Happy Birthday Nikko, It really was and Adventure!!!
Greetings! I cannot contain my excitement. I have to place every little detail of yesterday's events in this blog or else I'll blow up. Seriously. I woke up at 8 I think. Aby and I were suppose to meet at the Libertad Station at 11 but she moved it to 11:45, so there. We went to Robinson's Place Manila first and ate at Ice Monster before we knew it, it was already 1 pm, our meeting time. We went back to school and then we waited. Daryll was the first one to arrive and then I called Nikko, he and the others were at Paco Park since the Berze pipz have a practice. We went there. There was a bit of chaos about who's going to come and where we will be going. Baby M and Jar will only be able to come if we go to Star City while 7 of us wanted to go to Enchanted Kingdom. Our conscience was bothering us as we walked our way to the UN station of the LRT where we will be meeting Iric. Oh yeah, I was so shocked but also very happy that "ganda" will be able to come with us. Yipee! When we were finally complete we went to Buendia to the bbl trans station where we rode a bus to Sta. Rosa. The bus ride? It was fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, and a million more fun. I think it was about an hour and a half or more but it felt like 10 minutes. We felt like we owned the back part of the bus. We talked about our teachers, school, memories from the past, Daryll made jokes and a lot more. Before we knew it we were in Sta Rosa. We got off the bus at Walter Mart (hehe, not WalMart). We rode a tricycle and viola we were in front of the most magical place in the Philippines, Enchanted Kingdom! Naah, it wasn't the most magical place but that's what the brochure says. We were so excited. We rode the roller coaster first, it was corny. Then we were suppose to ride the Anchors Away but then it was still under Maintenance Check so we rode the Space Shuttle. Out of the 8, only 3 have ridden the space shuttle before. It was also my first time. I wasn't nervous. I don't know. I used to be really scared of that ride but being with my friends made me brave. I wanted to try it out. Iric was a kill joy. He did not ride it with us. Boohoo! Nikko had an imaginary friend for a partner. Hahaha. Anyway it was an unforgettable experience. Nothing will rival the feeling of riding the space shuttle. After that we rode the Flying Fiesta where we just got dizzier after riding the space shuttle and then the Anchors Away where we enjoyed shouting stuff to each other like Nerds Rule! etc. I think after that we rode the Rio Grande Rapids. I think it was the most enjoyable ride because of many reasons. First, we were all together in that ride. We were laughing as to who will get hit by the water and we were laughing at Daryll, Aby and Abychu because they were the wettest bunch on our first ride. Since Iric did not even get wet we went for another ride. This time he took the place of Daryll. So he got wet. Abychu took a shower. Hahaha. The water jumped and landed on her head. After that we rode the Jungle log jam where our faces were wet with water. Our pictures looked funny. After that we dressed up, ate and then rode the Rialto, the Wheel of Fate, where the swan thingy started. The other group made Aby cry. Then our last ride was the 4D theatre. It was really something. I would've enjoyed it much if the show was not horror. Waa. I can't explain the experience but I can say that you can really feel that you were the one who's in the movie. There's water and air involved. You'll be shocked that there's air coming from behind your seat. It was an additional payment of 40 pesos but it was worth it although I missed half of it since my eyes were closed. Iric was saying that I would have my eyes closed and he was right. I really can't stand horror. Anyway when we got out it was time for the Fire works. All I can say is WOW! I felt like I was a kid again. A kid who enjoys simple but magnificent things like fireworks. All of us felt like that. This was the end of the adventure. NOT! It's actually nothing compared to what came next. Something we did not expect. Going to Sta. Rosa was fairly easy since someone already told us how but our mistake was we did not ask them how to get home. We rode a tricycle to Balibago Complex where they charged us 60 pesos. whoa. Then it was the time to part. 5 - 3. Daryll, Carla and Maricar were going to Cavite while the 5 of us were going back to Manila. We rode a different van. All of them were talking and talking about stuff. I was leaning on Abychu's shoulders and had my eyes closed. I think they already covered all topics and then we saw SM Mega Mall. We were like wait. This is already Ortigas. We were supposed to go down in Buendia. The people who were with us at the back of the van were helpful enought to tell us that we were lost and how to get back to Buendia. But still, we were lost. We did not know how to go back. We were in the middle of nowhere. We were helpless. Well, not really. We knew where we were. We crossed the street and rode a bus that has a sign of Leveriza. The bus ride was long and we were scared that it would bring us to another unknown place. I was all eyes. I did not even dare blink. Abychu and Iric were almost drifting to sleep when. Bam! The people were having a commotion. They thought the bus hit a person but luckily it didn't. A white van had an accident. It was beside our bus. Of course, this added more panic. Our parents were already calling us. We were already sure that when we arrived home we will be scolded. Aby then saw a sign saying Edsa-Pasay. So, she asked me if we were going down already. I merely said that the bus conductor said it will pass through Leveriza so we have to stay in the bus until we reach Leveriza. Another kind man in front of their seat said that we were indeed going to pass through Leveriza. We finally reached Gil Puyat Ave. They though I knew the way, sorry guys but I'm foreign to that part of Gil Puyat but when we passed Manila Pen I knew we were on the right track because I've passed that way before. I told them if we were in Gil Puyat we just have to go straight ahead and we'll reach Taft and viola, Taft Avenue it is. I felt like crying. Seeing the GIl Puyat station of LRT, I said I'm finally in a place where I know the way. So we helped Iric, Abychu and NIkko ride a jeep and then Aby and I went to the loading zone. We rode a jeepney, Evangelista-Libertad, the jeepney I ride everyday when going home. We reached our house and I gave out a sigh of relief. Whoo...I'm finally home. Aby stayed for awhile to call his dad and she went off. I immediately fell to sleep thinking of all the adventures we've had the previous day since it was already midnight. Well, all I can say is when you're with friends you will feel confident and brave even in the scariest situations. You won't feel helpless. It was 2 years ago, in freshman year where we met each other. Until now we are all good friends. All of us are ready to help each other out. Anyway, Nikko...I'm sure this is a birthday you will never forget. Happy Birthday. To the others, I was so happy yesterday that I was with all of you. Tp the swan: You won't be able to bring bad luck to us anymore. And now as I write this post I'm proud to say that I survived the Space Shuttle. I survived another great adventure, the greatest so far and I survived it with my friends. Woohoo! Love you , guyz! P.S. I loved the fireworks!!!
you know you love me
