Joy Ride

\\

You work so hard to live life. After the back breaking duties you deserve a treat. Take some time and set things on fire. You deserve to be happy!

ENCHANTED KINGDOM. Located in Sta. Rosa Laguna about 39 kilometers from the heart of Manila is one of the happiest place in the Philippines. A theme park often abbreviated as EK. The rides and attractions are scattered across seven themed zones. 

Jungle Log Jam. The exciting water ride that gives a thrill of racing along the twisting river of up and down clutches, while sitting in a dug-out-log. It will takes two times a lift and down a slope before splashing into the water. That explains my messy look.

Mario and Cynthia Mamon are the founders of the theme park. Their family frequented visited theme parks such as Boom na Boom, Big Bang sa Alabang and Fiesta Carnival which led to the couple of opening a theme park of their own. The Mamons wrote to different groups and joined the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions which assisted them on getting consultants, contractors and suppliers to set up Enchanted Kingdom. Enchanted Kingdom opened in October 19, 1995. Aside from being the founder and President of Enchanted Kingdom, Mr. Mamon is the first Asian and first Filipino to head the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions or IAAPA.

Operations of Enchanted Kingdom were with difficulties during its first years from 1995-2002, with the 1997 Asian financial crisisaffecting the business significantly only recovering from the financial breakdown in 2003. When business stabilized, the management began introducing two entertainment units per year. Business grew and was later registered the highest daytime visit to an amusement part in Region IV (Calabarzon and Mimaropa regions) from the Department of Tourism. Domestic visitors comprise the majority of the amusement park's visitors.

A spark of amusement naturally came out in less than 3 hours. Our baby girl apparently was on serious fantasy. I want her to start collecting memories while she is young.. Matters that doesn't fade as time age.

 7D INTERACTIVE MOVIE THEATER.  Surreal and amazing. Two thumbs up!

Along the garden of happiness was just magical. 

FERRIS WHEEL. Just got my messy hair!

Life is a ride. High. Low. Straight . Bumpy. Adjust with the speed. Hold tight, be responsible and know that discipline is an armor. Have faith and you will never be lost. You only live once, enjoy your ride!

Let's go South

The surface, the high altitude and beneath my eyes were literally breath-taking!I set my  quick tour to this highly magnificent place the next day after I landed back to Philippines for my 2016 vacation. My long time friend, one of my closest actually together with her daughter cracked a joke to stole some of my precious hours. I was demanded to stay overnight on their place plus a remarkable picnic to one of Philippines' pride.

Tagaytay is one of most popular tourist destination in the country. The amazing views and cooler temperature draws attraction  and a temporary escape for locals from the city heat.

The southern and eastern portions of Tagaytay City are covered by hills and mountains which is generally forests and open grasslands. The city lies along Tagaytay Ridge, a ridgestretching about 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Mount Batulao in the west to Mount Sungay(now People's Park in the Sky) in the east with elevations averaging about 610 metres (2,000 ft) above sea level. Mount Sungay, in Tagaytay, is the highest point of the province of Cavite at 709 metres (2,326 ft).

The People's Park in the Sky also known as simply People's Park is a historical urban park in Tagaytay, Cavite, Philippines. The park was converted from an incomplete mansion, known as the Palace in the Sky built during the Marcos Era

We were able to locate the famous Picnic Groove which offers a variety of recreational activities. 

Randomly i just choose my first Horseback riding which was unexpectedly amusing. We spent  at most four hours before hopping to our next destination. My friend apparently, pregnant contentedly prepared our home made lunch and made picture taking.

It is always a blessing to set a foot on places you've never been to. This is what life is made for. Thank you heavens for the opportunity!
