Our date with Papa

Our date with Papa.. This is a once a year experience and sometimes once in 5 years pa.. Papa lives and works in China since my youngest brother was born, that makes it.. hhmm.. 14 years.. He's just here since the start of Chinese New Year. I must admit I so miss my Papa. Come to think of it, he wasn't there when I graduated in grade school, high school, even college. So, I didn't feel it was loss when I got married without my family since I'm pretty used to it so to speak. Anyway, this is one of the Sundays I'll never forget, Papa treated us to lunch in Gateway, Cubao, in one of my fave resto, SuperBowl of China. Just take a look at our pictures while enjoying the food. Papa left earlier today to continue his work in China, we will surely miss him. We love you papsi...

Marikina's pride

It was early part of January, a few days after his birthday when out of no where we decided to go to Marikina. I personally love this city since the last time I saw it, a few years back, and the thought that it's just two jeepney ride away from our place, it's not hassel. When we got there we saw a different Marikina, it was even more refreshing with a lot of stalls, a lot of people roaming around their park. It was fun and we felt like we're in a different world when we went to this side of the park when we saw different booths for their specific themes. Check our pictures. It was already dark when we went there, sorry for the dark pics.. ehehehe..

Welcome to Star City

It's been a yearly event for me and hubby to visit Star City. Whether it's before or after Christmas as long as we try the different rides offered by Star City. Our original plan was to go to Enchanted Kingdom, however, things are really expensive there and we didn't have much money to fund for our transportation. Anyway, probably this year, 2008 would be a good year to visit EK. Hmm..

The Ride-All-You-Can costs P 300, and additional entrance fee for Dino Land and Snow World Manila for P 150. Supposedly if you buy them seperately that's a P 100 for Dino Land and Snow World for another P 100.

Things still look like the same, the tiangge is still there, where you could buy from toys, cellphones, clothes and even pets. You can still see the games where the prizes are huge toys hanging in their boots.

Anyway, our first ride was the Flying Carpet, it wasn't scary anymore, after, hhhmm.. the 20th time I ride on it? hehehehe.. Still, hubby's making fun of those first timers, scaring the hell out of them, silly but it was fun. We then had our merienda, for a small sized pizza, you can spend 80-90 pesos, good for two (slim people), the taste is good enough, you wouldn't mind eating it since you're in a theme park. And then we tried the Dino Land, it's like the old Lion King without the boat. I think it's not worth the P 100 bucks and you would really mind going back. Then there's the famous ride, if I remember it right, Star Rider, the one with the most line, I tried it twice and the less than 30-second ride was fun, just make sure you don't lose your slippers and bags because it will flip you over 360 degrees in the air. There's still the other rides which I can't remember their name. The last one I tried was the Surf Dance, I still remember last year when I almost vomitted. It was hair raising at first, but when I tried it again, it wasn't so bad at all, I even enjoyed it. The most enjoying part though is the Snow World. Just a hint, they would ask you if you have a camera, it will be a little stupid of you if you say yes, so just keep them unseen, so you could take pictures anywhere you want. It just looks a big freezer but the point there is it's really cold inside and you would really think you're in Alaska. I included some of the pictures here, so enjoy..
