What A Day!
I'm feeling better today but I felt really sick yesterday. But I'm not gonna whine about that! I've got something much better to blog. Thanks to Carlson and Aimee for the pics. Our team went to Tagaytay and Enchanted Kingdom last Saturday and it was a blast! I haven't had this much fun since graduating from college. Aside from enjoying the trip and the rides, I learned a lot about my team mates and I just love them. I should have joined this company the moment I stepped out of the stage during our graduation. Haha!
We left Makati at around 10:30 a.m. When we were in SLEX, in the Alabang area, it started to drizzle. Vince asked Liezl and Imee what plan B is, just in case the it rains. They said there isn't a plan B. Haha! When we reached Laguna, the drizzle evolved into a strong downpour. Oh no! But we didn't lose hope, we're going to Tagaytay for lunch first anyway. The rain might be gone by the time we go to Enchanted Kingdom.
At Tagaytay, we ate at Leslie's. Here are some pictures.
After lunch at Leslie's we headed to Enchanted Kingdom. At the parking lot, Carlson immediately took off. I thought he saw Vince's car drive out of the parking lot so I didn't say anything. After a while, Marc asked Carlson where Vince is and Carlson answered that he totally forgot that we had company. Haha! Anyways, the rendevouz happened a short while later.
The first ride we tried at EK is the flying fiesta. It was my second time, it was cool. Windy.
Then we went to Rialto. Boring. When Jerome and the others who didn't go to Tagaytay with us arrived, we rode the bump cars. Jamie hit me really hard and my bump car rocked so wild I thought I was gonna get body pains afterwards. And later she confessed that she didn't even notice. Everyone else did, girl! Hehe!
Then we tried the 4D thing. I loved it! The part where someone was beheaded and blood splattered everywhere, I seriously wiped the water droplets from my face and forearm thinking that it was really blood. Wow. I also loved the flock of crows rushing towards me. Wow. Wow. Wow.
We then proceeded to Anchors Away. When I first rode this thing when I was in high school, I swore I'll never ride it again since I got really dizzy. But you know what peer pressure can do. Haha! Surprisingly, I didn't feel any dizziness this time. Our project manager, on the other hand, hated it, and it showed in his face, my officemates said. You see, I was seated behind him so I can't really see his reaction. This picture is blurred but I think they were all laughing at Jerome.
We then rode the roller coaster, not the Space shuttle, just the smaller one. It wasn't exciting at all.
Then, the Jungle Log Jam. I was in the same log with Renai, Janica and Vince. I had a raincoat on since I didn't want to get wet. I felt a fever coming on the night before and early morning but I just had to join this team building activity! Although my clothes were pretty dry, my face was drenched. It was even a bit itchy for a while, I think.
I'm not sure if I remember the sequence right, but I think we then proceeded to the Space Shuttle. Jerome, Aimee, Rizza and Jamie didn't join us. They stayed beside the fake astronaut taking pictures. Hehe. I loved it. Although the sides of my head hurt a little bit because my head kept bumping on the safety metal thing, I really don't know how to refer to it. I loved the ride. Regin who was sitting beside me, was clenching his eyes shut and he looked really funny. Carlson and Gerald were in front and after the ride, I now wish I was there too!!! We don't have a picture of this, we do have a video though. =)
Then we went to the Rio Grande. Now that's another thing that wasn't at EK back in high school. I wore my raincoat again. Haha, it didn't give much protection. I was drenced from waist down. Gosh. Vince knows how to control the "boat" so that Aimee and I are always the ones who gets splashed with water. Grrr!!! Now I'll definitely suffer the fever. I wasn't about to tell anyone though, we're having so much fun! I took medicine earlier anyways.
We rode Flying Fiesta again, in the hope of getting ourselves dried up a bit. Didn't help that much.
We were a bit tired already so we decided to sit for a while in the Wheel of Fate. When I rode this back in high school, I couldn't move because I felt like the thing we're seating on will be detached from the while if I did. But this time, I didn't even notice the height. Probably because Jerome was telling lots of stories, the most interesting one was about his river rafting experience in Kalinga where he almost drowned. Thank God he's still here!
Some went to the arcade shop and some of us went back to Anchors Away and rode it two more times. It got boring.
We then proceeded to the arcade shop too and saw Vince and Aimee at the videoke booth and the others playing billiards. We joined the videoke people of course. After a while, the billiards people also joined us. Here's a list of the songs we sang:
1. Vince - Just Once
2. Aimee - Never Had A Dream Come True
3. Rizza - I Will Survive
4. Imee - a Kyla song which she sang really, I mean REALLY well
4. Regin - Spice Up Your Life
5. Gerald - Wherever You Will Go, he was really really good also.
6. Renai - Dancing Queen
7. Jamie - Dadalhin
8. Carlson - Want It That Way
9. Regin part 2 - Sana Mama, this was the best performance! It's a sing and dance number.
9. Marc - I Believe I can Fly
10. Jerome - Chiquitita
11. Me - Huwag Mo Nang Itanong
12. Imee part 2 - Killing Me Softly
We were all singing Janet Jackson's Together Again when a crew called us out to see the fireworks.
We tried different games after that wherein we didn't win anything. Haha!
After that, it was time to go home (no!), but we first stopped by at Chowking to have dinner.
This is definitely the longest post I've ever done in my life. It just shows how happy this experience made me! This isn't even complete! There's a lot more to this activity!
What a day! Although I did have the fever...until earlier today.
