Today we went to Enchanted Kingdom. There were 6 of us: Aaron, Esge, JP, Nate, and I.
Left home at 8, arrived at Philcoa at 8:44, met Jesus Dacanay at Mercury Drug (I was buying a bottle of water)-
The meeting was at 9:45 so we talked for a bit (until 8:37) at KFC while I had breakfast. He also bought a snack box. I took two to three pieces of fries, of course. I heard from last year's barkada meetup at QC Circle (I didn't write about it) that he already has a girlfriend. Of course I chatted him about it, and I don't want to comment anything here. Secrets are safe with me :P We also talked about his acads and nihonggo and other stuff. He still likes to talk about his views of the world. It's good to see he's doing well.
I then moved to McDo and found Nate there, waiting. Shortly after, Esge, Astro and JP came, with few minutes of intervals. We were waiting for Aaron but apparently we were going to meet up at the terminal (I didn't understand the text). He was at Cubao though, at Jac Alimall, but arrived there first nevertheless.
Left at around 10:45, window seat beside Nate-
We talked a bit about his family and their christmas break
Arrived at waltermart past 12, finished eating at Jollibee 12:54, entered EK-
My ride count: 1/1 Bump car, 1/4 Anchor's Away, 1/5 Space Shuttle, 2/2 Ferris Wheel, 2/2 Airplane thing, 1/1 Swan lake, 1/1 Rio Grande, 1/1 Log jam, 1/1 Horror house, 1/2 Disc, 1/1 Rialto, 1/1 Balloon, 1/1 Flying Fiesta
The denominators are low because apparently there was this school field trip which took a lot of space.
As you can see I'm not very fond of thrill rides. I tried them anyway, just to know how they feel.
The thrill comes from the drop feel, the one that gives butterflies in the stomach. The other swings and rotations and accelerations are simply a bonus. Good thing the EKstreme tower drop was under maintenance though; I don't think I'd like that one.
However, not everyone rides for the thrill: a lot actually are after the glory of surviving (basically bragging rights).
There's this sold out faith analogy: life is like a rollercoaster. You're not gonna enjoy it unless you trust that you won't fall.
If you don't overextend the analogy, it's actually pretty true. It's always a different thing when you're already riding the rollercoaster though. Faith isn't something you get in your head by reading an analogy; it's something you develop when you lean your body on a life support while the rollercoaster is overturned. Not an exact analogy though; as you can see, God seems out of the picture.
Left EK 7:02, finished dinner at Waltermart Mang Inasal 7:54, rode bus a few minutes past 8, bus left around 8:50
