The Magic Lives...

Enchanted Kingdom! Wheee~ It's been so long since I visited this happy place! I think I was in High School when I first came here and conquered the Swan Lake and Jungle Log Jam. Hahaha~ I came here last week with my colleagues at work! What I love about my job is bonding time with people. Movies, parties, and now... a visit to a theme park!  (^_^)

Welcome to EK!

Of course, we all have that friend who likes to take it to the extreme! EK has four extreme rides, uhm, I hoped I could survive the day. Hahaha! But anyway, as a warm up, we first rode bumper cars. It was good old fun!

Beside the bumper cars is the EKstreme Tower. Yep, you guessed it! Extreme rides here we go! Hey, I got a really nice photo before the take off...


Getting ready for take off...
But ugh... I looked quite the opposite after the ride. Why? Well, just see for yourself...



Woah~ That was extreme, isn't it? Oh no~ Nothing could prepare me for the next. Anchors Away seemed like nice and it wasn't even tagged as an 'extreme ride'. At first, I didn't believe my friend who said that it wouldn't be a smooth ride. But I do now. Waaaaa~ My insides felt like it was going out or something. I couldn't control my legs from trembling. Half way through, I wanted to quit, but the pirate ship just kept on moving. Noooooo! 



After that traumatic and unforgettable extreme Anchors Away, my friends and I decided to stop by for lunch. However, I was in an adrenaline rush and I didn't feel any hunger at all. So I decided for a light snack, instead. The food in LaunchTime restaurant tastes great! 


My pasta for lunch. Yummy!
So after those extreme rides, we decided the next to be a bit more chill. Ferris Wheel it is! Yay! The wind on your face plus a nice view of the sunset equals the "wow" factor. Two thumbs up!


The Ferris Wheel is EK's highest point.

After chilling for a few minutes, we took another extreme ride. I mean double extreme! We queued up for EK's famous attraction, the Space Shuttle. Hesitation took over me when I saw how scary it was. But then again, my good friends just wouldn't let me leave. Huhuhu~

The Space Shuttle proved that I could conquer my fears. I could feel the wind on my face and the twists and turns. It took me to an extreme experience like never before! I'm happy that my colleagues pushed me to do it. To be honest, Anchors Away was a scarier ride. Hehehe~ (^_^)v

Okay, but after Space Shuttle, I didn't want anymore extreme rides. Hahaha~ While some of us queued for the Disk-O-Magic, I went for the classic no hassle, no scare ride in the Carousel. Happy times!

Then, we stopped by and watched the parade! Here is the cute EK mascot dancing! 





With a splash of colors the fireworks gave on the night sky, we ended the day with a bang! It was a very ecstatic day for us. The rides, extreme or chill, gave us memories to laugh and to cherish. Enchanted Kingdom sure is a happy place and the magic stays with you, forever.

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
