EK fun day

it's been a while since i've been to enchanted kingdom. but every time, as soon as i see those all-too-familiar silhouettes of wheel of fate and space shuttle, i'm a kid again--excited beyond belief! yesterday was a day or work + play. we buckled down to work shooting people, scenes, rides at the park. then later on, got on some of the rides. i wasn't able to get on ALL my usual rides, but i got on the ones i really really wanted to ride, so that's ok. i didn't have time to get on jungle log jam, which was a first, because that's usually the last ride i take everytime i'm at EK. i didn't get a chance to scream to my heart's content at space shuttle. the "feature" at the rialto was a disappointment this time. (i didn't get to scream, not even once!) but i got to experience the 4D theatre, which was ... interesting. worth the P40 for the experience. we rode the carousel twice. (come on, no amusement park visit is complete without it. whatever age you are!)

my awesome all-access (well, save for a few) band!

but the true highlight of my trip was the ride on the wheel of fate. i have always loved ferris wheels. well, except for the really rickety ones at our school fair. but there's really something so empowering and exhilirating about being many many feet above ground. my first ride was with my dad, at philcite, i think, when i was a kid. i guess there's also that bit of nostalgia involved. but really, i was exhausted from the work and the heat before i got on the wheel of fate. but by the first revolution (is that what it's called??) of the wheel, i was happy again. that's much cheaper than therapy. haha! here are some of the pix from our trip:


*thanks to jac for some of the pix. check out her blog!!!*

later on, at dinner, things got a little--ahem!--out of hand with the fried chicken. (dare i say wild?) hopefully, we're not banned from KFC!;)


we're also bidding jac goodbye as she makes the move from this side of the office to a few meters away to editorial. hope to still see you around, jac!
