January - Laguna's Enchanted Kingdom

Enchanted Kingdom is Philippines' version of Disneyland and Universal Studios.  It is located in Sta. Rosa Laguna just an hour drive from Makati. 

It was January 14th, Saturday after my shift.  My co-workers decided to spend the day at Enchanted Kingdom.  Since our shift ends at 6 am, we tried to kill time by having breakfast first at Mcdonald's Valero.  We headed to Joy's mansion in San Pedro Laguna right after so we can have some rest.  The plan is to go to EK after lunch.  For lunch, we had Shakey's bunch of lunch delivered. 

After lunch we took a few photos at Joy's place since they really have a nice family house and then she drove us to Enchanted Kingdom.  We didn't expect that huge crowd that day.  The parking space is vast yet full of buses from different provincial schools having their field trips.

When we got there, it was almost 4pm already and we looked for the nearest possible ride that we could have.  The lines are really long so we ended up lining up for bump cars.  We stayed on the line for almost an hour right before we could have our turn.  But even if it took us so long to ride the cars and bump each other.  We still enjoyed each minute that we were on it.  It feels like going back to childhood.

And now we are ready to get wet.  Next on our line up is the Jungle Log Jam.  It's a ride were you ride a log that passes through a trail that goes up and down and of course theres water on the side so you won't really escape getting wet.  Jenny was scared of taking such ride and good thing that she was able to overcome it.


We wanted to try other rides too but due to lack of time and the long lane we just took what are available and has a short lane.  The next ride wont really seem thrilling for adults like us because it's like riding a regular swing but since the people that I was with are really fun-loving and up for anything we enjoyed the Flying Fiesta as well.  I was praying hard that the facility wont give and that nobody gets hurt since it just came from a minor repair.


We also stopped in some souvenir shops and bought some trinkets for my nieces and nephew and for Cyndee's baby.  I got cute pens, a cellphone accessory, coloring books and some toys that when soaked in water will become big and sticky.  To bad we didn't get a chance to watch Journey to the center of the Earth in Rialto because we were time constraint.


Finally, our much awaited ride that has the longest line ever in EK is the Rio Grande Rapid.  I think it took us more than an hour to take our turn.  We were even able to watch the fireworks from outside while waiting for our turn.  Well it was worth the wait since almost everybody got wet and it was really fun.
