was the one really wet!HAHA!

We plan to do it again, but Jers’ parents are there in the exit to fetch us. Unluckily, we have to go.

That time, I realized that it doesn’t matter if you’re scared of getting in the rides or you’re too strong to face the challenge, as long as you’re with the people you love, you’ll still be enjoying what’s in front of you. It doesn’t even matter where you are or how may people criticize. As Xai told me,

it’s the quality of who you’re with, not the quantity.
