When we were planning the itinerary of our plant tour, we had Laguna in mind because most of the manufacturing plants were located there. But other than that, we had a hidden agenda: to go to Enchanted Kingdom! In my 24 years living in the Philippines, I have never stepped foot in the theme park. I think it's cause I know I'll always have the chance to, it being in the Philippines anyway. In fact, I was kidding around with Claire, who also has never been there, that buti pa yung HongKong Disneyland and Ocean Park, we got to visit those first! :P
What usually gets me excited to go to new places is the chance to take photos of them. #bloggermode I was especially excited to photograph Enchanted Kingdom, a theme park, which was sure to be a visual treat. It's kind of a bad thing, how the Filipino kodaker in me does that, when I'm supposed to enjoy the place and FEEL how it is to be there. To be fair though, I don't always do that; I get lazy sometimes. Haha #defensive
Either way, I was more excited to take photos talaga than to ride the rides because I'm such a fraidy puss! I was telling my classmates nga, I don't care what you say about me not riding the rides; I'm owning the Tita of the trip title if it means I don't have to!
Before getting there, we all pledged to try the rides together and to ride the milder rides together before making way to the extreme ones. But when we got there, the kids scrambled to Space Shuttle, that huge-ass roller coaster which goes backwards and forwards. Uhh no thanks. Jois and I opted to sit that one out. (Tita of the trip tally-1)

Right after that, we did the bump cars while the others went on to try the EKstreme, a free fall ride. I'm sure I would've been okay with the free fall ride since you just free fall but I would've died going up (while looking down) because I'm deathly afraid of heights!! (Tita of the trip tally-2) I wanted to try the Air Race ride too since it looked safe but lo and behold! The vessel holding you turned around, rendering you upside down. Um, no thanks again!! (Tita of the trip tally-3)

Finally, trying to not be such a tita, I agreed when we all got together to ride the Anchors Away. It looked safe enough; a boat swaying back and forth. We were even laughing at the kids whose faces looked so afraid. But while on the ride... all hell broke loose!

It started out simple. I was like, "okay, I can do this" but later on, I was like, "get me out of here!!" I could feel the blood rush to my head, which hurt. I couldn't shut my eyes because it would only make my head hurt more! I had to watch as we were flung into the air. I got so scared because I was afraid we would fall into each other when our side rose. Huhu. Kent, who was seated on the other side of the boat said I started out trying to control myself--breathing in, breathing out. But later on, I was screaming my head off in profanities and clutching Bern like my life depended on it. (Sorry Bern for the death grip and high-pitched screams) Eff!!! Di na ako uulit!!

| safe on land |
Right after, the kids tried out the Disk-o-Magic (?) which goes side to side but turns around while at it. There was someone who was probably around 60 who tried the ride before my friends had their turn and sobrang nahiya kami ni Mai-mai, who opted to sit the ride out. Hahaha. Buti pa si nanay, adventurous!

| My obligatory tourist photo with the magician outside the theme park got overexposed so I had to settle for this one, taken inside the park mehehe |
