Enchanted Kingdom : Magical experience outside the Metro

Image
I still have strong recollection of what are the feelings that I've felt in my Enchanted Kingdom experience. It would be a prime theme park destination in the country due to it's location which is very convenient, accessible  and would take an hour ride from Metro Manila to Santa Rosa, Laguna. The entire area of this amusement park is vast and wide enough to accommodate thousands of tourist, students ,and thrill seekers. It also offers number of rides for young and young-at hearts. So let's not make it long. Let me introduce you to their rides and attractions. Rialto It's a movie house that offers 3D picture and as the movie goes on playing your seat will also move according to the pacing and movement of the movie. I've watched Sponge Bob and Journey to the Center of the Earth.  Wheel of Fate EK's giant ferris wheel that moves very slow that gives you ample time to have a birds-eye view when your on the t...

Image
                                                Our team goes out again for another team building and this time we had it in Star City, Pasay City. Accessible and we never had to go out of the city. Just can be found in the heart of the metro. Star City offers most number of rides compared to any other amusements parks in the country. The goodness about Star City even though it's more than 2 decade old, The management still manage to keep the theme park well-maintained, covered, air-conditioned and never failed to offer new, fun and exciting thrills. We went on a Saturday afternoon and some arrived 6 P.M. I was excited like a child again! haha for it was my first time to experienced Star City's rides and ambiance. The early folks of our team bought the tickets for us and it's "Ride all you can" ticket which cost P400. They ate first because it was pas...

Got SPIT on at Quantum Cafe!

Image
It was a night of great food and intelligent comedy thanks to SPIT ( Silly People's Improv Theater ). To give everyone a brief background, SPIT is Manila's premiere improvisational theater troupe, formed in 2002 by actor Gabe Mercado (Da Pulis vocalist, Eto na ang Susunod na Kabanata cast, Yakult's Ok ka ba tyan? among others) and the first Asian group that performed at the Los Angeles Improv Festival in 2004. SPIT is known for their intelligent, interactive, classy and immersive improv  brand of comedy and have been making people laugh their hearts out with their hilarious jokes, impromptu remarks and witty comments. Forget about the usual comedy bar type of entertainment as SPIT offers so much more as they are known for their creative, unique and entertaining games that lets the crowd participate from their seats. Although SPIT relies mostly on the crowd interaction to be able to pull off a great show, each experience is uniquely different from the rest, and once yo...

Distrito is Back!

Image
Can't go to Robinson's Pioneer, the Fort or Ortigas Center since they are too far? Fret no more! Distrito is back once again to cater your late night cravings! It offers a wide selection of mouth-watering food, great tasting snacks, meals, pastries, desserts and more from the best home chefs, bakers and restaurants from around Makati. Distrito is from the same organizers that brought the Mercato Centrale. It opens Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 9:00 PM to 3:00 AM. We decided to check it out after our Madagascar movie trip at Greenbelt since it is pretty near. And we were not disappointed. Aside from the great food choices, we also enjoyed the Live Acoustic performance (I forgot the name of the singer), Free Wi-Fi and Free Freshly Brewed Coffee (for Makati Med Employees and call center folks alike, although it is good while supplies last). Distrito is located in the Amorsolo parking lot (beside Makati medical center) along the corners of Ayala Avenue, Armosolo a...

Sagada Adventure

Image
Dubbed as the Shangrila of the North, Sagada is famous for its panoramic views, glorious caves, hanging coffins, magnificent rice terraces, spectacular water falls and lush forests that are mostly pine and moss. There are a lot of places to see and things to do in Sagada, sufficient enough to say that a weekend trip won't really mean you've "been to" Sagada. There are several routes to take to explore this nature's haven. Each of them takes you to different places altogether. Trips can be arranged from the local tourism office where you can get your guides as well. Spelunking at Sumaging Cave As they say, a visit to Sagada would be incomplete without a trip to the "Big Cave". Sumaging contains a lot of chambers that can be explored, as well as mini-waterfalls and natural pools. With only the light of the kerosene lamp to show the way, we braved Sumaging cave along with our tour guide. The cave has three parts - the muddy first part, (accord...
